If so, you can install the correct Visual C++ Redistributable package from Microsoft via this link.
Customized Installs
Each of the Installers are customizable during installation by including a settings file (default setup.ini).
Settings file options
Below is a full list of options available within the settings file. All options listed below are optional.
| Option Name | Description | Installation Mode |
| ProductName |
<Custom name of product>
|
|
| ProductVersion |
<Custom version name>
|
|
| ProductLogo | <Full path to custom product logo> | for GUI mode |
| ProductIcon | <Full path to custom product icon> | for Windows install |
| ShowLicense | <yes or no> | for custom license agreements in GUI and commandline modes |
| LicenseFile | <Full path to custom license agreement text file> | for GUI and commandline modes |
| InstallDir | <Full path to the intended installation folder> |
Default: All Others: |
| Modules | <Modules to install> | for silent mode |
| Samples | <Samples to install> | for silent mode |
| SampleData | <yes or no> | for silent mode |
Here are some tips on using the settings file:
- To create a company specific license for graphical and command line installations, add a license text file, set LicenseFile to the location of the file, set ShowLicense to yes, and it will be added to the installation.
- Adding the path of a logo to ProductLogo will add a customized logo to a graphical installation
- In Windows installations, adding the path of an icon to ProductIcon will add this icon to the start menu shortcuts.
- For silent mode, Modules is a list of module names. Options are Java, .Net, Batch, Demo, InstallManager, Node, Central, and All. C++ will always be installed and is therefore not an option.
- For silent mode, Samples is a list of sample names. Options are C++, Java, .Net, Batch, and All
- For silent mode, SampleData determines whether sample US data is installed.
The below table shows examples of the settings file.
| Installation Mode | Sample Setting File |
| Linux GUI/commandline install | ProductName=Loqate ProductVersion=2012Q1 ProductLogo=/home/user/logo.png ShowLicense=Yes LicenseFile=/home/user/license.txt InstallDir=/opt/loqate |
| Windows GUI install | ProductName=Loqate ProductVersion=2012Q1 ProductLogo=C:\Users\user\logo.png ProductIcon=C:\Users\user\icon.ico ShowLicense=Yes LicenseFile=C:\Users\user\license.txt InstallDir=C:\Loqate |
| Linux silent install | InstallDir=/opt/loqate Modules=Java, Batch, InstallManager Samples=C++, Java, Batch SampleData=Yes |
| Windows silent install | InstallDir=C:\Loqate Modules=Java, Batch, InstallManager Samples=C++, Java, Batch SampleData=Yes |
Graphical, Console, or Silent Installations
The Windows and Linux installers can be run in a graphical or silent mode; the settings file is optional in these modes.
The settings file is specified by the −−setup-file option. If no settings file is specified, the installer will look for a file named setup.ini in the same folder as the installer. If no such file exists, the installer will run with no settings file.
Running in silent mode with no settings file will default to the following options to be selected:
InstallDir=C:\Program Files\Loqate for Windows, InstallDir=/opt/loqate otherwise
Modules=all
Samples=all
SampleData=yes
