How to Create an Installation-Information Settings File

For an installation-information settings file, you need to define the license key

file name, installation destination folder, and then any other information that

is required for the particular installation.

HDLM provides a sample file in order to simplify the editing process of an

installation-information settings file. The sample file is located on the supplied

DVD.

To edit the installation-information settings file:

1

.

Copy the sample file for the installation-information settings file to any

folder.
The location of the sample file is as follows:

drive-to-which-the-installation-DVD-is-inserted:\HDLM_Windows

\DLMTools\sample_installhdlm.ini

2

.

Use a text editor to edit the sample file that was copied in step 1, in order

to create an installation-information settings file for your particular

configuration.
Items that need to be defined in the installation-information settings file

are described in

Contents of an Installation-Information Settings File on

page 7-18

below.

Notes on an Unattended Installation

Do not forcibly stop the execution of the installhdlm utility during an

unattended installation of HDLM. Even if you forcibly stop the execution of

the installhdlm utility, the HDLM installation will not be stopped. If you

have specified y for the restart key in the installation-information

settings file, the computer will restart after the installation finishes

successfully. Make sure that you check the results of the installation in
installhdlm.log, if you had to forcibly stop the execution of the
installhdlm utility.

The disk capacity necessary for the execution of the installhdlm utility is

as follows:
A folder specified in the workdir key (if the workdir key has not been

specified, a folder specified in the TMP or TEMP environment variable)

must have at least 20 KB of free disk capacity.

Information for the HDLM operation can also be specified by using the

HDLM command's set operation. To specify the information by using this

way, see

Setting Up HDLM on page 3-70

and make sure that an

untended installation is completed.
