Install

This entry specifies the build or rather the installation package information. Any string value is acceptable, but there are some recommendations, more information is available through your support contact.

This entry contains the full path to the configuration. This value is usually not specified, will use default based on what is suitable for each platform. For Windows platforms the default location is a configuration file in the installation folder, but it may be useful to move the entire configuration to Registry to be able to use GPO.

If the Registry is used software\policies will always be read first to check for GPO settings before other configurations are read. At the moment this only applies for a limited number of configurations that are included in the GPO policy template supplied by Pointsharp.

This entry contains the full path to the current installation.

This entry contains the product name used by an OEM installation.

This entry contains a list of installed product names, used during uninstall to remove everything after an upgrade between OEM and normal installation.

This entry contains the complete version number in eight digits, two for each part:

The <major> and <minor> values specify a release, for example 05 and 04 for release 5.4.

The <fix> number always starts from 0 for first release and if there is any eventual problems found for the release which requires a new version, this value is increased, for example first fix for 5.4 is 5.4.1.

The <build> number starts from 1 for first build for a specific <major> and <minor> value. This value is increased for each delivered build. For example, for 5.4 was the first BETA 5.4.0.10, first RC was 5.4.0.20. The final 5.4 and 5.4.1 releases have the values 5.4.0.26 respective 5.4.1.34.
