    Organization Wide Roll-out / Installation Parameters

    Last updated: October 1, 2024

    In case you want to install presentaid with an IT supported routine, you can specify certain installation parameters for an easy, organization wide roll-out. Of course you can use any combination of the available installation parameters.

    Quiet Installation

    If you install presentaid on the client machines via the command prompt or powershell, you can add the "/quiet" parameter to execute a quiet installation. This way the installer UI will not be shown, but presentaid will be installed in the background.

    Example:

    presentaid.msi /quiet

    License Key

    License Key as Installation Parameter

    You can provide the license key as input parameter when executing the msi. This way the individual users don't have to know and enter the license key.

    Example:

    presentaid.msi LICENSEKEY="ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE"

    The license key will be written to the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\bkt solutions\presentaid". Upon the next start of presentaid this key will be used to activate presentaid.

    License Key via manual Registry Entry

    You can add a registry key manually to trigger an automatic activation after the next presentaid start. To do this you need to create and run a .reg file like below.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\bkt solutions\presentaid] "LicenseKey"="ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE"

    Shared Location

    Shared Location as Installation parameter

    You can provide the company shared location as input parameter when executing the msi. This way the shared location is added to the shared locations of each user.

    Example:

    presentaid.msi SHAREDLOCATION="https://[company].sharepoint.com/sites/[SharedItems]/"

    Shared Location via manual Registry Entry

    You can add a registry key manually to trigger the connection to a shared location after the next presentaid start.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\bkt solutions\presentaid] "SharedLocation"="https://[company].sharepoint.com/sites/[SharedItems]/"

    Suppress Updates

    Suppress Updates as Installation parameter

    If you want to suppress presentaid updates for your users you can add a parameter when executing the msi.

    Example:

    presentaid.msi SUPPRESSUPDATES="true"

    Suppress Updates via manual Registry Entry

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\bkt solutions\presentaid] "SuppressUpdates"="true"
