Pass command-line options to the Advanced Designer installer to customize a deployment. These options require administrator permissions and apply to the standard installer described in Install and run Advanced Designer. To use any of the options below, open a command prompt, change to the folder that contains Vantage.Advanced.Designer.exe, and run the installer with the option appended. Multiple options can be combined in a single command.

​
PerMachine — install for all users

Controls whether Advanced Designer is available to every user on the machine (1) or only the current user (0, the default). To install for all users, run:
This installs Advanced Designer to C:\Program Files\ABBYY\Vantage instead of the default per-user location (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\ABBYY\Vantage).

​
InstallFolder — custom installation path

Specifies a custom installation path. The folder is created if it does not exist.
InstallFolder can only be used together with PerMachine=1.

​
InstallRuntime — skip the C++ Redistributable

Controls whether the bundled C++ Redistributable component is installed (1, the default) or skipped (0). To skip it:
If you skip the C++ Redistributable component, Advanced Designer falls back to whatever version is already on the machine — which may make Advanced Designer unstable.
If a non-administrator runs InstallRuntime=0, the option is silently ignored and the C++ Redistributable component is installed anyway. No diagnostic message appears.
