MindView 9 for Windows – MSI Installation & Deployment Guide
Overview
MindView 9 uses standard Microsoft Windows® Installer (MSI) technology and is available as a 64-bit package only, requiring a 64-bit Windows operating system.
- Administrator privileges are required for installation
- The installer may include multiple languages. The selected installation language becomes the default user interface language
Administrative & Network Deployment
IT administrators can deploy MindView across a network using one of the following methods:
- Administrative installation (creates a network deployment source)
- Extracting the MSI package from the .exe installer
Once prepared, MindView can be deployed using:
- Group Policy (GPO)
- Endpoint management tools (e.g. SCCM, Intune)
Creating an Administrative Installation
An administrative installation creates a full source image of MindView for network deployment.
Steps:
- Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog
- Click Browse and locate the MindView installer
- Add the /a parameter to the command
Example:
C:\downloaded files\mindview9_<build>.exe /a
- Click OK to launch the Administrative Installation Wizard
