setup.ini adjust

[Joachim082]

Hi,

I want to automate the distribution of my dsc runtime via a silent installation. As I need to uninstall a few products (remote-provider RemPXI-provider, Software-Provider) because

the user shell not be able to browse the network components. Can I exclude the components like NIRemoteProvider in the setup.ini? I've already tried to remove the section but

the setup exits with an error that he doesn't find a product (hash-code of the removed component).

It is a very circuitous cycle to do a full install and manually remove the component after the complete install. Isn't there a way to do an adjusted installation without these components?

Kind Regards,

Hi Joachim,

you will need to create a so called spec file where you specify what components to install to which location.

After you've done that you can do the customized silent install by calling setup.exe <path to spec file>.

Read the following KB where you find detailed explanations on how to create the spec file:

Best regards,

David,

I've created the specfile - but there are a few Products installed which shouldn't - RemoteProvider, RemPXIProvider...  The specfile isn't the problem - I want to edit the setup.ini-file....
