Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Setup supports pre-configuration of components in advance of installation, so that administrators can customize Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 components before deploying them to users.
After you have finished configuring components, you have two options:
-
Click Install to begin copying software.
CautionIn this case, you cannot reuse your configuration information. Setup does not prompt you to save your configuration settings.
-
Click Save the configuration in the Specify parameters pane.
For information about saving and loading Setup configuration files, see How to: Create or Load a Setup Configuration File.
