Client Parameters and Packager Scripts are Required

Symptom:

Why Do I Require Client Parameters and Packager Scripts?

Solution:

You can use client parameters and scripts (written in the Packager script language) to enable flexible control of product installation or uninstallation on the target computers. Client parameters and scripts make possible both high-performance and a high degree of customization. You can use parameters for the following purposes:

• To standardize different types of target computers, including consultant workstation, point-of-sale system, information system, and computer groups.
• For system parameters, such as IP address, system name, and port names.
• To control the Installer software within the archive files. For example, you can specify installation paths, dependency definitions, and registry entries.
• For interactive control of scripts.
• To make general product-specific files more flexible, for example, by using batch files and PERL scripts.
• As a source of information to enable target computer-specific response files to be created from general product response files.
