If you only want to change the behavior of the install components (setup.exe, acu.exe, and cuagent.exe), you do not need to create a Client properties file. All you need to do is open the install.ini file, located in the root directory of the Client build (C:\Micro Focus\Client for Open Enterprise Server 2 SP4 (IR3)), make the desired changes, and save it. When the install components run, they read the file and change the appropriate behavior.
The Install.ini file lets you configure the following settings:
|
Option |
Description |
Settings |
|---|---|---|
|
[NovellClient] |
Specifies settings that apply to one or more of the install utilities. |
MajorInternalVersion= MinorInternalVersion= NovellClientPropertiesFile= |
|
[Setup] |
Specifies settings that apply only to the install program (setup.exe). |
DisplayLanguageSelection= DefaultLanguageSelection= DisplayLicenseAgreement= DisplayInitialDialog= DisplayBackground= CreateSystemRestorePoint= InstallNMAS= InstallNICI= ForceReboot= DisplayRebootDialog= LocalDirectory= InstallAdvancedAuthentication= InstallAdvancedAuthenticationDeviceServices= AdvancedAuthenticationClientDiscoveryHost= AdvancedAuthenticationClientEventName= |
|
[ACU] |
Specifies settings that apply only to the Automatic Client Upgrade utility (acu.exe). . |
DisplayUpgradeDialog= Message= |
|
[UpdateAgent] |
Specifies settings that apply only to the Client Update Agent utility (cuagent.exe).. |
Disabled= DisplayUpdateDialog= DisplayUpdateLocation= Message= |
NOTE:The .INI file parsing performed by Microsoft on the Windows platform does not support duplicate section names, nor does it support duplicate setting names within a section. Only the first section found with a given name will be used, and only the first instance of a setting name within that section will be recognized.
Meaning the settings presented in the INSTALL.INI will need to be modified within the existing sections, as they were distributed in the INSTALL.INI. Moving or duplicating the settings to another area of the file will not result in the intended processing.
