ResponseFiles Section of Original.sxp

The ResponseFiles section specifies the absolute file paths of the response files. The entries enables the Installer to process client parameters included in the response files.

The ResponseFiles section can have the following entries:

RFilen

Specifies the absolute file path of the nth response file.

Example

The Microsoft Office product can be installed unattended, if you provide a response file, such as MySetup.stf, as a parameter when Setup is called. This response file contains information such as the root directory in which the product is to be installed, and must be included with the product.

You can write a script that modifies the response file for a specific target computer.

If you copy the response file directly into the version directory, you must insert the following lines in the ResponseFiles section:

#ResponseFiles#
Rfile1="$(SxpSrvRelDir)\MySetup.stf"

On the target computer, the internal $(SxpSrvRelDir) parameter refers to the path on the manager where the product to be installed is stored.

After being modified by the associated script file, the response file is saved by the Installer in a temporary directory. The path of this locally modified file is supplied by the internal $(SxpRFile1) parameter.
