Installing the ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK Library
The first step of distribution of applications using the ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK library is installation of the application and the ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK library on the local disk of the workstation.
After installing your application on a workstation, you should install the ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK library.
Prerequisites
On the workstation, Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher should be installed:
The following registry branches should be accessible from the workstation:
- "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ABBYY\SDK\12\FlexiCapture SDK" — full control
- "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ABBYY\SDK\12" — full control for installation only
- "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ABBYY\SDK\12" — full control for installation only
The following folders should be accessible from the workstation:
- Folder with ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK binary files — access for reading
- %TEMP% folder — full control access
- folder %ProgramData%\ABBYY\FCSDK\12\FlexiCapture SDK – full control access;
- folder %ProgramData%\ABBYY\FCSDK\12\Licenses – full control access
Important! Never redistribute the files with ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK API description (FCEngine.h, FCEngine_i.c).
Installation
Runtime installation works from command line in silent mode. Run the ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK 12 Runtime (x64).exe file from the installation DVD-ROM with the command line options described below.
Option | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|
INSTALLDIR="<destination path>" |
The path to the folder where the ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK library will be installed. Important! This parameter is required. |
|
DeinstallRuntime=Yes | No | No | Specifies if the existing runtime installation of the library must be uninstalled. |
OFFICECONVERTERS=Yes | No | No | Specifies if the modules for working with Office document formats should be installed. |
PDF=Yes | No | Yes | Specifies whether the modules for PDF opening should be installed. |
WIBUDR=Yes | No | No | Specifies whether hardware key drivers (CodeMeter) must be installed. |
LICENSESRV=Yes | No | Yes |
Specifies whether Licensing Service must be installed. If WIBUDR=Yes, the Licensing Service is installed automatically and cannot be excluded from the installation. The Licensing Service is installed into the %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Common Files\ABBYY\FCSDK\12\Licensing folder. Important! Licensing Service is required for working with ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK library, and for correct installation you must do one of the following:
|
SERVERNAME=<the DNS name or IP address> | The DNS name or IP address of the computer where the Licensing Service is installed. | |
RegisterCOM=Yes | No | Force | Yes |
Specifies whether the COM wrappers should be registered. The registration is performed by calling the DllRegisterServer function from FCEngine.dll. If the library is already registered with the different path:
|
/v | Indicates the beginning of the list of installation parameters. | |
/q | Silent mode. This is mandatory option because the runtime installation can be performed only in silent mode. Use the /qb option if you want a progress bar to be displayed during the installation. No other dialog boxes will be displayed. |
Note: When you use silent mode, the /q option must precede the /v option, for example: "ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK 12 Runtime (x64).exe" /q /v or "ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK 12 Runtime (x64).exe" /qb /v
For example
"ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK 12 Runtime (x64).exe" /q /v WIBUDR=Yes INSTALLDIR="C:\MyFolder"
This command line will install (in silent mode) ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK into the C:\MyFolder folder. The hardware key drivers will be installed.
"ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK 12 Runtime (x64).exe" /qb /v INSTALLDIR="C:\MyFolder"
This command line will install (in silent mode) all library modules into the C:\MyFolder folder, a progress bar will be displayed.
"ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK 12 Runtime (x64).exe" /q /v SERVERNAME=MyServer INSTALLDIR="C:\MyFolder" LICENSESRV=No
This command line will install all library modules into the C:\MyFolder folder in silent mode. License Service will not be installed and ABBYY FlexiCapture SDK will be configured to use Network Licenses from the server located on the MyServer computer.
