Set Custom Defaults for the Installation Program

To set the CA ControlMinder installation program with the defaults you want to use for your company, you can use the command line. The graphical installation program accepts input from the command line that determines which options are preselected.

To set custom defaults for the installation program

1. Log in to the Windows system as a user with Windows administrative privileges (that is, as the Windows administrator or a member of the Windows Administrators group.)
2. Close any applications that are running on your Windows system.
3. Insert the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for Windows DVD into your optical disc drive.

   The CA ControlMinder Product Explorer appears if you have autorun enabled.

4. Close the Product Explorer if it appears.
5. Open a command line and navigate to the following directory on the optical disc drive:

   \architecture
   

   architecture

   Defines the architecture abbreviation for your operating system.

   Can be one of X86, X64, and IA64.

6. Enter the following command:

   setup [/s] /v"<insert_params_here>"
   

   The <insert_params_here> variable specifies the installation settings you want to pass to the installation program.

   The installation program appears. The installation program screens will show the default options you chose to pass, and lets you modify these to install CA ControlMinder.
