How Setup uses Config.xml

Setup looks for a copy of Config.xml in the same folder as Setup.exe. If a copy is not found there, Setup uses the Config.xml file that is located in the core product folder for the product that you are installing. (If multiple products are in the network installation point, Setup waits until you specify which product to install before it looks for the copy of Config.xml.) The copy of Config.xml that is located in the product folder identifies the product through the Product attribute of the Configuration element.

You can also use the /config Setup command-line option to specify the location of the Config.xml file. For example:

\\server\share\setup.exe /config \\server\share\ProPlus.WW\config.xml

Note:

If you also created a Setup customization (.msp) file by using the OCT, the customizations that you define in Config.xml take precedence over those in the customization file.

Config.xml file format

XML elements in Config.xml begin with < and end with />.

The basic element format is as follows:

<element [attribute="value"] [attribute="value"] … /> For example:

<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />

The following statements apply to format:

Elements and attributes are case-sensitive.

Attribute values must be enclosed in quotation marks (") and are not case-sensitive.

An element definition can span multiple lines. Spaces, carriage returns, line feeds, and tab characters are ignored in an element definition.

The following is an example of an element definition that spans multiple lines.

<Display

Level="none"

CompletionNotice="no"

SuppressModal="yes"
