3.6.2 Preparations for installing HDLM by performing an unattended installation
An unattended installation allows a user to install HDLM without needing to enter
information into dialog boxes. Instead, the user defines the required dialog box information
in an installation-information settings file prior to installation. The unattended installation
procedure is as follows:
1. Define the information required for the installation in the installation-information
settings file.
2. Execute installhdlm.exe to start installing HDLM.
3. Information is automatically entered into dialog boxes according to the contents of the
installation-information settings file.
4. The installation ends. A log is output, showing the status and result of the installation.
This section describes the following aspects of an unattended installation:
 How to define an installation-information settings file
 Installation information settings
 Log files
 Notes on installation
For details on how to install HDLM by using an unattended installation, see section
3.6.3.1.
3.6.2.1 How to define an installation-information settings file
In an installation-information settings file, you need to define the license key file name,
installation destination folder, and other keys that are required for installation. A sample of
an installation-information settings file (installhdml.ini) is included in the supplied CD-
ROM. To create a new settings file, simply copy and edit this sample.
To edit the installation-information settings file (installhdml.ini):
1. Create a copy of installhdml.ini, which is located in the supplied CD-ROM, and
move it to any folder.
Location of installhdml.ini:
drive-to-which-the-installation-CD-ROM-is-inserted:\DLMTools
2. Use a text editor to edit the copy of installhdml.ini that was created in step 1.
Items that need to be defined in the installation-information settings file
(installhdml.ini) are described in section
3.6.2.2 below.
3. Save installhdml.ini.
3.6.2.2 Items to be defined in an installation-information settings file
