Getting to know your network

Make sure to consider your network requirements for the deployment.

Administrative factors Does your organization (or do you, as administrator) have any

particular requirements for deploying and maintaining software?

Server factors Does your server have any special characteristics or constraints?

Workstation factors Do your workstations have any special characteristics or constraints?

User factors Do your workstation users have any special workflows?

Getting to know the software

Make sure that your server and workstations are eligible for the

software. If your organization uses a document-management system

(DMS), make sure that it is supported by the software.

Server requirements You can copy or extract WordPerfect Office X8 to a server that meets

the following requirements:

• Operating system with the latest service pack and critical updates: 

Windows Server® 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server

2008 R2

• 1.5 GB of server space (for a typical installation without extra

content)

Remote Desktop Services are supported on the server operating

systems listed above.

For details on server permissions, see “Server setup” on page 3.

Highlights:

Server requirements. . . . . .2

(WPD, WPT, WP, QPW) formats on the following document-

management systems:

• Microsoft® SharePoint® Server 2013

• Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010

• Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 with SP1

• SharePoint Portal Server 2003

For details on SharePoint setup, see page 4.

For more information For important notes on installing and using the software, it’s a good

idea to review the Readme file for the software.

To access the Readme file on the installation disc

•Run the following command line (where X: is the disc drive):

X:\ReadMe.htm

Setting up your network accordingly

After familiarizing yourself with your network and the software you

want to deploy to it, you can set up your network accordingly.

Server setup Do the following:

• Make sure that you are either a local administrator or an

administrator for the domains and workgroups that you are

managing.

Deployment Guide

Stage 1: Preparing for deployment 4

• Create a shared network location for the media you are copying or

extracting to the server, and make sure that you have read/write

access to that location.

If you want to make extra content (such as clipart and videos) available

to workstation users, do the following:

• Set up a shared network location, and make sure that users have

access to that location.

• Use the program DVD to install or copy the content to the shared

location.

Workstation setup Do the following:

• Make sure that you are — and anyone else who will be installing the

software is — either a local administrator or an administrator for the

domains and workgroups that you are managing.

• Make sure that you have — and anyone else who will be installing

the software has — read access to the location where you copied or

extracted media.

SharePoint setup WordPerfect Office IFilter is installed automatically when you install

WordPerfect Office X8. If you want WordPerfect Office IFilter as a

standalone application, you can download it from here. To speed

searches, install WordPerfect Office IFilter on all servers that will be

hosting WordPerfect files. Detailed instructions on installing

WordPerfect Office IFilter on Microsoft SharePoint 2013, Microsoft

SharePoint 2010, and Microsoft SharePoint 2007 servers are available

on officecommunity.com.

Step 1: Check your security settings

WordPerfect supports the SharePoint features for Windows Security.

Be sure to configure the local domain to allow password authentication

for your SharePoint server, which requires Hypertext Transfer Protocol

over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS/SSL) security.

Step 2: Install WordPerfect Office IFilter & SharePoint

Resources

On your SharePoint server, run the appropriate WordPerfect Office

IFilter executable file, which you can download from here. The setup

installs the WordPerfect Office IFilter (for detecting and indexing

stored WordPerfect documents), along with various other

enhancements. Detailed installation instructions are available on

officecommunity.com.

Step 3: Deploy SharePoint support

Workstations automatically receive SharePoint integration (and the

WordPerfect Office IFilter) when WordPerfect Office X8 is installed.

Deployment Guide

Stage 1: Preparing for deployment 5

If desired, you can deploy the following customized settings:

• disabling of WordPerfect toggle for displaying files in Internet

Explorer: Use the WPDVIEWLOCK public property (see page 17).

• home page for the Open File dialog box:

Use the HomePageURL registry key (see page 33).

To extend the SharePoint functions of WordPerfect — for example, to

automate multiple check-ins, multiple check-outs, or file-comparison

reports — you can use PerfectScript™ macros. The following

commands (fully detailed in the installed Macro Help file, psh.chm)

will be of interest.

