Installing prerequisites

This Technical Note is for system administrators who need to silently or batch install Granta Selector on their users’ machines using command prompts.

Before attempting to install Granta Selector through the command line, you must first install the following.

  • Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.8
  • Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1

If they are not installed:

  1. Create a layout using the main Granta Selector installer

    Enter the following into the command line:

    selector_setup.2024R2.exe /layout <layout-folder>

    The redist folder in <layout-folder> contains installers for the three pre-requisites, plus language packs for .NET Framework and Report Viewer.

  2. Install Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.8 (if required)

    From the command line, run:

    ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe /install /quiet
  3. Install the Visual C++ Redistributable (if required)

    From the command line, run:

    VC_redist.x86.exe /install /quiet
VC_redist.x64.exe /install /quiet
