Export custom installer configuration
When creating an installation package with the Custom installer manager, an installer file is necessary to determine what to include in the installation configuration. Creating an installer file for each new version is risky since you have to repeat the process manually every time. Instead, it is possible to create the configuration once, save the resulting .rdi file, and reuse it as many times as needed.
Creating an installer file
Head to Tools – All tools – Custom installer, click on Export custom installer configuration.
Check/uncheck options according what is needed and select the workspaces to be included. See RDI file generation options for more information about the different options to choose from.
Click Export, then save the
.rdifile locally.
This file can be used in the Custom installer manager when creating an installation package.
For more information on how to create a custom installer package, please consult Custom installer manager.
Remote Desktop Manager for macOS does not support the custom installer. Only a .cfg file can be used; .rdi and .msi files are not available on macOS.
