3. If you want to, create and copy a SETUP.ISS file into the directory from
which you tell AutoUpgrade to download new files.
SETUP.ISS is a simple text file that governs how the AutoUpgrade utility
upgrades your software. You can use any standard text editor to create
and save this file.
To specify configuration options in your SETUP.ISS file, use the example
shown below to learn which options you may use. You can cut and paste
this example directly into a text file, then edit and save the file as
SETUP.ISS.
[SuperDATOptions]
bReboot=1
bPrompt=1
szLogFile=C:\temp\mylog.txt
Here's a description of what each statement in the file does:
bReboot=1
This statement tells the SuperDAT utility to restart the target
computer if it must do so in order to finish updating or upgrading
your
anti-virus software. If you do not want the target computer
to restart after it updates your files, set the value of bReboot= to
zero, or remove the statement from SETUP.ISS.
If you do not tell the SuperDAT utility to restart the target computer,
either with this statement in the SETUP.ISS file, from the command
line, or in an update script, it will not do so under any circumstances.
VirusScan software does not require you to restart your system after
you upgrade your engine files or update your .DAT files.
bPrompt=1
This tells the SuperDAT utility to display only the Shut Down
Windows dialog box when it has updated or upgraded your
software.
szLogFile=<PATH\FILENAME>
This option tells the SuperDAT utility to save a log file with the file
name you specify and in the location you specify. By default, the
SuperDAT utility creates a log file in the current working directory.
