Introduction
recommends that you install the Neuron Field Compiler runtime as a visible
installer.
When you run it standalone, the Echelon Neuron Field Compiler installer also
installs the L
ON
M
ARK
Resource Files installer as an embedded installation.
When the Neuron Field Compiler installer runs as an embedded installation, it
does not install the L
ON
M
ARK
resource files. Because the L
ON
M
ARK
resource
files are required by the Neuron Field Compiler, your product installer must
embed the L
ON
M
ARK
Resource Files installer, as described in the next section,
Install the LonMark Resource Files.
The Neuron Field Compiler software product uses the Microsoft Windows
Installer platform. It has an EXE wrapper that ensures that it installs with the
Administrative user privileges that it requires. Use the following command to
launch it with a basic user interface (shows only progress messages) from your
installer:
FieldCompiler400.exe /s /v” /qb REBOOT=R”
This command suppresses user interface dialogs from the wrapper EXE (/s), but
passes the command-line parameters between the quotes to the Windows
Installer msiexec.exe through the /v parameter. These parameters tell the
Windows Installer to run a basic user interface (/qb), and to set the REBOOT
property to the value “R”, which suppresses any reboots that might be needed by
this installation, so that a forced reboot will not disturb the main installation. If
you specify no user interface (/qn) instead of the basic user interface, the
installation is completely silent.
Install the LonMark Resource Files
Neuron C code generated by your application, and compiled into application
images using the Neuron Field Compiler, requires that the standard L
ON
M
ARK
resource files be installed on the computer that will deploy the built images.
You can find the L
ON
M
ARK
Resource Files installation on the L
ON
M
ARK
International Web site,
If
you are licensed to redistribute the Neuron Field Compiler runtime with your
application, you are also licensed to redistribute the L
ON
M
ARK
resource files.
You can install the L
ON
M
ARK
resource files with a visible installer to provide
your end users with progress cues during installation.
The L
ON
M
ARK
Resource Files software product uses the Microsoft Windows
Installer platform. It has an EXE wrapper that ensures that it installs with the
Administrative user privileges that it requires. Use the following command to
launch it with a basic user interface (shows only progress messages) from your
installer:
LonMarkResourceFiles1300.exe /s /v” /qb REBOOT=R
DEVELOPER=1”
This command is similar to the Neuron Field Compiler installation command
line, but additionally sets the DEVELOPER property to 1. This property
ensures that the additional files that are required for a development
environment, including the L
ON
M
ARK
resource include files, are installed as an
optional feature.
