Configuring the Installer
When running the installer, several of the install options can be specified in a configuration file.
How to configure the installer using an XML file
- Create a new text file named "config.xml".
- Place the config.xml file in the same directory as the MSI installer.
-
Edit the config.xml file with the following options:
<INSTALLDIR>C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperSizer</INSTALLDIR>
<DATABASEDIR>C:\HyperSizer Data</DATABASEDIR>
<INSTALLDATABASEFILES>TRUE</INSTALLDATABASEFILES>
<INSTALLDATABASEWORKGROUP>TRUE</INSTALLDATABASEWORKGROUP>
-
INSTALLDIR Defines the folder location for the HyperSizer binaries (HyperSizer.exe).
32-bit default: C:\Program Files\HyperSizer
64-bit default: C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperSizer
-
DATABASEDIR Defines the folder location for tutorial databases, FEM files, and temporary working files. Users must have read-write access to this folder.
Default: C:\HyperSizer Data
- INSTALLDATABASEFILES This flag indicates whether or not to install the default HyperSizer database template in INSTALLDIR\Database\Database Template. Typical installations will set this flag to TRUE. However, if your team is using a custom template database you may not want to install the default template. See Controlling the Template Database on Install.
- INSTALLDATABASEWORKGROUP This flag indicates whether or not to install the default HyperSizer workgroup file in INSTALLDIR\Database\HyperSizer.hwg. The workgroup file contains the user account information (user names, passwords, and access levels). Typical installations will set this flag to TRUE. However, if your team is using custom user accounts you may not want to install the default workgroup file on end user's machine.
- The next time the MSI installer runs, these options will be set.
