Installing Z and I Emulator for Windows Using an Initialization (response) File
Z and I Emulator for Windows provides an optional method of customization that allows property values and feature installation choices made during one installation to be automatically applied during subsequent installations. The initialization file (.ini) contains the properties and options for Windows Installer to use as initialization choices so that subsequent installations do not require users to provide installation input using dialogs. Then, future installations can be set to run silently using an initialization file.
Administrators create, save, and implement initialization files
using command-line parameters. Z and I Emulator for Windows provides four command-line
parameters:
- SAVEINI
- ONLYINI
- USEINI
- REMOVEINI
Two sample initialization files are included on
the Z and I Emulator for Windows installation image. These sample initialization files
can be used during the installation if your workstation configuration
matches the definitions in the sample. Z and I Emulator for Windows includes the following
sample .ini files:
- typical.ini installs a typical setup
- custom.ini installs a custom setup to a user-defined path
Note: To ensure successful initialization file processing,
use all syntax examples exactly as described.
