You can use BimSens installer to deploy it to your machine:

  • Download the installer from the download page
  • double click the installer BimSens X.X.X.X Setup.exe where X.X.X.X is the version you want to install


 ADMIN RIGHTS


You may need Administrator rights to run the installer.


  • Click Next and In the Select Components window, select the components to install or choose one of the predefined installation package
  • Click Next until the end

Once installed you can choose to run the standalone version of BimSens (no 3D viewer).

You will need a licence file or to connect to a server to run BimSens

Installation Options

To control the installation behaviour the installer can be run with switches as defined here http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setupcmdline

In particular you may be interested in switches /SILENT, /VERYSILENT and /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES to deploy installation silently to users.

In addition to the standard switches, you can use extra (optional) parameters to save your users some trouble:

  • /serverurl="your server address" to set the environment variable that defines the licence server location. Default is blank
  • /licenceDefaultType=Viewer|Author|Admin to set the licence type to get from the server when none was previously set by the user. Default is none, i.e. the user need to explicitly pick one
  • /licenceOverrideUserType=True|False to force the /licenceDefaultType to be restored when the user open a new session of BimSens, regardless of the last type used. Default is False

BimSens In 3D Viewers

Each 3D viewer can have a specific installation procedure.
