ActivInspire requires Promethean ActivHub drivers to work with hardware. These are often a separate MSI and must be deployed silently as well for the software to "see" the boards.

ActivInspire is a staple in modern classrooms, but for IT administrators, deploying it across hundreds of machines manually is a nightmare. A silent install allows you to push the software to every computer in your network without a single manual click on the client side.

Ensure the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Promethean\ActivSoftware\Inspire exists.

The standard command to install ActivInspire silently uses the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe). msiexec.exe /i "ActivInspire.msi" /qn /norestart /i : Commands the engine to install the package. /qn : Sets the user interface level to "none" (Silent mode).

Download the latest Windows MSI installer from the Promethean Support portal.

Check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for the ActivInspire entry.

Once the deployment finishes, verify the install by checking:

Ensure Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or higher is present on the target machines. Basic Silent Install Command

A "plain" install often isn't enough. You likely want to include the Core Resources or set the language. You can pass public properties to the MSI to customize the behavior. 1. Including Resource Packs
