If you have already recorded a response file, you can edit it for subsequent installations or use it as a base for a new configuration.

 

The command-line switch for using an existing configuration is:

 

/use_config:<previousparameterfile>

 

where <previousparameterfile> is the location of the previously recorded configuration.

 

This cannot be the same name as the filename used for recording the new installation (the /f1 parameter). The installer makes a copy of the original configuration file with this name and stores the new settings in a file with the original name.

 

To reconfigure a response file:

  1. Open a Run window and navigate to the location of the smarthelpinstaller.exe file.
     
  2. Select the smarthelpinstaller.exe file and click Open.
     
  3. In the Open field, click at the end of the command line.
     
  4. Enter /r /f1<location of the response file>\smarthelpsetup.iss /use_config:<previousparameterfile> and click OK.
     
  5. Select the language for the installer and click OK.
     
      
  6. Click Next on the Welcome screen.
     
  7. Select a destination location for the installation. This location is pre-populated from the previous response file. Click Next.
     
  8. Add or remove  the URLs for the SmartHelp subscription pages. These URLs should point to the registration location (cdd.html) of the SmartHelp source Players.

    Example: https://server/path/cdd.html
     
  9. Click Add to add the source to the list. Repeat as necessary to add sources. Select the Source URL and click Remove to remove it from the list.
     
  10. Select the Restrict subscriptions to specified URLs only option to prevent the users from adding new subscriptions. Click Next.
     
  11. On the Configuration Settings screen, select the user language and the hot keys, and click Next.

    Note: At minimum, you must select a function key for a hot key. Each browser can have its own hot key combination.
     
  12. On the Ready to Install screen, click Install.
     
  13. On the InstallShield Wizard Complete screen, click Finish. The new installation options are recorded in the specified file.
