FS Install - Customise install of Freedom Scientific product
Problem
An IT technician may be tasked with installing Freedom Scientific BLV products JAWS/ZoomText/Fusion for an organisation that requires customisation of the install with particular pre-configured settings upon install.
Affected products
- JAWS
- ZoomText
- Fusion
Application
To customise the install for deployment in organisational settings
Resolution
Please review the below steps to carry out customisation of the install.
- Ensure you have the installer package contained within a folder that is conveniently located.
- Then run the installer with the /ExtractAdditionalSettings command line argument. The command line should look similar to below:
PackageName.exe /ExtractAdditionalSettings [INI filename] [Setup type]
Where:
PackageName.exe = product installer with full path to installer
[path to INI file] = INI filename
[Setup type] = the following:
Default
DisableExternalServices
/Language
Tip
To obtain the path for the installer highlight the file and press control+shift+f10 and choose Copy as path in the context menu. When specifying the path for the /ExtractAdditionalSettings switch use the same path as the installer for convenience running the installer again.
- When run as above the command will extract a settings INI file to the same location as the folder.
- Open the INI file to make ammendments to customise install options and save the file.
- Then run the installer without any argument and this should then refer to the amended INI file during installation.
