dragon naturally speaking 10 ?

You need what's known as a response transform.

If you don't have an MSI authoring tool like Wise or InstallShield, but are relying on Orca or InstEdit, this is going to be a very long and painful process. You need to locate the properties behind the various dialog controls and use a transform to set those properties.

Meanwhile, check the 'Package KB' http://itninja.com/link/windows-media-player-10.x0

of course you were correct this is very painfull. I got the Nuance C++ runtime installed. Now whats killing me in this dang MST file. I started to use wise installtailer. but of course that did not work. (that would have been 2 easy.) then i opened it with orca & insted well i found the place to put the serial Number but still cannot find the area for adding name and company name type of install...

I started to use wise installtailer. but of course that did not work. (that would have been 2 easy.)

as vbscan said create your response mst
not sure what you mean here
are you saying you cannot create the response transform

I started to use [wise installtailer] Wise InstallTailor. but of course that did not work. Why "of course"? And what "did not work"? IIRC, Dragon has a number of obstacles to running the MSI directly but most are easily bypassed.

Has anyone sucessfully pushed dragon 10 out with a MSI yet? I have it open in orca. The only thing i see plain as day is how to change the serial number? Below is a pic of what I see. Any guidance would be great? I clicked transfor and new transform.

Here's some basics. It's not really that hard to package.

Create an admin install

Create Transform

Deleted the following shortcuts
-All Desktop Shortcuts
-Show Dragon Log
-Show Setup Log
-AutoTranscribe Folder Agent

Deleted the Merge Module 'ISUS' to prevent the installshield update service from installing

Set the following properties
REINSTALLMODE=vomus
ROOTDRIVE=C:\
ALLUSERS=1
AgreeToLicense=Yes
PRODUCTUPDATEFLAG=0
UPGRADESPEECH=1
_IsSetupTypeMin=Custom
REMOVEOLDPROD=1
REMOVEOLDDATA=1
UpgradeSpeecgFlag=1

what table should i be looking for these in?

The features whould be in the 'Feature' table

The shortcuts would be in the 'Shortcut' table

The properties would be in the 'Property' table

I assume that if you tried using the Wise Install Tailor utility that you have Wise (just a shot in the dark with that ;o]). If so, the just open up the MSI, click File-New, select 'Other Template' and select Transform.

Point it to the Dragon msi and then you'll be working in a transform that you can edit through a more friendly user interface than orca.

ok let me see if wise is better.
