How to Make Batch Mode Setup Install Minimum Files

MORE INFORMATION

An Administrative Setup creates a network directory structure containing the files suitable for installing Visual FoxPro to network clients. You can automate the client installation by running Setup.exe in a batch mode. This is accomplished by connecting to the network directory containing the Administrative Setup files and running Setup.exe with the /Q command line parameter. By default, this will perform a complete install. To perform a minimum install instead, you need to modify the following three files in the Administrative Setup directory: You can edit these files with most text editors. However, the MS-DOS Editor (Edit.com) should not be used because it changes tabs to spaces.

Below are the two lines that need to be changed. The change involves changing the second column in the indicated line to Yes or No, as needed. Note that <tab> indicates where the tab characters should be in each line.

1. Change the second column in the following line from Yes to No.
   
   Change this line:

      13<tab>Yes<tab>&Complete<tab>Install all files for Microsoft Visual
      FoxPro<tab>Group<tab>26 28 29 30 31 32 33<tab>"foxsetup.dll,
      103"<tab><tab><tab><tab>

      FoxPro<tab>Group<tab>26 28 29 30 31 32 33<tab>"foxsetup.dll,
      103"<tab><tab><tab><tab>
   							

2. Change the second column in the following line from No to Yes.
