3. Save the file with the name InstInfo. To save the file, type the file name within double quotes (“InstInfo”).
Make sure you select All Files option in the Save as type box in the Save dialog box. The file should be
saved in the same directory where the SSTPAK file is saved.
NOTE: While making changes in the sample InstInfo file, make sure that you leave a space after the colon.
The following parameters in the sample Instinfo file needs to be modified.
