Installing and setting up PCU Base for IPC
10.4 Installing and configuring updates and automation software
In this procedure example, it is assumed that you have already performed the following steps:
● You have activated the PCU Installer
● You have activated the checking of the network directories in the settings of the PCU
Installer and defined an additional setup directory on a network drive.
In the example: F:\Setup with F: as network drive.
● You have stored a setup file in this additional setup directory (e.g. F:\Setup\Update.exe).
● The setup directory is not write-protected.
Example: Activities of the PCU Installer during installation of a network drive
● The defined setup directories are checked.
● The Update.exe file is found in the F:\Setup directory.
As the Update.exe file has not been installed yet, there is no setup-specific log file in the
directory.
● The Update.exe file is copied to a local temporary directory, e.g. D:\Install39\Update.exe
● The copied setup file is executed from the local temporary directory, e.g.
D:\Install39\Update.exe.
● Log files are created after completion of the installation:
– The general log files are extended
– The setup-specific log file is created in the original setup directory F:\Setup and in the

Log files (.log)
In order to be able to track which setup packages and updates have been installed at any time,
the activities of the PCU Installer are recorded in various log files.
Setup-specific log files
A separate setup-specific log file is created for each setup package that is executed by the
PCU Installer. The name of the setup and the name of the computer are entered in the file name
of the log.
Archiving
File name
If you activate the checkSetupLogFile= setting in the "PCUInst.ini" configuration file
(Page 236), then the setup-specific log file prevents the same setup being installed several
times on the same computer. The check is performed based on the computer name and the
setup name.

local temporary directory D:\Install39
The setup directory in which the associated setup file was originally
located, and (if copied by the setup) the local temporary directory.
The log file is designated according to the following scheme:
<name of the setup file>@<computer name>.log, e.g. Up‐
date@MyIPC.log
