The Setup Program (Setup.exe)

Users can install InfoConnect using the Setup program (setup.exe) directly from a download. Administrators can also customize the installation and run setup.exe from a command line.

  • Running Setup directly

    When users run Setup directly, they can select which features to install, specify the program installation location, and set data folder locations.

    Use the Features tab to select which features to install. The features available to you depend on your InfoConnect Product. See Feature Selection for a list of which features are available.

    Use the Data Location tab to configure where InfoConnect stores data. See Data Location.

    NOTE:The Data Location tab is not visible if you are installing InfoConnect Desktop on a system with an earlier version of InfoConnect. After an upgrade, InfoConnect Desktop continues to use your existing data locations.

  • Using the Setup program’s administrative features

    Using the Advanced tab you can create an administrative installation image on a network server. This network location can be used by deployment tools to access and create packages that are deployed to workstations. See Choose the type of Installation. You can also use this tab to set logging options. See Set logging options.

    Launching Setup.exe in admin mode starts the Installation Customization Tool, a powerful tool from customizing your installations. See The Installation Customization Tool and Deploy using the Setup Program.

  • Running Setup from the command line

    You can use the Setup program command line to install InfoConnect from the distribution image, or from an administrative installation image. You can also include command-line options in a batch file to preset installation parameters, and limit user interaction while InfoConnect is installing. You can suppress installation dialog boxes to provide an unattended installation. See Deploy using the Setup command line.
