Enforcing configuration options

Certain application configuration parameters can be stored and retrieved during the installation procedure from the product.config file. This is an XML file that among others stores the parameters for language selection, directories, usage tracing, licensing information, and global variables.

[Note] Note

After the installation of Loftware, product.config file is stored in folder c:\ProgramData\Loftware\Loftware\.

The product.config file allows you to enforce configuration setting as the application is being installed. Use the product.config file from a computer with already installed Loftware and deploy it on additional computers.

To do so, follow the steps below:

  1. OpenLoftware Designer.

  2. Set the application configuration options (go to File > Options) and close it.

  3. Copy the product.config file from c:\ProgramData\Loftware\Loftware\ next to the installation executable.

  4. Run setup. The product.config file is automatically copied to the c:\ProgramData\Loftware\Loftware\ folder.

[Note] Note

Configuration options that relate to a specific user profile, override the parameters from product.config file.
