If you have already recorded a response file, you can edit it for subsequent installations or use it as a base for a new configuration.
The command-line switch for using an existing configuration is:
/use_config:<previousparameterfile>
where <previousparameterfile> is the location of the previously recorded configuration.
This cannot be the same name as the filename used for recording the new installation (the /f1 parameter). The installer makes a copy of the original configuration file with this name and stores the new settings in a file with the original name.
To reconfigure a response file:
- Open a Run window and navigate to the location of the smarthelpinstaller.exe file.
- Select the smarthelpinstaller.exe file and click Open.
- In the Open field, click at the end of the command line.
- Enter /r /f1<location of the response file>\smarthelpsetup.iss /use_config:<previousparameterfile> and click OK.
- Select the language for the installer and click OK.
- Click Next on the Welcome screen.
- Select a destination location for the installation. This location is pre-populated from the previous response file. Click Next.
- Add or remove the URLs for the SmartHelp subscription pages. These URLs should point to the registration location (cdd.html) of the SmartHelp source Players.
Example: https://server/path/cdd.html
- Click Add to add the source to the list. Repeat as necessary to add sources. Select the Source URL and click Remove to remove it from the list.
- Select the Restrict subscriptions to specified URLs only option to prevent the users from adding new subscriptions. Click Next.
- On the Configuration Settings screen, select the user language and the hot keys, and click Next.
Note: At minimum, you must select a function key for a hot key. Each browser can have its own hot key combination.
- On the Ready to Install screen, click Install.
- On the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen, click Finish. The new installation options are recorded in the specified file.