Stage 2: Copying the DVD or extracting the ESD to the server 6

Stage 2: Copying the DVD or extracting the

ESD to the server

After preparing for deployment, you’re ready to copy (DVD) or extract

(ESD) media to the server.

You can modify certain aspects of the media you copied or extracted to

the server or its setup. If you want to support multiple installation

types, you can create multiple versions of the media you copied or

extracted to the server.

Finalizing media on the server

This section describes recommended steps to take before deploying

from the media copied to the server.

Optionally, you can finalize the media you copied or extracted to the

server in the following ways:

• Customize the registry settings you want to deploy (see page 32).

Applying patches To avoid deploying the software twice, you may want to check for

software updates and apply them as necessary. For details, see page 21.

Supporting OOXML You can deploy support for saving to Office Open XML (OOXML)

format from within WordPerfect Office X8.

To deploy support for saving to OOXML

1After copying the DVD or extracting the ESD content to the server,

open the <Language> folder.

2Create a new folder, and name it MSPack.

3In your browser, navigate to http://apps.corel.com/redirect/

command.asp?_redirect=command&function=download&app=CH

O&subfunction=ffc&lang=en and download the Microsoft Office

Compatibility Pack.

4Save FileFormatConverters.exe to the MSPack folder.

All future workstation installations from this location will

automatically allow users to save to the Microsoft 2007-2016 format.

Configuring BDE For WordPerfect and Quattro Pro® to function properly, you must

ensure that the network folder settings for the Borland® Database

Engine (BDE) point to a folder for which all users have write and

delete permissions.

Deployment Guide

Stage 2: Copying the DVD or extracting the ESD to the server 7

To adjust the Borland Database Engine

1Log on to the server console as an administrator.

2From the Windows Control Panel, open the BDE Administrator.

3Click the Configuration tab.

4Expand the Configuration tree, and navigate to the following:

Drivers\Native\PARADOX

5In the right pane, click the field to the right of the NET DIR entry.

6Click ..., and browse to the location of the desired network folder.

All users must have write and delete permissions for this folder.

7Click Object  Apply.

8Click OK to confirm the save, and then click OK again when you

are prompted to restart all Borland Database Engine applications.

Testing You may want to test on a small subset of workstations before rolling it

out to your entire organization.

Deployment Guide

Stage 3: Installing the software 8

Stage 3: Installing the software

After copying the contents of the DVD or extracting the ESD to the

server, you can use it to install the software on the workstations in one

of two ways:

• manually, by having users “pull” the software to their own

workstations

• automatically, by “pushing” the software to the workstations on their

users’ behalf

In this stage Pulling the software . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8

Pushing the software . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9

Pulling the software

If users have both access to the server and administrator-level rights to

their workstations, they can install (or “pull”) the software themselves.

To do this, they run the setup from the media you copied or extracted to

the server.

In this section Preparing for pull installation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8

Carrying out a pull installation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9

Preparing for pull installation

To ensure that the pull-installation process runs as smoothly as

possible, take the time to prepare for it.

Requirements • Confirm that each workstation meets the minimum requirements for

the software (see “Workstation requirements” on page 3).

• Confirm that each workstation user has read-only access to the media

you copied or extracted to the server and administrator-level access

to the workstation (see also “Workstation setup” on page 4).

Recommendations • Map the workstations to the media you copied or extracted to the

server, and set the workstations to log in to that server location at

startup. Doing so ensures that users are always connected this

content.

• Confirm that all workstations are running the latest version of

Microsoft Windows Installer. Doing so simplifies the installation

process.

Highlights:

Using switches. . . . . . . . .10

Using public properties . .12

Deployment Guide

Stage 3: Installing the software 9

Carrying out a pull installation

Users pull the software to their workstations by running the setup from

the media you copied or extracted to the server.

