When deploying with SCCM, you will create an Application with the MSI as the deployment type. The installation program field should contain the same msiexec command line as above. A common issue is handling the separate ActivDriver installation. Ensure the ActivInspire MSI does not have the ActivDriver as a dependency if you plan to install it separately with its own silent parameters.

: Deployment is typically handled via batch scripts that install the driver first, followed by the main application and finally the resource packs to ensure all dependencies are met. Troubleshooting Common Issues

Should you ever need to remove the software cleanly from your network, use the following silent uninstall command string: msiexec.exe /x PRODUCT_GUID_HERE /qn /norestart Use code with caution.

For newer versions of ActivInspire, licensing files are commonly dropped into the shared program data directory. You can package a simple batch file or PowerShell script that copies your enterprise aststudio.lic file directly to: C:\ProgramData\ActivSoftware\ActivInspire\App_Data\ Silent Uninstallation

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "C:\Logs"

Right-click, select New -> Package , and choose the .msi file from the network share.

For IT admins, silent installs are critical for:

Create a Network Share (e.g., \\Server\Share\ActivInspire ) and place the MSI file there. In Group Policy Management, create a new GPO.

The main file you will use for silent installation will be something like ActivInspire.msi . The exact name may vary by version.

: Instructs ActivInspire to run its background file import tool.

You can pre-configure options, such as skipping the registration screen or setting default paths, using public properties ( PROPERTY=VALUE ).

Disclaimer: This information is based on standard MSI deployment techniques and common practices for ActivInspire as of May 2026. Always test deployment in a sandbox environment before pushing to production. If you have specific issues, please tell me: Which version of ActivInspire are you installing? Are you using SCCM, GPO, or a different deployment tool? What errors are you seeing in the logs?

To avoid teachers seeing a license prompt on the first launch, you can pre-configure the installation: License File: .inspire_license.xml

Check these locations:

The most common silent install issue is licensing prompts on first launch. Suppress this by placing a pre-filled license file named .inspire_licence.xml in the same folder as your installer. The file must contain School_Name , School_Trust_Name , and your Product_Serial_Number .
