Question:
What are the "flags" on the Special Options tab (Project/Properties) used for? (SQA000050)
Answer:
InstallPump Flags are useful to override certain default settings.
SYNTAX
flag1=flagvalue1$$flag2=flagvalue2$$flag3=flagvalue3$$...
Following is a complete list of all flags:
- SysDirRedirect
(directory path) Use this flag to redirect the Windows System directory to another directory.
- SFXRedirect
(directory path)Use this flag to redirect the default directory where the self extractor EXE (SetupSE.EXE) extracts its files.
- TempDirRedirect
(directory path)Use this flag to redirect the default InstallPump temp directory to another directory. This is useful if the user's machine implements restricted policies.
- SFXShowSuccessMsg
(0 or 1) Use this flag to specify whether success messages are displayed by the Self-Extractor. Default is 0.
- SFXShowFailMsg
(0 or 1) Use this flag to specify whether failure messages are displayed by the Self-Extractor. Default is 1.
- SFXShowCreateDirErrMsg
(0 or 1) Use this flag to specify whether an error message is displayed if the default self-extractor directory cannot be created. Default is 1.
- SFXShowIntroMsg
(0 or 1) Use this flag to specify whether the introduction window is displayed by the Self-Extractor. This window gives the user the chance to confirm or cancel the installation of your application. Default is 1.
- SFXAbort
(button caption) Use this flag to specify the text that is displayed on the Abort button while InstallPump decompresses the self-extractor file. Button captions can contain the & character, which becomes invisible and causes the following character to be underlined and considered a windows keyboard shortcut character to the button (also known as a keyboard accelerator). Default is &Abort.
Note - It is not possible to hide the Abort button.
-SFXProgress
(0 or 1) Use this flag to specify whether the progress window is displayed by the Self-Extractor. This window is displayed while InstallPump decompress the self-extractor file. Default is 1.
- IPUFilePath
Use this flag to specify a custom uninstall information (IPU) file name and path. Default is <InstallDir>IPUNINST.IPU.
Note: You can specify an InstallPump Global Variable for any of the above flags.