The degree of user interaction required by the setup depends on how

you’ve customized the media you copied or extracted to the server and

the deployment process.

If you prefer to restrict user customization, you may want to offer

multiple versions of the media you copied or extracted to the server —

one per set of installation options.

To pull the software to a workstation

1Browse to the location of the media you copied or extracted to the

server, and double-click Setup.exe.

2Carry out the installation, specifying any desired options, by

following the on-screen instructions.

For best results, limit the installation path to 70 characters.

Pushing the software

To “push” the software from the media you copied or extracted to the

server to the workstations, you must write a command line that includes

the following:

• the filename of the setup you want to use

• any desired switches, to control how the setup runs

• any desired public properties, to specify installation settings

Using this command line, you can install the software on the

workstations by using any supported push method.

Running your command line . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17

Specifying the setup file

The most important item to specify in your command line is the

executable file for the setup: the Setup.exe file on the server you want

to use:

\\server\path\Setup.exe

Deployment Guide

Stage 3: Installing the software 10

If your path contains spaces, you must place quotation marks around it:

"\\server\path containing spaces\Setup.exe"

If your network requires deployment via msiexec.exe instead of

Setup.exe, see page 35.

Using switches

By using switches in your command line, you can control the setup

process. Listed in this section are the switches most commonly used

when installing the software.

For a list of all command-line switches for Microsoft Windows

Installer, please see the Microsoft website.

/l Event logging

Use /l to log installation events.

The default parameters for /l are iwearmo (/liwearmo "c:\install

Logs.txt").

If you want to specify a path for the log file, use the following syntax:

/l "path"

If you do not specify a path and filename, the log file is created in the

current user’s temporary (Temp) folder.

Parameter What it logs

iStatus messages

wNonfatal warnings

eAll error messages

aInitiated actions

rAction-specific records

uUser requests

mError messages for out-of-memory warnings or fatal

exits

oError messages for insufficient hard-disk space during

server installation

pTerminal properties

*All of the above, in a single log file

NOTE: Alternatively to /l*, you can use /log.

vVery detailed information

Deployment Guide

Stage 3: Installing the software 11

In the following example, the /l switch (with default parameters) is

used to log installation events in the specified file:

\\server\path\Setup.exe /l "C:\install.txt"

/q Limited setup UI

Use /q to limit the amount of setup UI encountered during installation.

You can use /q to prevent users from entering their own registration

information, to help enforce specific installation options, or even to

perform silent installations (in which no setup UI is visible

whatsoever).

The default parameter for /q is n.

In the following example, all setup UI is suppressed, and any errors are

recorded in the specified log file:

\\server\path\Setup.exe /q /l "C:\Logs\My_Log.txt"

/? Help

The /? switch (or /help) displays Help for the setup.

Parameter What the user sees during installation

nNo UI whatsoever. Errors are logged in a file that you

can control by using /l (see page 10). This is the

default parameter.

NOTE: Alternatively to /qn, you can use /quiet.

bBasic UI: a progress bar and a Cancel button. If the

user pushes the Cancel button, the installation is

rolled back upon confirmation.

NOTE: Alternatively to /qb, you can use /passive.

b! Basic UI: only a progress bar. The user cannot cancel

the installation.

b+ Basic UI: a progress bar and a Cancel button. If the

user pushes the Cancel button, the installation is

rolled back (without first prompting for confirmation).

rReduced UI: A progress bar, along with a page

containing information about the installation. The user

can cancel the installation.

fFull UI

Updating the software

Corel periodically releases Microsoft patch (MSP) files — or

“patches” — for its products. Installing patches helps keep the

software up-to-date.

Deployment Guide

Stage 4: Maintaining the installations 22

If you want to centrally maintain updates, WordPerfect Office must be

installed using a corporate serial number and specify

ALLOW_PRODUCTUPDATES=0.

