Slimmed down Standalone Installer?
Posted: Fri Dec 12, 2014 9:08 pm
I can understand if its not feasible but I was just curious if its possible to customize the oXygen Author standalone installer (oxygenAuthor.exe). Or at least provide some parameters to the installer to tell it not to deploy some things. I know there is a portable version and a multi platform tar.
Its nice to run the installer so that oXygen is in the start menu and associated with file types. Almost 80% of the files the installer deploys though are not needed.
Our writers only work in DITA files and we have a customized DITA-OT version and JRE already. So the DITA-OT, JRE, and docbook that gets deployed are not needed.
It would make the deployment and install much faster without those things.
Perhaps it might be better to just use the multi platform tar and make a batch file to copy to PC, add start menu item, and associate file types.
Thanks,
