Installing with Desktop User Settings Loaded
You can prepare a user settings file (iWDTSettings.iwdtst) for Desktop and incorporate it in the installer to install Desktop with the same settings.
Export a user settings file from an existing Desktop environment in advance.
By using a Desktop installer with an incorporated user settings file, and performing a distributed installation with SMS/SCCM, you can install Desktop with the same environment on multiple computers on a network.
Integrating a User Settings File in the Installer
1.
Copy the installer from "Desktop Installation Media".
2.
Delete the initial underscore (_) and rename the following folders that comprise the installer as indicated below.
Select either the "32bit" folder or "64bit" folder according to the operating system environment to install to.
|
Before change
|
(Folder that the installer was copied to)\32bit or 64bit\_etc_iWDTSettings
|
|
After change
|
(Folder that the installer was copied to)\32bit or 64bit\etc_iWDTSettings
|
|
NOTE
|
|
If a folder name contains an initial underscore (_) the content of that folder is ignored during installation.
|
3.
Replace the dummy user settings file in the "a1" folder under the "etc_iWDTSettings" folder.
This folder structure and dummy user settings file (iWDTSettings.iwdtst) already exist in the installer.
|
etc_iWDTSettings\pd\a1\iWDTSettings.iwdtst
|
By replacing the above dummy user settings file (iWDTSettings.iwdtst) with the user settings file you prepared that has the same name, the user settings file is loaded during installation.
|
NOTE
|
|
If you selected [Select during installation] while exporting the user settings file, the [Select User Settings] dialog box is displayed the first time that Desktop is started after installing with the above method. Select any of the following options, and click [OK].
