Displaylink USB Graphics Software for Windows

If you want to deploy Displaylink USB Graphics Software for Windows, there are some extra steps you have to take.

Download the Corporate install files from the Displaylink site. In the Setup Store, click on ‘Download’ and select the previously downloaded file.

Click ‘Create Application’. The zip-file is extracted and the Configuration Wizard starts. Change options if needed and save the mst file.

Both MSI’ have to be installed for the software to work properly.

The DisplayLink Core software provides core DisplayLink functionality. It installs the DisplayLink USB Graphics Card Driver, as well as the basic DisplayLink GUI in the system tray.

The Setup file provides additional functionality, such as the ability to recognise hardware button presses on Docking Stations. Think of it like installing software on a freshly-installed laptop that enables the Function key buttons.

Both files are required for proper functionality of the DisplayLink software, and must be installed in a specific order; Core first, then Setup.

To achieve this, add the Core Software to GPSI first, and then add the Setup.msi afterwards. As GPSI installs MSIs based on Timestamp, it should install the MSIs in the correct order.

In case of using SCCM, make the installation of the Setup package dependent on the installation of the Core package, this way the Core package will always be installed first.
