A special build of our software is available by clicking the link
included with each version below.
Version 4.7.1
The version 4.7.1 netdeploy installation file can be downloaded from:
http://www.pdfdesktop.com/downloads/471/Revu471NetDeploy.zip
See the readme.rtf included in the download file for details on installation options.
The steps below should be run as Administrator. This procedure has been
tested in the Windows 2000 and Windows XP environments. The target computers
should have access to the Internet to complete the automated authorization
process.
Before the Bluebeam Software can be deployed, the Windows installer
version 3.1 and Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 need to reside on the
target computer. Step 2 and Step 3 below provide instructions for running these
installs.
Step #1. Setup
It is suggested that you copy the files from this CD to a location where the
below programs can be accessed by the deployment software. For the purpose of
this example, we will place these files on an example network drive: g:\bb
Step #2. Run the Windows 3.1 Installer
Included on the Network Deploy CD or download is the Windows Installer 3.1
executable "WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe" Issue the
following command:
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /help
to see the options available options for executing. In order to perform a
silent install, it is recommended that you run the installation the installer
using the following command:
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /quiet
You can force a reboot after the install is completed by using the following
command line:
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /quiet /forcerestart
Step #3. Install the Microsoft .NET framework
A prerequisite for Bluebeam PDF Revu is that the Microsoft .NET Framework,
version 2.0 be installed on the target computer. The CD contains the Microsoft
.NET re-distributable package (dotnetfx.exe). You can run this program in a
silent manner using the following method.
Command: dotnetfx.exe
Parameters: /q /c:"install /q"
Example command line: g:\bb\dotnetfx.exe /q /c:"install /q"
Step #4. Install Bluebeam PDF Revu Application
There are 4 parameters that can optionally be configured:
- SN - Indicate the Serial Number to use for rolling out the software.
This parameter should be used with the PK parameter
- PK - Product Key to use for Rolling out the software. This parameter
should be used with the SN parameter.
- PS - Page Size parameter to is for the default. Valid options are
"A4" and "Letter"
- NC- Network configuration path. Setting this option enables
centralizing in one network location all of the Bluebeam settings for your
company. Running the setup with the below command parameters perform a silent
installation and registration of Bluebeam PDF Revu.
Command: PbPlusSetup4xx.exe
Parameters: /z"/SN:{Serial Number} /PK:{Product Key} /NC:{Network Path}" /s /f1"{dir}\setup.iss"
Note: The Product Key MUST be in uppercase.
Example command lines:
For the below examples, replace the Serial Number and Product Key with those
sent to you in your License Key e-mail.
Runs a basic silent install:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup471.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss"
Runs a basic silent install and specifies an A4 default page size for the
Bluebeam Printer:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup471.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY /PS:A4" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss"
Runs a basic silent install and specifies a central location (u:\\bb-config)
for Bluebeam settings:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup471.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY /NC:u:\bb-config" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss"
Runs a basic silent install and specifies not making Revu the default PDF viewer:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup471.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss" /V"DEFAULTVIEWER=dvoff"
Runs a basic silent install and specifies not making Revu the default PDF
viewer, and not placing a shortcut for Revu on the desktop:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup471.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss" /V"DEFAULTVIEWER=dvoff DESKSHORTCUT=0"
Installs both prerequisites, and runs a basic silent install:
G:\bb\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /quiet /forcerestart
G:\bb\dotnetfx.exe /q /c:"install /q"
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup471.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss"
Notes for organizations using SMS
1). If you are performing the install as a user different than the currently
logged-in user, you may need to specify the runas command as demonstrated in the
below sample:
g:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup471.exe /runas /z"/SN:{your SN} /PK:{Your PK}" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss"
2). A Package Definition File has been included with the distribution. Please
review the file and make any necessary changes needed for your
particular organization .
Step #5. Start AutoCAD/SolidWorks on Target Workstation
To verify that the installation completed successfully, run installation as a
user on the target computer. You may see a temporary message displayed on the
workstation, which says "Authorization successful" indicating that an
authorization was obtained from the Bluebeam Authorization Code servers. The
installation is now complete and successful.
