;*******************************************************************************
;
;ABCPYDOC.INI - This file is an example file that shows how to use the
; "blind-copy" capability with Adobe Acrobat installations.
;
; This file also contains documentation on how to silently install Acrobat.
;
;NOTE: Do NOT use this file for blind-copy. It is meant only as an example.
;*******************************************************************************
;
;Blind-copy capability provides a mechanism where an Adobe OEM or VAR may modify
;the appearance of the Acrobat installation, and add their own files, registry
;entries or INI settings during the Acrobat installation.
;
;To trigger the blind-copy mechanism, a file named ABCPY.INI (Adobe Blind CoPY
;initialization file) must exist in the same directory as the installer (SETUP.EXE)
;for Acrobat, whether for the individual Acrobat products or the Acrobat 3.01
;"umbrella" multi-product installer.
;
;ABCPY.INI is formatted similar to any Windows-based .INI file, with sections and
;key-value pairs within the sections. The section names are either pre-determined
;or in some cases must match values set in ACROINST.INI (a hidden file used by
;Acrobat installations).
;
;The pre-determined section names are [OEM Install] and [Launches].
;
;
;********************************************************************************
;********************* OEM Install Section of ABCPY.INI *********************
;********************************************************************************
;
;The section [OEM Install] can be used to determine some of the behavior of the
;Acrobat installation, affecting which dialogs are displayed, the default
;destination directory, and the default "program group" (i.e. where Acrobat icons
;or shortcuts are created).
;
;NOTE: If your goal is to install Acrobat "silently", use the SETUP.EXE command
; line options discussed at the bottom of this file. Changing all of the
; Display{....} keys to "NO" in [OEM Install] will NOT result in a silent
; installation!
;
;The key names defined in [OEM Install] are pre-defined, so they cannot be altered.
;Key names starting with Display{....} are set by using the words YES or NO. The
;other keys need values that are valid strings for the object being set.
;
;The following is an example of the list of the recognized keys and their values
;within the [OEM Install] section of the ABCPY.INI file. The order in which these
;keys appear in this list coincides with the order that the dialogs are displayed
;during the normal Acrobat "umbrella" installation. The values shown here are the
;default values in the normal Acrobat "umbrella" installation. The absence of any
;of these keys will result in the Acrobat installation using the defaults within
;the normal installation, so this example is actually unnecessary and redundant.
;The addition of keys not defined in this list will be ignored by the Acrobat
;installation.

[OEM Install]
DisplayWelcomeDlg=YES
DisplayProductChoiceDlg=YES
DisplayTypeOfInstallDlg=YES
DisplaySelectDestDirDlg=NO
DisplayConfirmNewDir=NO
DisplaySVAL=YES
DisplayConfirmRegDlg=YES
DisplaySelectProgGrpDlg=NO
DisplayStartCopyDlg=YES
DisplayFinishDlg=YES
DisplayRebootDlg=YES
DisplayBusyMessages=YES
ProgGroupName=Adobe Acrobat
DefaultDestDir=\Acrobat3
;
;DisplayWelcomeDlg controls whether the first dialog appears. This dialog contains
;messages instructing the user to shut down other applications when installing, and
;a legal reminder that the software is copyrighted, etc.
;
;DisplayProductChoiceDlg controls whether the multi-product choice dialog appears.
;
;DisplayTypeOfInstallDlg controls whether the Component Selection dialog appears.
;This dialog allows the user to modify the destination path as well as providing
;disk space requirements for the installation.
;
;NOTE: The DisplayTypeOfInstallDlg key should be set to NO for Acrobat Reader
; installations.
;
;DisplaySelectDestDirDlg controls whether the Select Destination Directory dialog
;appears. This dialog allows the user to modify the destination path.
;
;NOTE: The DisplaySelectDestDirDlg key should only be set to YES for Acrobat Reader
; installations. The other Acrobat installations use the Component Selection
; dialog for allowing the user to modify the destination path.
;
;DisplayConfirmNewDir controls whether an Adobe-defined message box is displayed when
;the user chooses a destination path that does not exist. This is normally set to NO.
;
;DisplaySVAL controls whether the user registration dialog is displayed.
;
;NOTE: This dialog must be displayed if the Adobe product you are installing requires
; a serial number (i.e. Acrobat Reader does not display this dialog even if the
; value here is set to YES, but the installation will be appear to hang if this
; dialog is not displayed for Acrobat Exchange or the multi-product installation).
; A valid Adobe Acrobat serial number must be entered for the installation to
; continue and trying to circumvent this dialog by not displaying it is not the
; method that will work.
;
;DisplayConfirmRegDlg controls whether the dialog requesting confirmation of the user
;registration information appears.
;
;DisplaySelectProgGrpDlg controls whether the Select Program Group dialog appears which
;allows users to choose which Program Group or Start Menu folder icons/shortcuts are
;created in.
;
;DisplayStartCopyDlg controls whether the dialog displaying what choices the user has
;made (just prior to actually copying the files) appears.
;
;DisplayFinishDlg controls the appearance of the dialog allowing the user perform online
;registration (not available with Acrobat Reader) or view the ReadMe file.
;
;DisplayRebootDlg controls the appearance of a Reboot dialog or a Reboot message if
;the Acrobat installation detected the need for the user to reboot their machine due
;to an event in the installation (e.g. a file is locked and will be replaced at reboot).
;Setting this value to NO will cause the message to be displayed and setting the value
;to YES will provide the dialog to be displayed.
;
;DisplayBusyMessages controls whether a message is displayed that provides
;feedback to the user when the Acrobat installer is performing a lengthy task.
;
;ProgGroupName will take any valid Program Group name.
;
;NOTE: ProgGroupName is not platform smart, so the name will be the same on
; both 16-bit and 32-bit Windows platforms.
;
;DefaultDestDir will take any valid directory name (i.e. for 16-bit Windows
;use 8.3 names). For the Acrobat multi-product installation, this directory
;is the top-level directory for the products.
;
;NOTE: DefaultDestDir is not platform smart, so the directory will be the same
; on both 16-bit and 32-bit Windows platforms.

;********************* Launch Section of ABCPY.INI *****************************
;********************************************************************************
;
;The [Launches] section of ABCPY.INI provides the capability of launching either
;another InstallShield script or another Windows application from the Acrobat
;installer. This section (as similar to [OEM Install]) is not dependent on any
;product or component being selected by the user.
;
;The keys that are necessary for this mechanism to work are:
;NumberOfLaunches
;Launch<X>Platform
;Launch<X>Type
;Launch<X>Program
;Launch<X>CmdLine
;Launch<X>ChangeDir
;Launch<X>Wait
;
;where <X> is replaced by a number lees than or equal to the NumberOfLaunches.
;
;The NumberOfLaunches key is defined only once and sets the value for how many
;applications are to be launched via the blind copy mechanism. This value must
;be one or larger.
;
;NOTE: The "umbrella" Acrobat installer also has the capability of launching
; Apple QuickTime for Windows if the user (or the silent installation
; record session) chose that product and component.