In this guide, Patch.exe is a placeholder for the filename of the patch.

The actual filename varies with each patch.

Locating patches

Many network administrators keep their software up-to-date by

monitoring the Corel Support Services website (www.corel.com/

support). When a patch is made available, these administrators

download it and carry out the patching process themselves.

In this guide, \\server\path\Patch.exe is a placeholder for the

location and filename of the downloaded patch.

Applying patches

After locating and downloading a patch, you can apply it to the media

you copied or extracted to the server and then use the updated media to

patch the installed software.

Patching You can apply a patch to the media you copied or extracted to the

server. Optionally, you can begin by extracting the patch files to a

specified location.

To extract the patch files to a specified location

To extract the patch files to a specified location (instead of the default

Temp folder), use the following command-line syntax:

\\server\path\Patch.exe /extract_all "location"

Be sure to apply all extracted patch files to the media you copied or

extracted to the server. Applying only some of the patch files may

cause the installations to function incorrectly.

To apply the patch files

Use a command line that includes the executable file for the patch and

the /a switch:

\\server\path\Patch.exe /a

If necessary, you can include the location of the media you copied or

extracted to the server:

\\server\path\Patch.exe /a

"\\server\path\Setup.exe"

Deployment Guide

Stage 4: Maintaining the installations 23

Workstation patching After patching the media you copied or extracted to the server, you can

deploy the update to the workstations.

To patch the workstations

Use the following command-line syntax:

\\server\path\Setup.exe REINSTALL=ALL

By default, the REINSTALLMODE=oums property is applied. For best

results, you may want to specify REINSTALLMODE=vdm:

\\server\path\Setup.exe REINSTALL=ALL

REINSTALLMODE=vdm

For details on REINSTALL (and REINSTALLMODE), see page 20.

To silently patch the workstations

Use the following command line:

\\server\path\Patch.exe /s

For best results, avoid silently patching the workstations.

Removing the software

You can remove the software from your network. Uninstalling the

software cleanly is crucial when the time comes to upgrade to a newer

version.

Removal of media from the

server

You cannot automate the removal of media you copied or extracted to

the server. Instead, you must manually delete it from the server.

For best results with deleting, begin by doing the following:

• Make sure that the programs to be removed — and their associated

files — are not currently in use on the workstations.

• If you are using Windows Terminal Server, make sure that all users

are logged off.

The only way to re-cover a deleted media is to re-create it by re-

running the setup.

Workstation removal You can remove a single installation of the software by using the

Windows Control Panel on that workstation, or you can remove

multiple workstation installations by using a command line.

Deployment Guide

Stage 4: Maintaining the installations 24

Removing a single installation

You can use the Windows Control Panel to remove a single installation.

To remove an installation with the Windows Control Panel

Windows 10 or Windows 8.1

Deploying specific features

When performing a basic or silent installation with the /q switch (see

page 11), you may want to use the ADDLOCAL property to specify

which software features to install. You can specify a single feature:

ADDLOCAL=Feature

Or you can specify a comma-separated list of components:

ADDLOCAL=Feature1,Feature2

You can even specify all features:

ADDLOCAL=ALL

If you want to install nearly all features, naming them individually

would be quite tedious. In this scenario, you can use the REMOVE public

property to specify the features to subtract from ADDLOCAL=ALL:

ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=Feature1,Feature2

Feature names are case-sensitive.

Specifying software features by feature name

You can specify individual WordPerfect Office X8 components by their

feature name.

Some editions of the software do not include certain features listed in

this section.

Feature names are case-sensitive.

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 27

Deploying macros and templates

Macros and templates make it easy to customize solutions for your

organization. You can customize a macro that carries out a set of

actions, assign that macro to a shortcut key, and save the macro and its

shortcut key to a template, so that users who work from that template

have access to the macro and its shortcut key.

