Description
The command line for the program, up to 511 characters. This field is required. File
name extensions are strongly recommended.
Click Browse to navigate to the file. By default, the package source directory
appears, if it exists and is accessible. When the program is run on a client, the
command line file name will first be searched for within the package.
•
If the file does not exist there, Configuration Manager searches the local Windows
directory.
•
If Configuration Manager cannot find the file, the program fails.
•
If the file name does not have a file name extension specified, Configuration
Manager tries .pif, .com, .exe, and .bat.
• If the file name has an extension but is not an executable, Configuration Manager
tries to apply a local association. For example, if the command line is readme.gif,
Configuration Manager will start the application specified on the client for
opening .gif files. For example:
setup.exe /a
command.com /c copy Jan98.dat c:\sales\Jan98.dat
Note • On 16-bit clients, batch files MUST specify the .bat file name extension, or the command
line will fail.
The executable directory for the program, up to 127 characters. This directory can be
an absolute path on the client, or a path relative to the distribution point folder that
contains the package. This field is optional. For example:
c:\office97
i386
The program mode. By default, programs run in Normal mode. You can also run a
program in Minimized, Maximized, or Hidden mode.
