3 Installation
For example, if you want to set a new directory for
installing combustion, and use a network license
with the serial number 123-12345678, you need to
make three entries to the Settings.ini file in the
variables section:
[Variables]
0=TargetDir||c:\Program Files\
discreet\newDirectory
1=LicenseType||0
2=SerialNumber||123-12345678
If the combustion.lic file is present in the same
directory as the combustionSetup.exe file, the
combustion.lic file is copied to the TargetDir folder.
The combustion.lic file is required for combustion
to find the network license. combustion sends a
message to the AdLM server listed in the
combustion.lic file through the network protocol and
requests a license. See "Obtaining and Setting Up a
License File" in Chapter 4, "License Server
Configuration''.
If combustion is already installed, invoking
combustionSetup.exe -s
combustion 4.
Silently Uninstalling combustion
The following command silently removes
combustion 4:
%Comspec% /c %Windir%\unvise32.exe -s
C:\Program Files\discreet\ combustion
4\uninstal.log
%Windir%\unvise32.exe
which is copied to the %Windir% ( c:\Windows or
c:\WINNT) when combustion is first installed.
instructs the installer to run silently, without user

Sample Batch File to Install
combustion
If you share the CD-ROM drive or a copy of the
image on a networked PC, you can use the same
batch file for all the workstations on your network.
For example, if your workstation name is pc1 and
you copied the entire contents of cd1 to a folder you
shared as \\pc1\combustion 4disc1
In that folder you can create in the \\pc1\combustion
4disc1 folder the Settings.ini file and set the options
you want.
The installation batch routine would look like:
REM Combustion 4
%Comspec% /c combustionSetup.exe -s
Deploying combustion on a Network
Now that you have a batch routine that you tested on
your local workstation, you are ready to install
combustion on all the other network rendering
workstations.
Instead of going to each workstation and run your
batch routine
\\pc1\myshare\install_combustion4.
