3.6.4.1 Creating an initialization file
NOTICE
Data will be deleted if the installation file is incorrect
The parameter commands will be ignored if the installation file is not formulated
correctly. No error message will be shown. The default parameters will be used.
Data may be deleted during automatic uninstallation.
●
Ensure that the initialization file is correctly formulated.
The example below shows the structure of an initialization file including all the
possible parameter commands and default values.
[Remove components at uninstall]
REMOVE_BDVS=yes
REMOVE_ADD_DOCTOS=no
REMOVE_FIRMWARE=no
REMOVE_SITES=no
REMOVE_TRACES=no
REMOVE_QUICKTEXTS=no
REMOVE_SITEINFO=no
[Install parameters]
INSTALL_DIR="C:\Program Files (x86)\Siemens\F-FX7230\XS_en_x-Vx.x"
SHARED_DATA_DIR="C:\ProgramData\Siemens\F-FX7230"
TOOL_LANGUAGE="English (en)"
BDV_LANGUAGE="English (en)"
START_TOOL=yes
Table 3: Example structure of an initialization file with default values
Proceed as follows to create an initialization file.
1. Open a text editor, e.g., the editor in Word.
2. Create the required parameter commands as shown in the example and enter
the required parameter values.
3. Save the file as an ini file.
Important information about the initialization file:
●
No slashes '/' must be used in front of parameter commands in the initialization
file.
●
If the same parameter commands are transferred to the Command Prompt and
an initialization file is called up at the same time, only the parameter commands
from the initialization file will be taken into account.
●
You do not have to define all parameters in the initialization file. The default
value is set for undefined parameters.
●
If there is no earlier version of the engineering tool set installed on the PC, the
parameters for the 'Remove components at uninstall' section will be ignored.
