Use “Modify User Settings” to Configure Workspace Settings

You can use the Modify User Settings feature in the Installation Customization Tool to deploy Workspace Settings. With this approach, you open the Workspace Settings dialog box from the Installation Customization Tool. The modified settings are automatically saved to your companion file and deployed to the correct directory.

NOTE:You can also create customize the Workspace.settings file by launching the Workspace directly, then creating a companion file as described in Create a Companion Package to Install Customized Settings Files.

To change workspace settings from the Installation Customization Tool

  1. From your administrative installation point, open the Installation Customization Tool from a shortcut or by typing the following command line:

    path_to_setup\setup.exe /admin

  2. From the Select Customization dialog box, select Create a new Companion installer, and then click OK.

  3. From the navigation pane, click Specify install locations.

  4. Under Installation type, select either Installs only for the user who installs it (the default), or Installs to all users of a machine.

  5. On the navigation pane, click Modify user settings.

  6. From the list of Application - Settings, select InfoConnect Desktop - Workspace Settings and then click Define.

    The InfoConnect Workspace Settings dialog box opens in a separate window.

  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to customize additional settings.

  9. Save the companion package file (.msi) and close the Installation Customization Tool. You can deploy the companion file as it is, or you can edit it to add additional files.
