Quest Quanum Utilities (QQU)

The most recent version of the Quest Quanum Utilities (QQU) installation package can be downloaded via the following link:

https://physician.quanum.questdiagnostics.com/printing/QuestQuanumUtilities.exe

• Administrative rights are required to run the installation package.

• A restart is required after the installation package runs to ensure that all installed components are properly registered.

After downloading the latest installation package, you can perform a silent installation of QQU by running the following (case-sensitive) command:

QuestQuanumUtilities.exe -i silent

The following additional parameters can be used with this command, as needed:

Parameter	Description
‑D$FORCE_EXTENSION_INSTALL$=true	Sets the required Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome extension to forcibly install and activate. When this command is used, the extension cannot be disabled in either browser; this is by design, because QQU requires both the desktop application and the browser extension to function. Note: If your organization has not previously applied any browser management policies, using this parameter also results in the following message displaying within your browser settings: “Your browser is managed by your organization”.
‑D$FORCE_EXTENSION_ICON$=true	Forces the QQU extension icon to display in the browser’s toolbar.
‑D$DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE$=true	Disables QQU’s automatic update mechanism (automatic updates are enabled by default). Note that QQU must be kept up-to-date, and users will receive warnings with instructions to upgrade if their QQU version is too old. Providing the ability to disable auto update does not imply that the QQU deployment is meant to be a one-time installation.

All of the following elements must be present (with the proper values, as applicable). This logic can be used to define the Detection Check in a software deployment solution, such as Microsoft^® Configuration Manager.

1 C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Quanum Utilities\version.txt is present and its contents are the latest version of QQU, shown in Quest Quanum Utilities (QQU), above.

2 The registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Quest Quanum Utilities exists, along with a String Value Name of DisplayVersion with Value Data equal to the latest version of QQU.

3 C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Quanum Utilities\quest-native-connector-1.0.jar exists.

4 C:\Program Files (x86)\Quest Quanum Utilities\quest-client-utilities-1.0.jar exists.
