SUMMARY
After performing an Administrative Setup to a network directory, you can perform a batch mode installation (SETUP /Q) that does a minimum install rather than a complete install. The steps below describe how to do this.



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:

Foxset16.stf

Foxset32.stf

Foxset95.stf

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 indicates where the tab characters should be in each line.

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

Change this line: 13 Yes &Complete Install all files for Microsoft Visual FoxPro Group 26 28 29 30 31 32 33 "foxsetup.dll,  103" to this line: 13 No &Complete Install all files for Microsoft Visual FoxPro Group 26 28 29 30 31 32 33 "foxsetup.dll,  103"   Change the second column in the following line from No to Yes.

Change this line: 15 No &Laptop (Minimum) Install just the minimum set of  files needed to run Microsoft Visual FoxPro. Group 26 "foxsetup.dll, 105" to this line: 15 Yes &Laptop (Minimum) Install just the minimum set of  files needed to run Microsoft Visual FoxPro. Group 26 "foxsetup.dll, 105"
