Content Distribution installer properties

The product formerly referred to as Nomad has been rebranded as Content Distribution. Although the new name is implemented in the majority of documentation and user interfaces, references to Nomad may still appear in specific tools, scripts, or contexts.

Subject-oriented lists of Content Distribution installer properties. There are two installers that have usable installer properties: 1E.Client-x64.msi and NomadBranchAdminUIExt.msi.

1E Client installer properties for Content Distribution

The following headings describe the Content Distribution installer properties associated with each particular area of functionality available in Content Distribution.

You must use UPPERCASE when specifying the name of any installer property in a mst transform file, and preferably when including them in a msiexec command-line. Names of settings stored in the configuration file are not case-sensitive. Setting names stored in the registry may be case-sensitive and should be specified as shown. Settings that have numeric values must be set using decimal integers, unless otherwise specified.

Content Distribution installation settings

Content Distribution installation settings exist in the 1E Client configuration file, and not in the registry. They can be specified during installation of the 1E Client as Windows installer properties, and therefore must be specified in upper-case. Settings that exist in the 1E Client configuration file can be mixed-case, and can be reconfigured after installation using 1E Client command-line parameters.
