NVivo 10 for Windows

This topic describes how to deploy NVivo 10 Windows using Citrix

NVivo 10 Windows Service Pack 2 (or later) allows users to work with YouTube videos (collected with NCapture). To play YouTube videos, users need to have Adobe FlashPlayer 11 and Internet Explorer 8 (or later).

NVivo 10 Windows Service Pack 5 (or later) provides streamlined import from Evernote. To support the import of audio files from Evernote, QuickTime Player 7 (a 32-bit component) is now required for both 32- and 64-bit versions of NVivo 10 Windows.

NOTE  This topic has not yet been updated to include installation of QuickTime for the 64-bit  version of NVivo 10 for Windows.

Citrix

The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of NVivo 10 Windows have been tested, on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, running Citrix

If you choose to publish NVivo 10 Windows on Citrix

  • Purchase an enterprise license for NVivo—this means you only need to use one license key to activate NVivo for all the users in your site. For more information, refer to Understand licensing for NVivo.

  • On Windows Server 2008 or later, Windows Media Player is disabled by default. However, if users would like to work with audio and video formats in NVivo 10, you may need to turn on ‘Desktop Experience’ on the server via the Windows Server 2008 Server Manager.

Process for deploying NVivo 10 Windows using Citrix

The overall process for deploying NVivo using Citrix

  1. Extract the NVivo 10 for Windows  program files

  2. Install NVivo 10 for Windows on the XenApp Server

  3. Enter and activate your license

  4. Publish NVivo 10 for Windows as an application in XenApp

NOTE Your users may also want to use NCapture—a free web browser extension that enables users to gather material from the web to import into NVivo 10 Windows (or later). We recommend that you install NCapture on the client computers rather than the XenApp server.

Extract the NVivo 10 Windows program files

NVivo needs the following prerequisite software which is included in the NVivo installer.

  • Windows Installer 4.5

  • Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Express Edition

  • QuickTime Player 7 (for 32-bit only)

  • Windows Media Player 11

  • Adobe Flash Player 11 (NVivo 10 Windows Service Pack 2 or later)

If you plan to store the data centrally using NVivo Server, you do not need to install the SQL Server Express component that is bundled in the NVivo installer.

If the prerequisite software is already installed on your XenApp server, you do not need to install them again. If your users will not be working with audio or video files, then you do not need to install QuickTime Player or Windows Media Player. You can extract the files from the NVivo installer so that you can install only the software that you need. If you need any of the prerequisite software, you can download it—refer toSoftware download locationsfor more information.

The MSI file and application files can be extracted from the NVivo 10 installer using one of the commands below. This creates a number of folders containing application files along with the QSR NVivo 10.msi file.

  • For 32-bit installations, use: NVivo10.x86.exe /a

  • For 64-bit installations, use: NVivo10.x64.exe /a
