Customizing SMS Packages
You can customize the installation procedures of those SMS packages
that contain an
.IPF
file.
To do this, edit and recompile the
.IPF
files using the SMS Installer
Tool, as follows:
1 Run the Microsoft SMS Installer.
2 Open the
.IPF
file provided in the Image Library package.
3 Modify the file as needed.
For example, change the destination directory of the files to be
installed by modifying the value assigned to the
MAINDIR
variable.
(All areas of code that start with
== CUSTOM BLOCK ==
and end
with
== END BLOCKS ==
were developed by HP.)
4 Using the Installation Expert (
View
menu), configure the following:
•
Select
Installation Interface
, then click the
SMS
tab.
Ensure that the
Create Packages Definition File
checkbox
is selected and click
OK
.
•
Select
Advanced Configuration
, then click the
Settings
tab.
In the
Installation EXE Name
box, type the directory and
filename for the modified setup program, then click
OK
.
5 Compile the file to create a new setup program.
Refer to the SMS Installer 2.0 documentation for more details.
