Installation options
|
| 24 |
--------------------
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* PuTTY executables (plink.exe, putty.exe, etc) can be run 'standalone',
|
| 27 |
i.e. without a package being installed. Quest Software recommends that
|
| 28 |
the MSI package be installed where possible.
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
* The directory to create shortcuts in can be chosen during installation
|
| 31 |
by overriding the SHORTCUTFOLDER property. This is done from a Command
|
| 32 |
Prompt, like so:
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
C:\> MSIEXEC /i Quest-Putty.msi SHORTCUTFOLDER="C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Quest PuTTY"
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Alternatively, a transform file (.MST) can be used.
