Configuration options for setup.ini

AppName=My Multimedia Player

Name of your application which is displayed during installation

Version number of your application which is displayed during installation.

AppPublisher=Universal Software

Name of your company

DefaultDirName=my application

Default name for directory. You can also define a sub folder, e.g. Universal Software\application1

The real path would then be ..\programs\Universal Software\application1

DefaultGroupName=Smart Program Group

Default name for program manager group

 

 

 

[ProgManGroup]

 

This section defines addition entries in the program manager group.

 

ShowLicenseInfo = true or false

 

Adds an entry in the program manger group to invoke the License Viewer. This is an inbuilt Administration interface where the end user can add new licenses. It is highly recommended for network installations to add this option.

ShowReadmeFile = true or false

 

Adds an entry in the program manger group to invoke a ReadMe file. The ReadMe file has to be defined in the section [Files], readme.

 

[Files]

This section defines the files which have to be copied

exe-Filename=flash-demo.exe

Exe filename of the player (must match the name in the deploy folder)

mmf-Filename=flash-demo.mmf

Filname of the database (must match the name in the deploy folder)

lic-Filename=flash-demo.lic

Filname of the license file (must match the name in the deploy folder)

ico-Filename=mpplayer.ico

Define a custom icon which should appear in the program manager group. If you want to use the icon of the Multimedia Player , use the file mpplayer.ico as provided

readme-xxx = readme-xxx.txt

This allows to display a readme file after the installation. The readme file must be in txt or doc format.

xxx is the language identifier. The following languages are supported.

 

readme-ces=Czech        

readme-dan=Danish

readme-deu=German  - sample: readme-deu=readme-deu.txt

readme-dut=Dutch

readme-enu=English   - sample: readme-enu=readme-enu.doc

readme-esp=Spanish

readme-fra=French

readme-ita=Italian

readme-nor=Norwegian

readme-por=Portugues

 

Note: As you do not know, which language the user selects during installation, you should specify for each language a readme file, even if it is always the same file.

 

The readme file can be added to the program manager group, so that the file can be viewed after the installation is done. See section [ProgManGroup], ShowReadmeFile.

 

additionalx = *.bat

 

This command allows to copy additional files. You can either specify one file (e.g. doc-course1.pdf) or a complete group of files (*.pdf). A maximum of 10 different files can be copied. These files are copied to the main installation folder. They are not protected.

 

additional1=*.bat

additional2=doc-course1.pdf

additional3=course*-lesson*.avi

additional4=
