Installing Clinical, Pracsoft, and MDref Updates Automatically

Update Clinical, Pracsoft, or MDref without monitoring the Installation Wizard or intervening directly.

Updates to Clinical, Pracsoft, and MDref must always be installed by administrators. The updates can be installed automatically in a networked environment, without the administrators needing to wait for and acknowledge the Installation Wizard or intervene directly. There are three ways to do this:

  • Launch the update on each computer in turn with the preferred parameter. Return later to check the results.
  • Initiate RDP sessions to each computer, then launch the update with the preferred parameter. Log in later to check the results.
  • Schedule the update to run under a logged-in Administrator user. (See Installing Updates Automatically with Windows Scheduler.) Check the results next day.
Note:
If you run the installation from a network location, you might encounter an application failure alert generated by Microsoft Dot Net. To overcome this problem, download and install Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1, or run the installation from a local drive.
