You create or load Setup configuration files using Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 Setup. You can directly edit these XML files.
Setup configuration files contain two types of settings.
| Setting type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Component | For each component, there are three separate values, all displayed on a single line: - ShowOptionNode Specifies whether the component should be displayed in Setup. For silent installs, this parameter is not relevant. - State There are two possible values: Local, indicates that the component is included in the install, and Absent indicates that the component is not included. - Id Identifies the component You can change value for State or ShowOptionNode, but not for Id. Also, you cannot add or remove a component. |
| Parameter | These settings contain configuration information for components. As with Components, you can modify a parameter’s Value, but not its Id. For information about values for pre-configuring Dynamics NAV components using a Setup configuration file, see Configuring Microsoft Dynamics NAV. |
Tip
Dynamics NAV Setup is primarily a tool for installing software, but you can also use it as an editor for creating and modifying Setup configuration files. When you want to edit a Setup configuration file, you have the following options:
- You can edit the file using an XML editor.
- You can load it into Setup, make the desired modifications, and then save it. You do not need to install any software during this process.