If you want, you can make customized macros available to workstation

users by storing them in a template. In fact, you can store every macro

in the default template file (wp18$$.wpt, where $$ is the default

writing-tools language), and then deploy that default template file to

each user’s machine.

Template macros are not transferred to documents based on that

template. Consequently, template macros are available only when their

template is available, so it is important to choose a final location for a

template before you put it into active use.

WordPerfect Office X8 supports using a centralized, network-based

repository for storing your macros and templates. However, you can

deploy macros and templates if preferred.

Deployment methods You can deploy macros and templates as you would any other file:

• by running a specialized command line, such as with a push

technology (see page 9)

• by using an MST file (see page 31)

Installing macros and templates

At any point, users can install macros and templates to their

workstations.

Template macros set as read-only do not run properly.

Default items By default, WordPerfect Office installs macros and templates at the

following location (where X: is the drive where WordPerfect Office is

installed, and where $$ is the installation language):

X:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office X8\Languages\$$\

Template\Custom ProgramName templates

User-created items User-created macros and templates are stored at the following location

(where X: is the drive where the operating system is installed):

• Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7:

X:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Corel\PerfectExpert\18\

Language\Custom ProgramName Temp lates

If a new WordPerfect template doesn’t appear after it is installed to the

PerfectExpert or saved to the Custom WP Templates folder, you must

refresh the PerfectExpert.

To refresh the PerfectExpert

1In WordPerfect X8, click File  New from project.

2Click the Create new tab.

3Click Options, and then click Refresh projects.

If the new template still does not appear, try changing the category

from [WordPerfect] to Custom WP templates.

Migrating macros and templates

Macros and templates can be migrated from an earlier version of

WordPerfect.

Macro migration Most macros from a previous version of WordPerfect can be

recompiled to work in WordPerfect X8.

By default, warnings are not displayed for obsolete tokens because they

do not interfere with the functioning of most macros. You can choose to

display these warnings, however.

If you want to store your organization’s macros in a centralized

repository, you can set WordPerfect to compile and run all macros

locally (that is, from the user’s temporary folder). For details, see “To

specify how WordPerfect runs and compiles macros” in the

WordPerfect Help.

Deployment Guide

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 29

To manually migrate a macro

1Copy the macro to your template folder (if you haven’t already done

so).

2Start WordPerfect X8.

3Click Tools  Macro  Edit.

4Navigate to the macro, select it, and then click Edit.

5Click the end of the first line.

6Press the Spacebar, and then press Backspace.

7Click Save & compile.

The macro is recompiled for WordPerfect X8. Be sure to correct any

errors incurred — often, such errors result from updated or removed

commands.

To display warnings for obsolete tokens

1Click Start  Programs  WordPerfect Office X8  Utilities 

PerfectScript.

2In PerfectScript, click Tools  Settings.

3On the Compile page, enable the Warn when using unsupported

features check box.

4Click Apply, and then click OK.

Template migration Default templates — and most other templates — from previous

versions of WordPerfect can be migrated to WordPerfect X8.

Using a migrated template can prevent WordPerfect X8 from

displaying its new features. For best results, migrate only the desired

template components (toolbars, menus, keystroke assignments, and so

on).

When you open a template, WordPerfect checks whether the template

is missing default menu commands. You can merge missing menu

commands into a template by following the procedure “To merge

default menu commands into a template” in the WordPerfect Help.

To manually migrate template components

1Do one of the following:

• Copy the source templates to your template folder for 

WordPerfect Office X8, and then start WordPerfect X8.

•Start WordPerfect X8. Click Tools  Settings, and then click

Files. On the Templat e page, use the Additional template folder

box to specify the location of the source templates.

2Click Tools  Settings, and then click Customize.

3Click the tab for the template component you want to migrate.

Deployment Guide

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 30

4Click Copy, and then do the following:

•From the Templ ate t o copy from list box, choose the source

template.

•F

rom the Select toolbars to copy list, select the component to

migrate. Hold down CTRL to select multiple components.

