You have the possibility to install/upgrade all DocuWare Desktop Apps silently.

DocuWare Desktop Apps:

  • DocuWare Desktop
    • Printer
    • Import
    • Scanner
    • Smart Connect
    • Edit & Send
    • Connect to Outlook
    • Windows Explorer Client
    • Common OCR
  • Upload App
  • Workflow Designer
  • Online Administration
  • UrlCreator

Prerequisites:

  • Windows Installer 4.5
  • .NET Framework v 4.5.2
  • Visual C++ 2010 redistributable packages (VCRedist100)
    • on x86 systems install only vcredist_x86.exe
    • on x64 Systeme install vcredist_x64.exe and vcredist_x86.exe
  • Visual C++ 2012 redistributable packages (VCRedist110)
  • Visual C++ 2015 redistributable packages (VCRedist140)

All prerequisites need to be installed manually and before installing the Desktop Apps silently. This is very important otherwise the Desktop Apps won't work.

You'll find the files here:
DW Cloud US: https://<Your-DocuWare-Cloud-URL>/DocuWare/ClientSetupData//Prerequisites/

There is a folder for each DocuWare Version which contains a folder with the prerequisites required.

How to perform a silent install of the Visual C++ redistributable packages is described in this MSDN Blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/10/20/10078468.aspx


 

Steps to perform a silent installation of the DocuWare Desktop Apps:

  1. Check which version is currently installed in DocuWare Online by opening Web Client menu - "About"
  2. Download the Desktop Apps installation files here
    https://<Your-DocuWare-Cloud-URL>/DocuWare/ClientSetupData
  3. Make sure that the directory where you saved the Desktop App installation files is available over the network (in this sample we use "\\servername\ClientSetupData\")
  4. Login to your Web Client and check which organization ID "orgId" is assigned to your organization. You can see the "orgId" at the end of the URL in your browser: "https://.../DocuWare/Platform/WebClient?orgId=1"
  5. Create a new text file in the setup directory and add the following content: 

    @echo off
    echo ****************************************************
    echo **** DocuWare Desktop Apps are being installed *****
    echo **** This window will be closed automatically. *****
    echo ****************************************************
    rem specify DWSetupPath, share folder "...\ClientSetupData\". Needs to be accessible from the client pc!
    SET WSetupPath=\\servername\ClientSetupData
    rem You'll find your organization ID at the end of the URL after login in the Web client: https://docuware-online.com/DocuWare/Platform/WebClient?orgId=1
    rem Depending on your region you need to take care which whether you are using DW Cloud EMEA or DW Cloud US. Adapt the URL accordingly:
    rem DW CLoud EMEA https://docuware-online.de rem DW Cloud US https://docuware-online.com
    SET DWSettingsPath=https://<Your-Cloud-URL>/DocuWare/Platform/Home/ClientSetupInfo?orgId=1

    rem logging is optional. Disable it by removing "/liwearmo %temp%\DocuWare_Desktop_Apps_Silent_Install_Xxx.log"
     
  6. Delete the corresponding rows for the apps which should not be installed.
  7. Adapt the highlighted parts according to your installation.
  8. Save the text file as e.g. DocuWare_Desktop_Apps_Silent_Install.bat
  9. Run the BAT file manually or in a Windows logon script 

Important notes:

  • Local admin rights are required for the installation
  • On terminalservers we recommend to add the parameter REBOOT=R, in order to prevent an automatic reboot of the server.
  • If there is no connection, DocuWare Desktop will automatically connect to the DocuWare System two minutes after the first start.
    • Another option is to trigger the connection using the command line argument -createdefaultconnection for DocuWare.Desktop.exe. The connection is then established immediately at the start of DW Desktop (see example BAT script above).
    • The users will be prompted to enter their DocuWare credentials.

 

For a silent uninstallation use this script:
