26 HMP Release 2.0 for Windows Software Installation Guide — December 2005
Installing the Software
release since installs can vary, so you must create your own response file. The procedures in this
section describe how to create and use a response file that is specific to your particular needs.
Note: A Security Alert - Driver Installation message may appear during installation. Therefore, if you
want to perform a silent install, you must disable the Windows Driver Signing check. Refer to
Section 4.5, “Disabling the Windows Driver Signing Check”, on page 41.
2.5.2 Creating an InstallShield Response File
This procedure describes how to create an InstallShield response file, which is named setup.iss by
default. The response file captures all your responses during an interactive install. Once you create
this file, you can use it on other machines to silently install the software the same way you installed
the software when you created the response file.
Note: You can give the response file a name other than setup.iss, but then you must specify the new name
by using the
/f1 option. Use of the /f1 option is described in Section 2.5.3, “Using the
InstallShield Response File”, on page 27.
1. Open a Windows DOS command prompt.
2. Change into the root directory of the HMP Software build media (the CD or downloaded files),
which is where setup.exe is located.
3. Run
setup /r
4. Proceed through the interactive installation dialogs, making whatever selections you want
captured in the response file, including rebooting the computer, if you want that action
captured.
Note: Do not choose to reboot if you do not want the setup to reboot the system after the
silent installation of the HMP Software is complete. For example, if you plan to
invoke the installation of HMP Software from within another setup program, you
should not choose to reboot when you are creating the response file.
5. Once the installation has completed, a response file, setup.iss, will be present in your Windows
directory (environment variable
%WINDIR%
1
).
6. If you chose to install the Core Runtime Package when generating the response file, then you
must edit the response file to remove the following lines. Otherwise, the Core Runtime
Package will not be installed.
Runtime-type=string
Runtime-count=1
Runtime-0=Runtime\MFC 6.2 Runtime
This step is necessary due to a bug in InstallShield when generating a response file.
7. You can optionally move the setup.iss response file into the root of the build media. If you do
this, you won’t have to specify the location of the response file when you enter the command
1. To find the Windows directory, open a Windows DOS command prompt window and enter
the command
echo %WINDIR%.
