When installing PixEdit® Desktop or PixView® for a larger number of users, it is not always practical to use the standard installation .exe. There are separate installation packages for such cases. These installation packages can be found on "My account" when you are logged in to PixEdit's websites:
At "My account" there is an overview of advanced installation packages associated with your licenses:
In the package you download there are two files:
- package.msi
- install.bat
Package.msi is the actual installation file used by msiexec (Microsoft Installer). The .bat file contains the suggested msiexec commands to run to install the software. Open the Install.bat file in a text editor and read the instructions carefully. At the bottom of the instructions you will see the following command line:
msiexec /i Package.msi /qn PRODUCTKEY="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" SERIALNUMBER="XXX-XXXXX-XX"
"/i" means "install" and "/qn" means "silent install", i.e. without a user interface. What you need to do to install the software, is to replace the values (X) for PRODUCT KEY and SERIAL NUMBER with the product key and serial number from your PixEdit license.
