During packaging or remote installation, if you change the package information such as Install directory or User name, the PACKAGE_INFO section in the AIT file is updated automatically. However, such information in the MAIN section is not updated. To prevent the change of package information from affecting the MAIN section, you can use global variables provided by JP1/Software Distribution as required, instead of hard-coding such information.
The following gives the available global variables for JP1/Software Distribution.
| Global variable for JP1/Software Distribution | Description |
|---|---|
| InstallerName | This is the installer name specified in the PACKAGE_INFO section. You cannot change this value during packaging or remote installation. Note that, during remote installation, this variable contains the installer name including the path name of the installation work directory on the client. Therefore, the value during remote installation differs from the value during AIT file debugging. |
| InstallDrive | This is replaced with the installation drive name specified during packaging or remote installation. The default is the installation drive name specified in the PACKAGE_INFO section. |
| InstallDirectory | This is replaced with the installation directory name specified during packaging or remote installation. The default is the installation directory name specified in the PACKAGE_INFO section. |
| InstallPoint | This is replaced with a combination of InstallDrive and InstallDirectory, that is, the installation path directory including the drive name. |
| EUser | This is replaced with the user name specified during packaging or remote installation. |
| ECompany | This is replaced with the company name specified during packaging or remote installation. |
| SerialNumber | This is replaced with the serial number specified during packaging or remote installation. It is used to type in the license key. |
| IconGroupName | This is replaced with the icon group name specified during packaging or remote installation. It is used to change the icon group. |
The following figure shows an example of using global variables.
