Options that modify the default values for the main
parameters of the installation package (see Step

manually enter the same preferences for each new project.
Name
-- Eg: "CyberInstaller Suite
2008"
Software title that will be distributed.
Some programs include
the version number in the title of the software, others prefer to omit
it. Text entered here is
essential and will be used by CyberInstaller
Study for the package/current project (for example, as the
name you give the file the first rescue plan, it is suggested the text
inserted here). In addition to the end user will be shown during
the installation process, which then will refer to this text in order
to know the name of which is about to install.
Note: Do not use the following characters: \ /: *? "<> |
Author's name or the
software company that distributes software that will be distributed.
The input text is crucial, as
will be shown to the end user during the installation process and
consequently they will refer to it to contact the vendor of the
application that is about to install.
Install read-only - Default: No
If checked the installation
will be in "read only".
This means that the end user may not modify any
parameters when installing the software (eg the destination folder,
etc..), Just accept the default parameters proposed, established during
the creation of the package. This parameter allows
you to create installation wizard where the user is limited only to the
parameters set when creating the package, avoiding in this way,
possible errors due to unorthodox choices of the user. This parameter,
when used in conjunction with "Installing
minimal interaction" allows you to create installation wizard
where the user is limited only to the parameters set when creating the
package, avoiding in this way, possible errors due to unorthodox
choices of the user.
Note:
this parameter takes effect only with the Professional version of CyberInstaller.
Installing silently - Default: No
If checked the installation
will be in silent mode, ie does not display anything the user only the
necessary steps to collect the information (destination folder). Will be used only the
parameters set when creating the package.
Note:
this parameter takes effect only with the Professional version of CyberInstaller.
If checked the installation
will be displayed to the user only the necessary steps to collect the
information (destination folder) and any other documentation (if
inserted). This reduces the
installation wizard to the sole request of the destination folder,
removing the burden to the end user to answer questions at times
outside his jurisdiction.
This parameter, when used in
conjunction with "Remove
read-only" allows you to create installation wizard where the
user is limited only to the parameters set when creating the package,
avoiding in this way, possible errors due to unorthodox choices user.
Note:
this parameter takes effect only with the Professional version of CyberInstaller.
System roll-back - Default: Yes
If
checked will activate the system roll-back of CyberInstaller.
This system is the ability for the end user to
restore any components of
the system overwritten during the installation (such as OCX controls,
libraries, ActiveX, etc..) Simply by removing the software installed. If you do not enable the system to roll-back,
removing the software may not recover files overwritten, because the
replaced versions have been stored. Conversely, ratings in the installation phase will
create a folder called "Roll-back" in your chosen destination/confirmed
by the user, which will copy all the files overwritten components,
allowing the restoration being removed. In any case, will always
enable the end user, both during installation that being removed, the
system roll-back (during installation only if the parameters "Remove read-only", "Install minimal interaction"
or "Silent Installation"
are not enabled).
Restarting Windows - Default: No
If checked at the end
of the installation process you will be prompted to restart the system.
This can be useful on occasions when you need a
forced restart Windows to activate the changes made to the system
during installation of the software. Normally you never need to reboot the system. In all cases, the
user will receive, to confirm restarting the system or the conclusion
of the installation without reboot.
Delete credits SilverCyberTech - Default: No
If checked the claims
of the author of CyberInstaller
(SilverCyberTech) will be removed from the window "Information" of CyberInstaller. This
can be useful if you do not want to confuse the user with references to
a manufacturer that has nothing to do with the distribution of the
package in question, but you want the only credits display of your own
(ie the text entered in the "manufacturer/author
application" and values "Custom Credit"
in step documentation).
Note:
If this option is enabled, but no credits are
added to the custom step "Documentation"
button "?" not be present
during the installation process.
