Deploying A Customised Framework Initialisation File

  • Right-click in Windows Explorer and select Paste. A copy of the file will be created.
    Two copies of the file are now available:

    • Framework.ini

  • Right-click the framework.ini file and select Open or Edit. Microsoft Notepad will open

  • Edit the initialisation file.

  • Save the initialisation file.

  • Close the file.

If deploying multiple Framework applications, copy the framework.ini file to the setup folders for all Framework applications:
