Version 5.5.3
Bluebeam PDF Revu Silent Install
This document describes the steps required for performing a
silent installation of Bluebeam PDF Revu. The procedures defined in this
document can be used in order to perform remote and automated installations for
the Bluebeam Suite of products. The steps below need to 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.
The version 5.5.3 netdeploy installation file can be downloaded from
http://www.pdfdesktop.com/downloads/553/BBPDFRevu553NetDeploy.zip
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/download is the Windows
Install 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: BbPDFRevuSetup5xx.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\BbPDFRevuSetup553.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\BbPDFRevuSetup553.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\BbPDFRevuSetup553.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\BbPDFRevuSetup553.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\BbPDFRevuSetup553.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss" /V"DEFAULTVIEWER=dvoff DESKSHORTCUT=0"
Runs a basic silent install and specifies not making Revu the default PDF viewer, and not placing shortcuts for Revu or Stapler on the desktop:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup553.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss" /V"DEFAULTVIEWER=dvoff DESKSHORTCUT=0 DESKSTAPLER=0"
Runs a basic silent install and specifies that the Revu start page should never download updated news
and tips from the web:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup553.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss" /V"NEWSUPDATE=0"
Runs a basic silent install and specifies disabling text-editing features within Revu:
G:\bb\BbPDFRevuSetup553.exe /z"/SN:9999999 /PK:XXXXX-YYYYYYY" /s /f1"g:\bb\setup.iss" /V"EDITENABLED=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\BbPDFRevuSetup553.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\BbPDFRevuSetup553.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
need 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.
