Editing the Installation Configuration File

Whether you are doing a silent or remote installation, you must edit the installation configuration file, setup.iss. This file lets you specify any configurable NerveCenter option.

---

Note    If you are enabling SNMP v3 traps, check the Services applet in the Windows Control panel to make sure that the MS Trap Service or the OV Trap Service is stopped and disabled.

---

To edit the installation configuration file:

1. From the source directory, open setup.iss in a text editor.
2. Edit the file, specifying your configuration options.

---

Caution    If you plan to use SMS to install NerveCenter onto more than one system, make sure that the settings in the setup.iss file are valid for all those installations. You may need to create separate install packages for variations of the installation procedure, such as the NerveCenter Client only on a system.

---

The configuration options are similar to the options you specify in the Setup GUI. See Running Setup on Windows for more details.

---

Note    0 is equivalent to False, 1 is equivalent to True.
