Reference to the PCUInst.ini configuration file

You can define PCU Installer operation in the associated PCUInst.ini configuration file.
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,
see Directory structure and file conventions (Page 14).
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).
