You can deploy Dragon Medical One by using the following options:

For information about how to deploy Dragon Medical One in a virtual desktop or application environment, see Deploying in a virtual environment.

Deployment recommendations

  • Make sure you're deploying the latest version of Dragon Medical One. You can get the latest version at the Dragon Medical One Resource Center. For more information, contact Nuance Technical Support or your Nuance account executive.

  • Use endpoint protection and vulnerability scanning tools to ensure you deploy Dragon Medical One to a secure and controlled environment.

  • Deploy Dragon Medical One to a local folder. During runtime, Dragon Medical One frequently accesses files that are part of the deployment. Loading those files from a network share would severely affect performance.

  • Make sure the app configuration file has the same version as the app. Don't use an old configuration file when you update to a newer version of Dragon Medical One. You can find the version number in the first line of the app configuration file.

To keep your customized settings after an upgrade, save the existing app configuration file before you upgrade and then manually transfer the respective settings. Or, create an XML file containing your customized settings and start Dragon Medical One from the command line, specifying the path to this XML file via the config parameter. For more information, see: Providing different configurations for a single standalone deployment.

The Windows Installer

The MSI package provided is command line-only. No installation wizard is available.

To customize the installation, set all mandatory parameters and any optional parameters you want. Or, use the CONFIGTEMPLATE parameter to deploy a configuration file containing all relevant settings. This option is recommended. Use double quotes for parameter values.

By default, application binaries are installed to the following location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nuance\Dragon Medical One 2023.

Dragon Medical One isn't automatically added to the Microsoft Windows Start menu. To add it manually, use the SoD.exe file.

To support uninstallation, an entry is automatically created in the Control Panel, Programs and Features window.

Dragon Medical One doesn't update automatically. The latest version is available at the Dragon Medical One Resource Center. For more information, contact Nuance Technical Support or your Nuance account executive.
