- MODIFYING THE SETUP.ISS FILE
- ============================
-
- The Diskeeper SMS remote Installation Files include the
- InstallShield silent installation response file, SETUP.ISS.
- This file contains input expected by the installation
- procedure.
-
- The default responses sent to the installation procedure
- are suitable for most sites. However, you can modify the
- responses sent to the installation procedure by editing
- the SETUP.ISS file. The SETUP.ISS file can be edited
- with Notepad or the text editor of your choice.
-
- Two sections of the SETUP.ISS file that you may want to
- modify are the default installation location and the
- Frag Guard[R] defaults.
-
- CHANGING THE DEFAULT INSTALLATION LOCATION
- ------------------------------------------
- By default, when using SMS, Diskeeper will install to
- \Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper\DiskeeperWks or
- \Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper\DiskeeperSvr
- (depending upon the version of Diskeeper you are installing).
- To install on a different volume or in a different directory,
- perform one of these two actions:
-
- o Share the directory where the Diskeeper installable
- files reside, then log into the target machine and
- run SETUP.EXE from the target machine as described
- in the Diskeeper documentation; or,
-
- o Edit the SETUP.ISS file and change the line
- szPath=C: \Program Files\Executive Software
- \Diskeeper\DiskeeperWks (or \Diskeeper Svr)
- to point to the volume and directory where
- you want to install Diskeeper.
