Installing All Content Files

Content files include output styles, filters, and connection files. Earlier releases of EndNote installed all available content files. The number of predefined content files is now in the thousands, and may adversely affect the speed and performance of EndNote. Your users, however, may prefer to have access to all files.

Note: You can combine this command along with changing the default content file path. See Changing the Default Content File Location.

Method 1: Change the Setting via Command Line

This method will work for most users, who install EndNote by launching the installer. To install all content files with EndNote:

For EXE installations:

EN2025Inst.exe INSTALLALLCONTENTFILES=yes

For MSI installations:

msiexec.exe /I EN2025Inst.msi INSTALLALLCONTENTFILES=yes

Method 2: Change the Setting via Transform

This method is for site system administrators, who want the end user to install or deploy the application without the user changing settings.

Change the value of the “INSTALLALLCONTENTFILES” property to "yes" in the Property table, save the transform, and create the group policy object to deploy the installer with the transform. (See the transform documentation for the tool you are using, such as Orca.)
