  Overview

You can use the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) engine to perform an unattended installation of NVivo 10. An unattended installation is undertaken entirely from the command line and requires no user interaction.

The MSI file and application files can be extracted from the NVivo 10 installer using one of the commands below. This creates a number of folders containing application files along with the QSR NVivo 10.msi file. 

• For 32-bit installations, use: NVivo10.x86.exe /a
• For 64-bit installations, use: NVivo10.x64.exe /a

If you require a silent installation (no messages or windows are displayed), you may need to change the command line options.

If you intend to install NVivo using the Windows Installer (MSI) engine, you will need to ensure that the prerequisites for NVivo are installed before you install NVivo---you can download these components from the Software download locations listed below. Instructions for installing these prerequisite components are provided.

You can also optionally install the supplementary add-ons for NVivo:

• NCapture---this is a browser extension that allows users to gather material from the web.
• NVivo Add-In for OneNote---this allows users to export content from OneNote for import into NVivo 10 Service Pack 1 (or later).

NVivo 10 Service Pack 2 (or later) allows users to work with YouTube videos (collected with NCapture). To play YouTube videos, users need to have Adobe FlashPlayer 11 and Internet Explorer 8 (or later).

Activating via command line and XML

NVivo 10 can be activated via the Internet using a command line script and an activation XML file. A valid license key is required for this process.

The following script needs to be run on each computer you intend to activate:

nvivo -i <license key> -a <activation filename> [-u <username> [-p <password>] [-d <domain>]]

This command performs a silent product initialization using the specified license key and the activation details in the specified activation file.

NOTE  

• Enter the license key in the following format: xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
• If you want to use NVivo as a 30 day trial, you can use the  '-i' parameter without a license key.
• If your organization's proxy server requires your activation request to be authenticated, you may optionally specify a username, password and/or domain. This information is not retained by QSR.

Activation file format

Copy the text below into Notepad, set the values within the tags, and then save as an .xml file. Ensure that you save it with UTF-8 encoding.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

Removing NVivo using a command line

We recommend that you deactivate NVivo before uninstalling the software.

To remove the NVivo software using a command line, run the following command:

 msiexec /x {49BFDB10-A9AC-4368-9BF1-236D569DD8F0} /qb

Removing prerequisite components

NVivo relies on a number of other components to run, and if they are not already present when you install the software using the setup wizard, NVivo will install them for you. However, when NVivo is uninstalled, these components remain on the workstation.

These components can be removed individually from the Control Panel. For computers running:

• Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, use Uninstall a program.
• Windows XP, use Add or Remove Programs.

You should only uninstall them if you are certain that they are not utilized by other programs on your computer.

The components to be removed, in order, are:

• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express Edition
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
• QuickTime Player 7 (for 32-bit only)
• Windows Media Player 11
• Adobe Flash Player 11 (NVivo 10 Service Pack 2 or later)