•From the Tem plate to copy to list box, choose the target template.

(If you want, you can choose the default template.)

•Click OK.

You are prompted to rename a component if another component by

that name exists. To distinguish between similar components, you

may want to append version numbers to their names.

5To apply the new component, enable its check box.

6To migrate each additional component, repeat steps 3 to 5.

Migrating user settings

In push-installation scenarios, administrators can migrate users’

customized settings automatically (see page 15). In pull-installation

scenarios, users themselves can choose to migrate their settings.

QuickWords list Locate the QuickWords™ list file that belongs to the previous version,

and use it to replace the QuickWords list file for WordPerfect X8. The

QuickWords list file for WordPerfect X8 is saved at the following

location (where X: is the drive where Windows is installed and $$ is the

default writing-tools language).

• Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7:

X:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Corel\PerfectExpert\

18\Language\Custom WP Templates\QW18$$.WPT

QuickCorrect list Locate the QuickCorrect™ list file that belongs to the previous version,

and use it to replace the QuickCorrect list file for WordPerfect X8. The

QuickCorrect list file for WordPerfect X8 is saved at the following

location (where X: is the drive where Windows is installed and $$ is the

default writing-tools language).

• Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7:

X:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Corel\WordPerfect

Office X8\Writing Tools\WT18$$.UWL

Address Books First, export the Address Books from the previous version of

WordPerfect to an ABX (version 8) or TXT file format. Then, in

WordPerfect X8, create an empty Address Book and import the ABX

or TXT file into it.

Deployment Guide

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 31

Address Book records can contain hard returns. For example, this can

happen when there are two lines of the street address. If an Address

Book does not properly import from a text file, review the contents of

the file with a text editor, and remove any extraneous hard returns.

Working with MST files

If you want to apply a Microsoft transformation (MST) file to the setup,

simply apply it to your command line.

By default, MST files are applied to the Setup.msi file for the setup.

To apply a transformation to the setup

1Store the MST file in the location where you copied or extracted

media to the server.

2Use the TRANSFORMS property to specify that MST file, as shown

here (where MST is the filename of the MST file):

Setup.exe TRANSFORMS="MST"

If the MST file is not in the same folder as Setup.exe, MST must specify

the full path and filename of the MST file.

Applying a transformation to a specific MSI file

To apply an MST file to a specific MSI file, use the following syntax

(where MSI is the filename of the MSI file, not including its extension;

and where MST is the filename of the MST file, including its extension):

Setup.exe TRANSFORMS_MSI="MST"

If the MST file is not in the same folder as the MSI file, MST must

specify the full path and filename of the MST file.

Example 1 To apply my_wp.mst to WP.msi (in the same folder), use the following

syntax:

Setup.exe TRANSFORMS_WP="my_wp.mst"

Example 2 To apply MyTransform.mst to ENPExp.msi (in the same folder), use

the following syntax:

Setup.exe TRANSFORMS_ENPExp="MyTransform.mst"

Troubleshooting MST files

If you have trouble applying an MST file, do the following:

Deployment Guide

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 32

• Check the syntax of your command line — in particular, the path to

the MST file.

• Check your permissions.

• Make sure that the MST file was created correctly.

• Check the associated MSI files.

For additional help with MST files, contact Corel Support Services

(www.corel.com/support). Please note, however, that charges will

apply.

Working with registry keys

After copying or extracting media to the server, you may want to edit

its registry keys for deployment to the workstations. By doing so, you

can avoid having to manually configure the registry keys of each

individual workstation installation of the software.

Deploying program defaults

When a workstation user first starts a WordPerfect Office X8 program,

settings for that program are pushed from

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry keys to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys for that user. If you want to mandate

the default program settings for all workstation users, you can deploy

the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry keys for those settings.

