For example, you can configure the following:
● Which directories have been checked how many times for new setup packages.
● That installations are not started automatically while certain software is active.
The priority concept of this configuration file is the same as that of the other configuration files.
Further information: Directory structure and file conventions (Page 178)
You can also deactivate settings in PCUInst.ini by deleting the value of the key in the higher
priority configuration file. For example, to deactivate DIR002=C:\Setup in a file of lower
priority, enter DIR002= in the file with higher priority.
Note
Maximum length of the file path
The file path to a setup must not exceed 255 characters (including the file name).

Description
Specifies the local setup directories on the PC system to be checked.

Specifies the setup directories on removable data storage media to be checked.
The directories must not be write-protected.
You can specify several directories, which are then checked in the specified order.
You define the order with a number after "DIR".

If you do not know the drive letters to be checked, use the <REMOVABLE_MEDIA> drive
variable, e.g.:
DIR001=<REMOVABLE_MEDIA>:\Install
The drive variable then represents all the removable data storage media that are
known at the time in Windows. You can also specify fixed drive letters without the
directories being checked twice.
The drive variable is only valid in the [removable_setupdirs] section.
Specifies the setup directories on network drives to be checked.
The directories must not be write-protected.
