Questions about GPO MSI deployment

Post by MrBurny »

I try to deploy V7 Pro with GPO an the MSI File. Just to install the MSI package works fine.
But i have a problem with the MST file, i use Orca as suggested and can't find the switches "DDEFLANGID" and "EDITOR_LANGUAGE".
Can i just Add them?

In the Editor is the option "Manage Settings" to Export and Import Settings. I didn't find anything on your site, is it possible to generate a "Master".xces an use it with the MST File (like the Key) or is there an other option for this?

Thanks for your help

Hello Michael,

Are you using the pro or editor .msi package for your deployment?
DDEFLANGID and EDITOR_LANGUAGE were older names. It seems like the latest .msi package for the Pro bundle uses just one value "ProductLanguage" - so please do set this one accordingly - and both the Editor and Drivers should be set to the same language (if available).

Regards,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Thank you for your help.
I use the ProV7.x64.msi (i think thats the right one), and i found the "ProductLanguage" you mentioned. But the Value isn't en-US as usual, the Value says 1033.
Do you have a list which code is which Language? (i need de-DE)

Regards,
Michael

Hello Michael,

A neatly formatted list with the locale ID's I found here:
https://www.science.co.il/language/Locale-codes.php

1033 is the Decimal for English - United States.

1031 is de-DE (German - Germany)

Cheers,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

it works now with the MST File and the Code for de_DE.
Thank you very much.

Any info to my second question?
In the Editor is the option "Manage Settings" to Export and Import Settings. I didn't find anything on your site, is it possible to generate a "Master".xces and use it with the MST File (like the Key) or is there an other option for this?

Michael

Hi Michael,

Glad to hear that the MST is working now!

As for the other settings - those are stored in the registry, so to apply the same settings to many users you can either make a copy of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor
And then distribute that to other users as well.

Or you can create the settings file, place it on a location accessible by all user accounts, and then e.g. on the next user log on run the Editor exe with a
/importsettings parameter as explained here:

Stefan
