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.

 
  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.

    The configuration options are similar to the options you specify in the Setup GUI. See Running Setup on Windows on page 15 for more details.

    Sections in the Installation Configuration File lists the sections in the file that you can and cannot edit.
