Once you complete the installation in d.velop software manager, the setup files for installing the DGIX viewer locally are created automatically. The default location for the setup files is in the folders <installation path>\dgi2eml and <installation path>\dgi2html. The steps for installing the DGIX viewers DGI2HTML and DGI2EML are the same. Since both DGIX viewers are registered for the file extension *.dgix, the most recent DGIX viewer installed always opens. Choose one of the two viewers.
Let’s assume you want to install the DGIX viewer using AD software distribution.
This is how it works
Create a new folder in the domain controller (e.g. <installation path>\Software distribution.
Copy the setup file for the DGIX viewer and add the file to the new folder.
Share the folder.
Grant read access to the folder to every user.
You then have to create a security group with a group policy and create the new MSI package with the DGIX viewer setup.
If you have created a security group for the MSI package setup, you must define a group policy for the group in the domain controller.
This is how it works
Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Group Policy Management.
Select the domain.
Select Action > Create a GPO in this domain, and link it here.
Enter a name for the group policy.
Select the created policy.
Enter the created group under Security Filtering and save your entries.
You then have to create the new MSI package with the DGIX viewer setup.
To distribute the MSI package software, you must create a new security group containing the users for Active Directory software distribution.
This is how it works
Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
Select the domain.
Choose Action > New > Group to create a new group.
Enter a name for the security group under Group name.
Under Group scope, select the option Global.
Under Group type, select the option Security. Save your entries.
You then have to create a group policy and the new MSI package with the DGIX viewer setup.
If you have created a security group and a group policy for a group of users, you must create a new software package for the MSI package setup in the Group Policy Management Editor.
This is how it works
Select the created group policy in Group Policy Management.
Click Action > Edit to open the Group Policy Management Editor.
Click User configuration > Policies > Software Settings > Software Installation to select the software installation.
Click Action > New > Package to add the setup. It must be possible to reference all the packages as UNC paths.
Select the package and open the package properties.
Go to the Software Deployment tab.
Under Deployment type, select the option Assigned.
Under Deployment options, select the options Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management and Install this application at logon.
Under Installation user interface options, select Basic.
Log into the client PC again.
If you have installed the DGIX viewer using AD software distribution, you can find the DGIX viewer in the Control Panel under Programs and Features after restarting.
If the entry is not displayed, enter the command gpupdate /force in the command prompt. Then restart the client PCs.
