Deploy Airmedia Sender Applications To Pcs; Windows - Crestron AM-200 Deployment Manual

Deploy AirMedia Sender Applications to PCs

While PC users can download the sender application for their operating system from an
AirMedia device, IT departments can also deploy the sender application to PCs across
the enterprise.

Windows

Enterprises require both flexibility and control of the installation options of any
application, particularly when mass deployment is required. The AirMedia Deployable
application Windows installer is a Microsoft® Software Installer (.msi) file that provides
the necessary means to control installations in such environments.
The AirMedia Windows Deployable Application is available at
from the corresponding AirMedia product page.
NOTE: A login for the Crestron website is required to access the deployable application
from the product page.
NOTE: The AirMedia deployable application does not automatically update itself. To
update the application, uninstall any previous version of the application and install the
latest version using the method below. An account with administrative privileges must
be used during installation, or correct installation will not occur.
The Windows installer can be run using either of the following methods:
Through Microsoft Group Policy for mass deployment
•
Through the Windows command line.
•
Administrators can set up a Group Policy Object (GPO) to script the installation
•
to use the next time the user logs into their Windows system. The default
behavior of executing the .msi file without any command line options is to do the
following:
Install the application in its default location (C:\Program Files
•
(x86)\Crestron\AirMediaV2)
Install desktop and Start menu shortcut icons
•
Start automatically
•
End users installing the application for the first time without any options are
•
immediately presented with the connection information entry dialog after
installation.
To use the installer with command line options, the "msiexec" function must be used in
conjunction with the .msi file as specified below.
NOTE: If the .msi file is executed without using the msiexec application as shown, no
options will be respected at the command line, and the sender application will silently
install and present the connection window for entry of IP address or host names.
