Platform Path Override

After a platform path override is set by a call to SetupSetPlatformPathOverrideZ7JFJM, any setup function that queues file copy operations will examine the final component of the source path. If the final component matches the name of the user s platform, the setup function will replace it with the override string set by SetPlatformPathOverride.

For example, when installing printer drivers onto a MIPS server, you might want to install drivers for all supported platforms. Queueing the files normally would install the files specified in the MIPS-dependent sections of the INF file, with source paths such as \\root\source\mips.

To install the files for a second platform, you must call SetupSetPlatformPathOverride to set a platform override. The following example shows the specific function call to set the platform to Alpha.

test = SetupSetPlatformPathOverride( alpha );

After you set the platform to Alpha, file copy operations sent to the queue with a source path of \\root\source\mips would have their source path changed to \\root\source\alpha. You would repeat this process for each platform of interest.
