Creating an Installation Information file

To create the Installation Information file, start the command prompt and run "setup.exe" in the Create Installation Information File mode as shown below:

Installation in Create Installation Information File mode

setup.exe -r [-f1"Installation Information file name"]

Explanation of parameters

-r

This parameter enables the Create Installation Information File mode. (Mandatory)

-f1"Installation Information file name"

This parameter specifies the name of the Installation Information file. (Optional)

Specify the file name in an absolute path.

Enclose the file name with double quotations (") to specify the file name.

Do not insert a space between the terms, namely '-f1' and "Installation Information file name."

When you omit the parameter, a file named 'setup.iss' is created in the folder where Windows operating system is installed.

Example)

When the installation folder of Windows operating system is C:\Windows

C:\Windows\setup.iss

If the file with the same name already exists, it will be replaced.

The procedure is the same as that of interactive installation, except for the creation of the Installation Information file after completing the installation. Carry out the operation by referring to one of the following instructions:

Note

  • Because the setup program records the information that is provided while it is running, the content of the Installation Information file varies depending on the installation conditions and user entries during installation.

    Be sure to run the setup program under the same conditions and enter the same values as the conditions and values that are required to create the Installation Information file for Silent Installation.

  • Execute Silent Installation by using the same setup module as the one you used when the Installation Information file was created.

    • If there is a difference in version, level, or revision between the HULFT that you used to create the Installation Information file and the HULFT that you want to install, you cannot execute Silent Installation.

  • When you run 'setup.exe' in Execute Silent Installation mode, GUI screens of the setup program do not appear. However, if you chose to display the readme file during the installation in Create Installation Information File mode, the readme file is displayed even when you install the application in Execute Silent Installation mode.

  • You cannot run more than one instance of the above 'setup.exe' at the same time.
