-R

and

5.

Follow

the

steps

the

program.

As

you

install

the

program,

the

keystrokes

and

mouse

clicks

are

recorded

in

the

new

SETUP.ISS

file.

Because

the

values

you

type

will

be

used

on

all

target

computers,

you

should

use

company-related

information

in

place

of

any

personal

information

for

which

you

might

be

prompted.

When

the

the

new

SETUP.ISS

file

from

the

Windows

folder

Note:

New

versions

of

InstallShield

might

have

different

steps.

Most

commercially-available

installation

products,

such

as

Microsoft

Installer,

also

enable

you

to

do

a

silent

install.

InstallShield

Developer

enables

you

to

create

silent

installations

for

both

the

Basic

MSI

and

InstallScript

MSI

project

types.

To

run

a

Basic

MSI

setup

silently,

you

need

to

use

the

following

command:

MSIEXEC

/i

Product.msi

/qn

If

your

release

settings

include

SETUP.EXE,

you

can

run

the

following

command:

SETUP.EXE

/s

/v"/qn"

Basic

MSI

projects

do

not

create

or

read

response

files.

To

set

installation

properties

for

a

Basic

MSI

project,

use

a

command

similar

to

the

following:

MSIEXEC

/i

Product.msi

/qn

INSTALLDIR=D:\ProductFolder

USERNAME=’Valued

Customer"

See

the

documentation

associated

with

the

specific

installation

product

if

you

encounter

any

problems.

Adding

mini-applications

The

use

of

mini-applications

is

optional.

Mini-applications

are

useful

for

creating

special

folders,

cleaning

up

registry

entries,

or

performing

any

other

service

related

to

the

application

being

installed.

The

content

and

format

of

a

mini-application

is

entirely

up

to

you.

You

are

limited

to

running

one

mini-application

before

the

application

is

installed

and

one

mini-application

after

the

application

is

installed.

The

only

requirement

related

to

the

preparation

of

mini-applications

is

that

you

must

copy

all

of

the

mini-application

files

into

the

same

folder

as

the

application

SETUP.EXE

file

or

into

one

of

its

subfolders.

Making

files

accessible

to

the

ImageUltra

Builder

console

The

last

step

of

preparation

is

making

the

files

accessible

to

the

ImageUltra

Builder

console.

Simply

copy

the

folder

and

subfolders

containing

the

application

source

files

to

any

drive

that

can

be

accessed

by

the

ImageUltra

Builder

console.

You

must

keep

the

folder

structure

intact.

After

the

files

are

prepared

After

the

files

are

prepared,

you

can

create

a

module

entry

in

the

repository

if

one

does

not

exist,

and

then

build

the

module.

When

you

create

the

module

entry,

you

are

given

the

opportunity

to

define

a

number

of

attributes

associated

with

the

150

ImageUltra

Builder
