Installer Options and MSI

The PingPlotter install is MSI-based, and wrapped with a bootstrap that helps do upgrades.

Normally, the best way to install PingPlotter is just to launch the installer by downloading and double-clicking.

In some cases, though (particularly for deployment to multiple computers), it may be helpful to change the way PingPlotter is installed.

The bootstrap has several options to extract the MSI, log the install to file, debug, etc. To see the options, launch the installer from a command line and pass it a /? parameter - this will list the parameters that can be used.

License Entry

PingPlotter license are stored in the registry in the following location:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Pingman Tools\PingPlotter\User]

"UserName"="Your Username"

"RegistrationCode"="Your License Key"

If you need to automate license key entry, you can write these values into the registry.

*** 64 bit windows warning *** - Since PingPlotter is 32 bit application, on a 64 bit machine, this needs to be written to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Pingman Tools\PingPlotter\User]
