Common parameters

The following table lists the parameters that control the general behavior of Setup. For example, the parameters are used to specify a parameter file, display or hide the Setup wizard, and specify the location of all related files.

Parameter

Default value

Description

AcceptLicenseTerms

0

Specify whether you want to accept the terms of the license agreement.

  • 0 – Don’t accept the license terms.

  • 1 – Accept the license terms.

If HideUI=1, AcceptLicenseTerms must be set to 1. If AcceptLicenseTerms=0, an error message is displayed, and installation can’t continue.

Important

Only models that are published by Microsoft are covered under the license terms for Microsoft Dynamics AX.

LogDir

See the description.

Specify where the log files for the Setup, Setup Support, and Windows installers are saved.

By default, the following path is used:

%<Program Files>%\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Setup Logs\YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM-SS

Note

When log files are saved to the default location, they are arranged in dated folders to protect existing log files from being overwritten. If you override the default LogDir value, the logs are saved to the exact folder that you specify. Any existing log file in that folder is overwritten.

The path can be fully qualified, or it can be relative to the location of the Setup.exe file. Relative paths can include upward qualifiers, such as "..\..\".

InstallPath

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60

Specify the root path for all Microsoft Dynamics AX files that are installed on a computer.

InstallPath32Bit

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60

Specify the root path for all 32-bit Microsoft Dynamics AX files that are installed on a computer. This parameter is valid only when you install Microsoft Dynamics AX components on a 64-bit operating system. You can’t specify the same path for both 64-bit and 32-bit files.

In the parameter file, each parameter's Name=Value combination must be on a separate line. You can use ExampleParmFile.txt, which is available in the DVD\Support folder, as an example.

Note

Don’t include double quotation marks in parameter files. Because line returns are used as delimiters in a parameter file, values that otherwise require double quotation marks don’t require them here.

To prevent a line in a parameter file from being run, type a number sign (#) before the line.

The path can be fully qualified, or it can be relative to the location of the Setup.exe file. Relative paths can include upward qualifiers, such as "..\..\".
