Xerox DocuShare Support & Software Release Note

Release Notes for Xerox® DocuShare® Drive

DocuShare Drive Version 1.5 Revision 1

INSTALLATION

You must be an administrator on the computer to install and remove DocuShare Drive. Creating a system

restore point prior to running the installer is recommended. To run the installer, use DSDriveSetup.exe on

a 32-bit machine, or DSDriveSetup64.exe on a 64-bit machine. The setup program ensures that the

installer runs with an approriately elevated administrator privilege.

The setup program is generated using the Microsoft IExpress self-extract technology. It supports the

setup switches described in the article from below.

To perform the installation silently, use the /Q switch.

If you want to pre-select a DocuShare server for auto-mapping during the installation, you need to

override the default MSI launch command. To do so, use the /C switch. Here is an example.

DSDriveSetup /C:"msiexec /i DSDrive.msi /lv DSDriveInstall.log

DSURL=http://www.yourbusiness.com/docushare MAPFIRSTSERVER=1"

The above command pre-selects a DocuShare at

for automatic

mapping at the end of the installation process.

If you just want to extract the MSI file, use the /T switch (followed by specification of a destination

directory).

If you have customized the MSI and must run the MSI directly, start a command prompt with administrator

privileges, CD to the directory of DSDrive.msi, and issue the command, msiexec /i DSDrive.msi. If the

installation is not run with an elevated privilege, the installer will not be able to correctly update your

machine's netwok configuration. The installation itself may complete. But, the runtime will likely

malfunction. The setup program now supports installer customization and setup program creation in one

step. Refer to FAQ for instructions.

If you are installing DocuShare Drive on a machine with DocuShare Client installed, you must disconnect

all servers prior to running the installation. Also, when running the DocuShare Drive installer, make sure

that the 'DocuShare Client update' feature is selected in the Custom Setup screen.

The installation requires pre-installation of

Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable .

DSDriveSetup does not include it. So, you must install it separately. If the target machine is 64-bit, make

sure that both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) editions of the redistributable are installed. If you have access

to the DocuShare Client 6.5.x setup program, you can use that to download and install the right

prerequisite library. As soon as the library finishes installing, quit the setup program, and come back to

DSDriveSetup. The prerequisite is already met if the target machine has the DocuShare Client installed.
