Installation mechanics

During the installation process, the installation wizard automatically creates a BlueZone folder in the All Users common folder. Table 1 lists the available operating systems and the All Users location.

Table 1: All Users common folder locations
Operating system	Location
Windows XP SP3	C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BlueZone\6.1
Windows Vista and higher	C:\Users\All Users\BlueZone\6.1

Any BlueZone profiles (configuration files) that you placed in the image are automatically copied from the All Users folder to the \BlueZone\Config folder in the working directory. The first time a user starts a BlueZone session or starts the BlueZone Session Manager, the BlueZone profiles are automatically copied to the working directory location specified during installation.

For example, if during the installation you used the default settings, your user's working files are placed in their My Documents folder.

...\My Documents\BlueZone\Config

Any BlueZone Scripts (.bzs, .vbs, and so on) that you placed in the image are automatically copied to the \BlueZone\Scripts folder. The first time a user starts a BlueZone session or starts the BlueZone Session Manager, the BlueZone scripts are automatically copied to the location specified during installation.

For example, if during the installation you used the default settings, your user's working files are placed in their My Documents folder.

...\My Documents\BlueZone\Scripts

In addition to the above mentioned files, any other included files are copied to their respective folders.

This feature is very helpful when you are pushing out a BlueZone installation image using software management software to many desktop machines and you want each user's working files to be stored in their own My Documents folder, even if multiple users use the same machine.

Important: Keep in mind that when you are finished creating your distribution image, it must have a completely flat file structure. It must not contain any folders. All BlueZone files must be at the same level.

Tip: You can use the BlueZone distribution image to create a self-extracting installation file by using a combination of WinZip and WinZip Self Extractor. To do this, change the quiet mode installation setting in the setup.ini file to Yes.

BlueZone supports both text-format and binary-format profiles. You can change the profile format from the File Properties window. From the BlueZone menu bar, click File → Properties → Options, and select Binary or Text from the Profile Formatdrop-down list. If you select Text (default), you can edit the profile in any text editor. Here is an example of a text-format profile:

[TN3270E\Connection 0]

Connection Name="Home"

Host Address="host01.mydomain.com"

LU Name=""

TCP Port=0x0017

Backup Connection Name="None"

Enable TN3270E=1

Enable Extensions=0
