The installation for QSR Nvivo 8 is similar to Nvivo 7 but alot more streamlined for the activation process.

In an interactive Nvivo 8 installation all the components are installed as part of the installation process, some are the same as Nvivo 7 but there are a few new ones including Quicktime and Windows Media Player 11. The details are outlined in the network admin install guide here Nvivo 8 Network Administrators Guide

If you follow the guide you must firstly extract Nvivo 8 with a '/a' switch to an admin installation point. You can also download all the dependants from the documents link and place some of them in the same directory as I have done. I have created other folders for ones I am going to keep separate and use another time.

I've added the additional components as <depends> entries. You also should modify the nvivo8Activation.xml with your own credentials.

I have made a custom MS SQL Nvivo install as it needs to make its own database instance during the installation. All the other depends packages are here on WPKG.ORG.
