How to: Preconfigure Components

You can preconfigure components before you install Microsoft Dynamics NAV so that you do not have to configure them after. You can also configure Setup components and then save them to Setup configuration files before you deploy them to users. For more information, see How to: Create or Load a Setup Configuration File.

To associate configuration settings with a component before installing

  1. In Setup, on the Specify parameters pane, supply all settings for the listed components.

    Two settings that you see on the Specify parameters pane are not related to a particular component:

    • The Destination Folder (x86) setting specifies where Setup installs 32-bit Microsoft Dynamics NAV components such as the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

    • The Destination Folder setting specifies where Setup installs 64-bit Microsoft Dynamics NAV components such as Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.

  2. For information about parameters for a configurable component, see one of the following:

  3. When you have finished configuring a component, choose Apply to validate your settings. If there are issues with the settings that you have selected, then information about these issues is displayed on the Problems were identified for this configuration pane.
