Scripts Timer Modification

If you have long running scripts that may exceed the default PIF timer of ten minutes, you can define a product timer that fits the requirements of the installation script (using the #timer keyword in the prototype file).

For example, a PIF product depends on a compressed non-PIF product that is installed using uncompress, and the installation time of the non-PIF product exceeds the default time limit of ten minutes. In this case, it must be ensured that the non-PIF product is completely installed prior to the main PIF product.

Important! Setting timer values too high may circumvent timeout mechanisms for unattended installations.
