To preconfigure your SuperCROSS installation so that users do not need to enter the license key during the install, add your key to the [Preset] section. For example:

[Preset]
string=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY

To add your own SXV4 files so that they are automatically installed with SuperCROSS, do the following for each SXV4:

1. Copy the SXV4 and any additional files that it requires to a location within the unzipped SuperCROSS installation files. Additional files includes anything that needs to be installed in the same directory as the SXV4, such as metadata files, weightings, confidentiality, mapping, predefined TXDs and default recodes.

   You can save your databases anywhere within the installation files, but to make it easier to manage, you are recommended to use the databases directory. You may wish to create a subdirectory for each individual SXV4.

2. Edit the [1 Databases] section of the product.ini file to include the ID and path for each of your new databases:

   TEXT

   [1 Databases]
   <database_id>=<relative_path>

   Where <database_id> is the filename of the SXV4 (without the .sxv4 extension) and <relative_path> is the path to the directory containing the SXV4 relative to the location of setup.exe. For example, if you have added an SXV4 file called MyCustomDB.sxv4 to a directory called CustomDB with the databases directory, you need to add the following to [1 Databases]:

   TEXT

   MyCustomDB=\databases\CustomDB\

3. Add the file size of your SXV4 (in bytes) to the [Database Sizes] section of product.ini. You can find out the size in bytes by right-clicking the SXV4 file and selecting Properties:

   TEXT

   [Database Sizes]
   <database_id>=<size_in_bytes>

   For example:

   TEXT

   MyCustomDB=35000281

4. Add the display name of the SXV4 to the [Database Names] section of product.ini. The display name is the name that you want to appear in the SuperCROSS Catalogue window:

   TEXT

   [Database Names]
   <display_name>=<database_id>

   For example:

   TEXT

   My Custom Data=MyCustomDB

5. Add your database to the [Catalogue] section of product.ini and specify a folder name. Your SXV4 files will be available inside this folder within the Local Access section of the Catalogue window.

   TEXT

   [Catalogue]
   <display name>=<folder>

   For example:

   TEXT

   My Custom Data=Example Folder

6. (Optional). If the database uses mapping, add an entry to the [Mapdata Databases] section:

   TEXT

   [Mapdata Databases]
   <display_name>=true

   For example:

   TEXT

   My Custom Data=true

Edit the [General] section of product.ini to change the names that are used when SuperCROSS is installed.

For example:

Application Name=Data Tabulation Tool
Setup Name=Data Tab Tool Setup
Folder Name=SuperSTAR\Products
Start Name=SuperCROSS
Organisation=My Organisation Name

If you do not want to bundle the sample databases (Retail Banking and People), then you can remove these from the installer:

1. Delete the files from the installer databases directory.
2. Remove all references to them from the product.ini file. Make sure you remove them from all the sections (including the catalogue, map data, database names and databases sizes).

The splash screen displays when the installer first starts. To replace the default branding with your own splash screen, replace the file setup.bmp with your own image. Your replacement image must be:

• Windows Bitmap format.
• 480 x 369 pixels.
• Less than 256 colours.

During the installation process, there are two screens that display showing information about the product. To replace the default branding with your own images, replace the files bbrd1.bmp and bbrd2.bmp in the product directory. Your replacement images must be:

• Windows Bitmap format.
• 498 x 282 pixels.
• Less than 256 colours.

The user guide is stored in product\Help\SuperCROSS\user_guide. You can replace the supplied HTML files with your own user guide content by replacing the files in this directory.

The index to your user guide must be named index.html.

Edit the super.ini configuration file (located in the product directory) to customise the support email address that is linked from the Help > E-mail Support menu option.

If there are any other default SuperCROSS settings you want to change, edit the configuration files. For example, you may want to change settings in the cross.ini configuration file and the super.ini file. Both of these are located in the product directory of the installation files.
