If you have administrator permissions, you can use the following installation options to customize your Advanced Designer installation.

​
PerMachine

Defines whether Advanced Designer will be available to all users of your machine (value 1) or not (value 0). By default, Advanced Designer is installed into C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\ABBYY\Vantage and is only available for one user. To make Advanced Designer available to all users of your machine, install it to a location accessible to all users. To install Advanced Designer into C:\Program Files\ABBYY\Vantage, open the command line, specify the folder that contains the installation file, and run the following command: 
Vantage.Advanced.Designer.exe PerMachine=1

​
InstallFolder

Specifies the path to the installation folder. To install Advanced Designer to a folder of your choice, open the command line, specify the folder that contains the installation file, and run the following command: 
Vantage.Advanced.Designer.exe InstallFolder="<full path to the folder>" PerMachine=1
If the specified installation folder does not exist, it will be created.
Note: The InstallFolder option can only be used together with the PerMachine option.

​
InstallRuntime

Defines whether the C++ Redistributable component will be installed (value 1) or not (value 0).
Important! If you do not install the C++ Redistributable component, the currently available C++ component will be used, which may make Advanced Designer unstable.
To install Advanced Designer without the C++ Redistributable component, open the command line, specify the folder that contains the installation file, and run the following command: 
Vantage.Advanced.Designer.exe InstallRuntime=0
Note: If you do not have administrator permissions and run the InstallRuntime=0 option, no diagnostics will be shown and the C++ Redistributable component will still be installed.
