How to Silently Deploy the Dolphin EasyReader MSI Package

Command-line installation instructions for deploying Dolphin EasyReader across multiple devices with no user interaction

 Overview

Dolphin EasyReader can be silently deployed across networks using standard Microsoft MSI installation commands, removing the need to manually install the application on each device.

All MSI packages included within the EasyReader offline installation package support silent deployment using the following parameters:

 
/quiet /qn /norestart
 
 

These switches allow the installation to complete without displaying user prompts or requiring user interaction.

Silent Installation Commands

To silently install EasyReader, use the following command:

 
MSIEXEC /i "<Path to Offline package>\EasyReader.msi" /quiet /qn
 
 

Command Parameters:

  • /i – Installs the specified MSI package.
  • /quiet – Runs the installation in silent mode.
  • /qn – Suppresses the installation user interface.
  • /norestart – Prevents the installer from automatically restarting the device.

Example Batch File

The following example can be used within a deployment script or software distribution solution such as Microsoft Intune, Configuration Manager (SCCM), PDQ Deploy, or Group Policy.

 
@echo off

REM Install EasyReader
MSIEXEC /i "<Path to Offline package>\EasyReader.msi" /quiet /qn /norestart
 
 

Replace <Path to Offline package> with the location of the EasyReader installation files.

Example:

 
MSIEXEC /i "\\FileServer\Software\EasyReader\EasyReader.msi" /quiet /qn /norestart
 
 

Prerequisites

Important: Dolphin EasyReader requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017–2026 to be installed before launching the application.

If the Visual C++ Redistributable is not present:

  • EasyReader may fail to start.
  • The application may not function correctly after installation.
  • Users may experience application launch errors.

It is recommended to deploy the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable as part of your deployment process before installing EasyReader.

Additional Notes

  • Silent deployment is suitable for enterprise-wide software rollouts.
  • The installation can be distributed through endpoint management and software deployment platforms.
  • No user interaction is required when using the recommended MSIEXEC parameters.
  • A device restart is not enforced when using the /norestart switch.
