ActivInspire relies on several system dependencies to function correctly. Ensure your target machines already have the following installed, or bundle them into your deployment pipeline: Microsoft .NET Framework (v4.x or later) Visual C++ Redistributable Packages
Deploying software manually across hundreds of school or corporate computers is a massive drain on IT resources. For system administrators managing Promethean interactive displays, automating the installation of the flagship presentation software is essential.
In your deployment script (SCCM, Intune, or a batch file), copy this file to the exact same directory on the target machines after the MSI installation finishes. Sample Batch Script Snippet:
For the , use: msiexec.exe /x PRODUCT-GUID-HERE /qn /norestart
Your Promethean activation code for the professional edition. activinspire silent install
Before beginning a silent deployment, ensure the following:
The installation script is running without elevated local administrator privileges.
SCCM will automatically import the MSI product code and generate a default quiet installation command string ( msiexec /i "ActivInspire.msi" /q ).

Ensure ActivDriver.msi is bundled and installed sequentially before ActivInspire launches. Enabling MSI Logging
The /s suppresses the bootstrapper UI, and /v" /qn" passes the quiet argument to the internal MSI.
msiexec.exe /i "ActivInspire_Core_Resources.msi" /qn /norestart Use code with caution. 5. Licensing via Command Line
Right-click, select New -> Package , and choose the .msi file from the network share. SCCM will automatically import the MSI product code
Once you have the MSI files, use the following commands for a silent installation via Command Prompt or deployment tools like SCCM/MDT: EduGeek.net Main Application: msiexec.exe /i "ActivInspire.msi" /qn /norestart Core Resources: msiexec.exe /i "ActivInspireMainRes.msi" /qn /norestart Drivers (if required): msiexec.exe /i "bc016a.msi" /qn /norestart EduGeek.net Command Switches Breakdown: deploy activinspire via mdt | Promethean Direct Support
The MSI package is natively built for silent switches and handles network parameters much better than the standard executable.
Follow the prompts to select a destination folder. This will unpack the installer into three separate MSIs: ActivInspire Core Resources Help Files Promethean Support 2. Generate the License File (Optional but Recommended)
