Copying and adapting the configuration file

You can define PCU Installer operation in the associated configuration file. To do this, you must
first copy the configuration file to a user directory.

(Page 233).
For example, you can configure the following in the configuration file:
● Which directories have been checked how many times for new setup packages.
● That installations are not started automatically while certain software is active.
A list of all setting options can be found under Reference to the PCUInst.ini configuration file
(Page 236).