You can use a local installation of WordPerfect Office X8 to determine

which HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry keys are affected by a

specific program setting. Open the program, and specify the setting that

you want to deploy to the workstations. This setting is saved as a value

for a specific registry key at the following location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\ProgramName\18

To deploy this program setting to all workstation users, apply it to the

registry file (or MSI table) for the media you copied or extracted to the

server as a value for the corresponding HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

registry key at the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel\Setup\

WordPerfect Suite\18\Migrate\Software\Corel\ProgramName\18

The method described in this section can be used to deploy almost any

registry key for WordPerfect Office X8. Two common examples

follow.

For best results, do not use this method to deploy file paths.

Deployment Guide

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 33

Shadow Cursor setting The Shadow Cursor setting for WordPerfect is stored at the following

location for each workstation user:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\WordPerfect\18\

Shadow Cursor

To deploy the same Shadow Cursor setting to each user, you must copy

the value of the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry key for that

setting ("Shadow Cursor State"=setting) to the following

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key for the media you copied

or extracted to the server:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel\Setup\

WordPerfect Suite\18\Migrate\Software\Corel\

WordPerfect\18\Shadow Cursor

Open File home page The Web Mode view of the Open file dialog box can be customized to

use a specified folder as its home page. Users can specify this home

page by clicking the Web mode icon in the Open file dialog box,

browsing to the desired folder, and clicking Internet  Set home page.

This home-page setting is stored as a value

("HomePageURL"="URL") of the following registry key for each

user:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\PerfectFit\18\

Virtual Namespaces\:Internet

Specify the HomePageURL value for the following registry key for

the for the media you copied or extracted to the server:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel\Setup\

WordPerfect Suite\18\Migrate\Software\Corel\

PerfectFit\18\Virtual Namespaces\:Internet

Migrating installed files to

the user profile

You can deploy a customized default template, QuickWords list, or

QuickCorrect list by creating a registry key at:

• (32-bit version)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel\WordPerfect\

18\EN\FileMigration

• (64-bit version)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\

Corel\WordPerfect\18\EN\FileMigration

In the FileMigration folder, you must create a key for each pair of

source folders and destination folders. When you name them, use a

name that describes the file’s purpose. The following string values must

exist within this registry key:

•SOURCEPATH — the files’ source path

•DESTINATIONPATH — the files’ destination path. You can use

variables such as $APPDATA$ and $PERSONAL$

Deployment Guide

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 34

When naming, you must follow the following syntax: FILE_01,

FILE_02, FILE_03, and so on. It is important the filenames are

sequential with no breaks in the

Deploying customized installation settings

To modify the settings used to install the software on the workstations,

you can create an XML file and name it Persist.xml.

XML lines must be inside <ICA> </ICA> and 

<PROPERTIES> </PROPERTIES> tags. Otherwise, the Persist.xml

file is ignored by setup.

Each entry you add to Persist.xml must correspond to a public property

for the software (see page 12). The syntax of each entry should be as

follows:

<Property name="property" value="value" />

By modifying the value of an existing entry in Persist.xml — or by

adding a new entry — you can customize the installation settings

deployed from the media you copied or extracted to the server. This

deployment method offers an excellent alternative to customizing a

command line.

Example 1 The following Persist.xml entry would specify that automatic software

updates are enabled:

<Property name="ALLOW_PRODUCTUPDATES" value="1" />

By changing the value of this entry from "1" to "0" (and saving this

change to Persist.xml), you can disable automatic updates for the

workstation installations.

Example 2 The following Persist.xml entry would specify the serial number for

the installation:

<Property name="SERIALNUMBER" value="SN" />

By changing the "SN"value, you can specify a different serial number

for the workstation installations.

