Installing VEXcode GO 4.x with MSI Installers

The following article will walk you through how to install VEXcode GO version 4.x with MSI installers.

MSI installers are created to assist IT Administrators with site-wide deployments. If you are not an IT Administrator, go here for information on how to install VEXcode GO with the normal installer.

Note: Drivers are automatically included with the MSI Installer.

Important: The MSI Installer must be run directly. Do not use msiexec.exe to run the installer, as this will prevent the installer from working. The installer must also be run as an administrator in order to install VEXcode GO for all users.


Steps for Installation

  1. If you are using a remote deployment system such as SCCM you may need to install the Driver Signing Certificates before running the driver installer.
    1. Download these four certificate files:
      1. Certificate 1
      2. Certificate 2
      3. Certificate 3
      4. Certificate 4
    2. Certs can be installed with the following commands using Microsoft’s certutil command.

      certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" RobomatterIncCert.cer
      certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" VEXRoboticsCert20.cer
      certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" VEXroboticsCert23.cer
      certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" VEXRoboticsCertExp2026.cer
  2. Go to the VEXcode GO installation page to download the latest MSI Installer.
    Download options for Desktop including Windows, Mac Intel, and Mac Apple Silicon platforms. A link below the Windows download button reads 'MSI (For IT)', and the link is highlighted.
     
  3. Run the downloaded MSI Installer directly, as an administrator, to deploy VEXcode GO systemwide.

    Important: Do not use msiexec.exe to run the MSI Installer. Doing so will prevent the installer from working. The MSI Installer must also be run as an administrator in order to install VEXcode GO for all users.

    To run a silent installation, call the MSI Installer directly with the /qn flag, using the exact filename of the downloaded file. The version number in the filename will match the current version on the VEXcode GO installation page. For example:

    "VEXcode GO-4.67.0-latest-win-x64.msi" /qn
