Semiautomatic installation
The Setup.ini file can be used to semi-automate the installation of octoplant applications. By taking some of the settings from this file, the installation can be carried out with the same settings on multiple computers quickly and easily. First, the Setup.ini file must be copied into the same directory as the Setup.exe file.
