Installation

Important: you must have administrative rights to install the program. To properly install Cobian Reflector, simply run the crSetup.exe program. Choose a directory to install, for example C:\Cobian Reflector and select the installation mode:

As a service: This option will be enabled as the recommended one. You will be prompted if you want to run the service under the local system account or some other account. If you are accessing network resources, you cannot run the service under the system account and the service must be run under another existing account, with the necessary privileges to access the network.

As an application, autostart for all users: This option installs the program as an application, and starts it automatically when any user logs on.

As an application, autostart for the current user: This option installs the program as an application, and starts it automatically when the current user logs on.

As an application, no autostart: The application must be manually started from the icon in the start- menu.

See the FAQ if you have problems when installing as a service.

To uninstall the program, go to the Control panel- Add/delete program and select Cobian Reflector.

Unattended installations


If you select the option "Create script for unattended installations", then when the setup is done, a file with the name Cobian Reflector.crauto will be created and placed in the same directory where the setup was launched from. When you are ready to install the program in some other machine, then simply launch the setup with the Cobian Reflector.crauto file present in the same directory. Then, the setup will automatically perform the installation using the same settings used for the first installation.

a. If you put an ini file (Cobian Reflector.ini) in the same directory where you launch the setup from, and the installation is unattended, then this ini file will be copied and used by the program after the installation.

b. If  you put a list with the same name than the one you have in the previous ini file in your setup directory, this list will be copied into the Lists directory and it will then be used as the current list.

For example, having

Current list=d:\Cobian Reflector\Lists\Test.lst

and putting Test.lst in the same directory where your unattended setup is will result in that list being copied to the Lists directory and used as the current list.

Indicating a malformed or illegal Current list parameter *will* cause the program to crash. Modify only if you *know* what you are doing!!!
