How to deploy Live Meeting add-ins over a network to workstations that run Outlook 2003 or that run Windows Messenger (842366)

MORE INFORMATION

To deploy Live Meeting add-ins over a network to workstations that run Outlook 2003 or that run Windows Messenger, use one of the following methods:

• Run the Live Meeting add-in program (Lmaddin.exe) directly from a link on the Web. The setup file checks to see if your computer supports Microsoft Windows Installer installations. If your computer does not support Windows Installer installations, the setup file downloads the appropriate Windows Installer support update and installs it. The setup file then downloads Lmaddin.msi and installs it.
• For administrative installations, download the Windows Installer file and run it by using by using Msiexec instead of by using Lmaddin.exe. Msiexec supports a variety of command line parameters that are relevant to the installation.
  
  For a complete list of command line parameters, visit the following MSDN Web site:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/command_line_options.asp

In addition to the standard MSIEXEC command line parameters, the installer supports command line parameters that are specific to the Live Meeting add-ins. To specify a parameter, indicate the parameter as name=value--for example, PW_ACCOUNT=contoso.

When you use multiple parameters, separate each parameter with a comma.

The following command line parameters are available for the Live Meeting add-ins:

• PW_ACCOUNT
  Your company account on the server. This is the part of the URL to Live Meeting that follows /cc/ in the Web address.
  Defaults to blank.
• PW_ACCOUNT
  Your company account on the server. This is the part of the URL to Live Meeting that follows /cc/ in the Web address.
  Defaults to blank.
• PW_AUTOGENKEYS
  The setting for automatically generating meeting keys for Meet Now meetings every time that the organizer initiates a Meet Now meeting.
  1 (true). Default.
  0 (false).
• INSTADDIN
  The installation setting that indicates that you want to install both Live Meeting add-ins or only one.
  0 (installs both add-ins) Default.
  1 (installs only the Outlook add-in).
  2 (installs only the Messenger add-in).
• QUITAPPS
  An installation setting that controls the check for programs that might interfere with the installation. Provides the option to automatically quit programs that are open or it gives the user the option to quit the program manually.
  0 (a message appears that prompts the user to quit open programs or to let the setup file quit them. Default.)
  1 (automatically quits programs without displaying a message to the user).
  2 (causes the installation to fail if any conflicting program is open. A message does not prompt the user to quit the programs).
  
  For example, lmaddin.msi /qb QUITAPPS=1 automatically quits any interfering programs and does not display a message to the user.
• PW_ORG_ID*
  The organizer ID of the person who will be using the Live Meeting add-ins.
  Defaults to blank.
• PW_ORG_PW*
  The password for the person's organizer account.
  Defaults to blank.
  
  * These command line parameters apply only to the user who sets the username and the password. The username and the password are not copied forward for additional users of the product.
  
  For example, if a computer has two users, user A and user B, and user A specifies an organizer ID and a password in the command line when he or she installs the Live Meeting add-in, user B does not inherit that ID and that password.

The following is an example administrative installation command line:Note This command may line-break. This command must be one continuous line.

The example installs the Live Meeting add-in only with progress UI but no prompts, writing installation errors to the install-error-log.txt file and to the setting the account, the organizer ID, and the organizer password.

Note If the UI is set to no prompts, the preferences do not appear at the end of the installation. If you set the UI to full, the preferences do not appear at the end of installation, even if you specified the account, the organizer ID, and the password on the command line.
