Chapter 4 Custom Software Installation; Making A Custom Cisco 800 Fast Step Cd-Rom; Customize The Wizard - Cisco 800 Design Manual

Custom Software Installation
This chapter describes the mechanics of creating a custom Cisco 800 Fast Step CD-ROM, modifying
the application window help files, changing the splash screen bitmaps, and providing Belle System
support.

Making a Custom Cisco 800 Fast Step CD-ROM

You can customize the wizard so that the end user builds the configuration you want, or you can provide
a custom configuration file, placed in a country directory from which the end user can select the file.
The Cisco 800 Fast Step CD-ROM contains Cisco 800 Fast Step software. The Installshield installation
wizard displays the default language of the Windows operating system. The first screen of the
installation application asks the user which language to use for installation, and the corresponding
language for Cisco 800 Fast Step is installed.

Customize the Wizard

When it is launched, the Setup wizard looks for the autoload.CFG file and display screens and builds a
configuration based on the parameters the file allows. One advantage of this method is that you can
reduce the number of options available to the end user, yet allow the end user to configure the router by
using the wizard.
To build a CD with a customized wizard:
Make a directory on your hard drive, and copy the contents of the Cisco 800 Fast Step CD into the
Step 1
directory. (Maintain the same directory structure.)
Draft a Cisco 800 Fast Step filename.CFG file as described in the "CFG File Development" chapter.
Step 2
(TPL files do not work.)
Rename the filename.CFG file autoload.CFG.
Step 3
Copy the autoload.CFG file to the root directory.
Step 4
Burn a new CD-ROM by using the files on your hard disk.
Step 5
This new installation automatically starts with the settings you created. When the CD is placed into the
drive, Windows looks in the autorun.inf file to determine which language to run.
