Default Values for Parameters

Each parameter used in the PIF product has to be assigned a default value; otherwise, the product creation will fail. These default values are used for the following purposes:

• As the initial values when tasks on the installation dialogs are performed.
• For an unattended installation of the PIF product, if no response file is provided.

In the prototype file, you define default values for parameters in the @DEFAULT section using the keyword #parameter.

Important! When you create a PIF product using one of the standard product templates, default values are already assigned automatically to the parameters.