Example 3 The following Persist.xml entry would specify that WordPerfect Office

is installed with updates disabled:

<ICA><Properties><Property

name="ICA.PropertyPresistFile.Created" value="04/

15/16 11:13:59"/><Property name="SERIALNUMBER"

value=" WP18C22-XXXXXXX-YYYYYYY-ZZZZZZZ "/

><Property name="ALLOW_PRODUCTUPDATES" value="0"/

></Properties></ICA>

Deployment Guide

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 35

Deploying the software with msiexec.exe

Alternatively to using Setup.exe, you can deploy the software by using

msiexec.exe — a Microsoft Windows Installer file provided by the

Windows operating system. In fact, you must use msiexec.exe if you

want to interact directly with the MSI files, such as in the following

scenarios:

• if you want to use the Setup.msi file, rather than a start-up script, to

install the software by using a Group Policy Object

• if you want to use the Setup.msi file to create packages for use with

Novell ZENworks Desktop Management

Command-line syntax As with Setup.exe, you use msiexec.exe to create command lines that

perform a setup-related function. A msiexec.exe command line

requires the following items:

• a switch that signals the desired action: installing (/i), repairing (/

f), or removing (/x) the software

• the location and name of the desired MSI file: typically, Setup.msi

(located on the installation disc or the media you copied or extracted

to the server).

• any desired public properties

• any desired switches, as specified by the

CHAINER_CMD="switches" public property (multiple switches are

separated by a space)

For example, the following msiexec.exe command line uses the file

\\server\WPO18\Setup.msi to install the software while displaying the

full user interface:

msiexec.exe /i "\\server\WPO\Setup.msi"

ADDLOCAL="ALL" CHAINER_CMD="/qf"

MST files As previously explained (see page 31), you can use the TRANSFORMS

public property to apply an MST file to the setup. By default, all MST

files are applied to the Setup.msi file. If you want to apply an MST file

to a different MSI file, you must use the following syntax (where MSI

is the filename of the MSI file, not including its extension; and where

MST is the filename of the MST file, including its extension):

TRANSFORMS_MSI="MST"

If the MST file is not in the same folder as the MSI file, MST must

specify the full path and filename of the MST file.

Deployment Guide

Appendix: Specialized deployment scenarios 36

For example, the following msiexec.exe command line uses the file

\\server\WPO\Setup.msi to install the software silently, applies the

transformation my_wp.mst to WP.msi (in the same folder), and

applies the transformation my_qp.mst to QP.msi (in the same folder):

msiexec.exe /i "\\server\WPO\Setup.msi"

ADDLOCAL="ALL" CHAINER_CMD="/qn"

TRANSFORMS_WP="my_wp.mst"

TRANSFORMS_QP="my_qp.mst"

Deploying Paradox 37

Deploying Paradox

You can make Paradox available on the workstations only if it is

included in your version of WordPerfect Office. However, please note

that the process for deploying Paradox is separate from the process for

deploying WordPerfect Office.

You can deploy Paradox regardless of whether you’re deploying

WordPerfect Office. However, if you want to deploy both, you must

deploy WordPerfect Office first and Paradox second.

For an overview of the deployment process for WordPerfect Office,

please see “Stage 1: Preparing for deployment” on page 2.

Copying or extracting the media for Paradox

The process for copying or extracting media for Paradox is similar to

the process for WordPerfect Office. Follow the procedures given on

page 6, but be sure to use the Paradox setup rather than the one for

WordPerfect Office.

Deploying Paradox to the workstations

The process for deploying Paradox to the workstations is similar to the

process for deploying WordPerfect Office — just be sure to use the

Paradox installation files rather than the ones for WordPerfect Office.

Default installation files are provided with the Paradox setup.

If you want to specify individual features in your command line, see

“Paradox command-line features” on page 38.

For information on pulling software to the workstations, see “Pulling

the software” on page 8.

For information on pushing software to the workstations, see “Pushing

the software” on page 9.

Optimizing the installed software

To optimize the installed software, you must refresh the New from

project template list in PerfectExpert.

In addition, in order for Paradox to function properly, you must ensure

that the network-folder settings for Borland Database Engine points to

a folder for which all users have write and delete permissions.
