- ; INFORMATION ABOUT AUTOMATED INSTALL
- ;
- ; Automated install is a feature that allows
- ; users to run the Lotus Install program
- ; without the user interface. This feature
- ; is particularly useful for system administrators
- ; who must manage installs and upgrades for
- ; large groups of users.
- ;
- ; System administrators use this feature
- ; by filling in the fields in this response
- ; file (wordpro.rsp), and then making this
- ; file available to end users. The information
- ; you supply in this file provides input
- ; to the Install program so it can run without
- ; user intervention.
- ;
- ; NOTE: Only system administrators should edit
- ; this file. Individual users should use the
- ; response file provided to them by their system
- ; administrator.
- ;
- ;
- ; TO USE THE AUTOMATED INSTALL FEATURE:
- ;
- ; 1) Prepare the Response File:
- ;
- ; a) Back up this file by copying it
- ; to a new name (wordpro.sav, for example)
- ; so you can start fresh at any time.
- ; b) In this file, provide the information
- ; for each field. Examine each default
- ; value to make sure it is the value you
- ; want. Read the comments for each field
- ; for information about legal values and
- ; possible interactions with other fields.
- ; c) Validate your response file by running
- ; an install that uses this file as input.
- ; (See the command line information below).
- ; The Install program displays any errors
- ; that occur. Remember that if you are
- ; testing node installs, you must run a
- ; server install first.
- ;
- ; 2) Make the Response File Available to
- ; End Users
- ;
- ; When your response file has no errors
- ; and performs the install as you intended,
- ; make it available to your users with
- ; instructions about how to run the Install
- ; program. You might want to simply tell them
- ; what command line to type from Program Manager,
- ; or you might want to use the Object Packager
- ; to create an icon they can click on. The best
- ; distribution strategy depends on the tools
- ; you have available at your site.
- ;
- ;
- ; TO RUN AN AUTOMATED INSTALL:
- ; Choose File Run from the Windows Program Manager,
- ; and type the install command:
- ;
- ; <path>\install /A <ResponseFilePath> [/U ["<UserName>"]] [/?]
- ;
- ; where:
- ; path is the location of the install program
- ; executable.
- ; ResponseFilePath is the location of this file.
- ; ALWAYS specify the full path to this file.
- ; "<UserName>" is the name of the user to which
- ; this copy of the program is registered.
- ; /? brings up usage information.
- ;
- ;
- ; HINTS AND TIPS:
- ;
- ; Do not change the field names to the left
- ; of the equal signs (=) in this file.
- ; Changing the field names will cause errors.
- ;
- ; Do not remove fields from this
- ; file. Removing fields will
- ; cause errors.
- ;

- ; THE RESPONSE FILE STARTS HERE:
- ;
- [User Registration]
- ; The [User Registration] section is for
- ; information about the end user of this copy
- ; of the product.
- ;
- ; Type the user's name in the "UserName" field.
- ; Type the company's name in the "CompanyName"
- ; field. This information will become a
- ; permanent part of the user's copy of this
- ; program. If you do not supply this
- ; information, the program will attempt
- ; to find the user and company name from
- ; a previously installed version
- ; of this program (if there is one), or
- ; from the Windows registration information.

- [Node Install]
- ; The [Node Install] section applies only
- ; to node installs.

- ; on the user's machine should be consolidated
- ; into one directory.
- ; 0 Do not consolidate
- ; 1 Consolidate

- ;***********************************************
- Consolidation = 1
- ;***********************************************
- ;
- ; Use the "LOTUSAPPDIR" field to specify the
- ; location of the Lotus shared components.
- ; You may change the drive letter if
- ; necessary, but we recommend that you
- ; accept the default path \windows\lotusapp.
- ;
- ; This field is normally used only if there
- ; has been no previous consolidation, or if
- ; the current consolidation location is
- ; read-only or does not have enough room for
- ; all of the shared components. To confirm
- ; whether you have a consolidation location
- ; already, look for the "Common Directory"
- ; entry in your \windows\lotus.ini file.
