Prepare the Code42 app for deployment

Customize images

In the directory *_Custom/example_skin, replace the images with your own images.

• Modified images must be saved with filenames, formats, and image dimensions identical to the originals:
  • logo_main.png, 436 pixels wide by 45 pixels high
  • splash_default.png, 540 pixels wide by 330 pixels high
  • window_bg.jpg, 1508 pixels wide by 1142 pixels high
• Only images matching the original file's properties are applied during the install process.
• These are the only images in the Code42 app that can be customized.

Customize text

1. With a plain text editor, edit the file *_Custom/custom.properties.
   Plain Text Editors 
   Use a plain text editor, such as Vi, VIM, emacs, Text Wrangler, Notepad++, TextMate, etc., to make these changes.
   Word processors, such as Wordpad, Word, Pages, or OpenOffice Writer, can add formatting characters to plain text files and should be avoided.
2. Locate the line labeled ## Language Properties.
3. Below that line, add key/value pairs for each item of text you want to customize.
   • You can customize any text item listed in the lang/txt.properties file, which is installed alongside the Code42 app.
     • Windows: C:\Program Files\CrashPlan\lang\txt.properties
       If you installed per user, see the file and folder hierarchy for file locations.
     • OS X: /Applications/CrashPlan.app/Contents/Resources/Java/lang/txt.properties
       If you installed per user, see the file and folder hierarchy for file locations.
     • Linux: /usr/local/crashplan/lang/txt.properties
   • Text customizations apply only to Code42 apps using an English-language locale.
   • For example, add the following properties to change the labels of the text fields of the user login screen:

     LoginPanel.firstName=Your First Name
     LoginPanel.lastName=Your Last Name???
     LoginPanel.password=Your CrashPlan Password
     

Package installers for Windows

1. Rename the *_Custom directory to custom.
2. Select the custom directory and a *.msi file.
3. Right-click to select Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.

Package installers for OS X

1. Double-click the *.dmg installer file.
   The file mounts. A new icon appears on your desktop to represent the Code42CrashPlan volume.
2. Open a command line terminal.
3. Find and note the full path of your *_Custom directory.
4. Go to /Volumes:
   cd /Volumes
5. Open the directory that has the name of the *.dmg file, for example
   cd Code42CrashPlan
6. Copy your *_Custom directory into the current directory, and name it .Custom
   cp -r /Users/<userName>/<path>/<filename>_Custom ./.Custom
7. Close the terminal window.
8. Right-click on the *.dmg icon and select Eject.

$ cd /Volumes
$ ls -al
Code42CrashPlan 
Macintosh HD
$ cd Code42CrashPlan
$ cp -r /Users/<yourname>/<path>/<name>_Custom ./.Custom
$ ls -al
.Custom 
Install Code42 CrashPlan.pkg 
Uninstall.app

Package installers for Linux

1. Find and note the full path of your *_Custom directory.
2. Unpack the *.tgz:
   The result is a new directory crashplan-install/.
   tar -xzvf<filename>_Linux.tgz
3. Copy your *_Custom directory into that new directory, and name it .Custom:
   cp -r <path>/<filename>_Custom crashplan-install/.Custom
4. Repackage the *.tgz file:
   tar -czvf -mode=rwx <filename>_Linux.tgz crashplan-install/

Example deployment script for Windows

@ECHO OFF

REM Script grabs currently logged in user and user home; installs silently. Compatible with running the installer as administrator or another user.

REM Determine which user lauched explorer.exe, presumes that this is a domain account user
for /f "TOKENS=1,2,*" %%a in ('%systemroot%\system32\tasklist.exe /FI "IMAGENAME eq explorer.exe" /FI "STATUS eq running" /FO LIST /V') do if /i "%%a %%b"=="User Name:" set _currdomain_user=%%c
REM in the case of no domain account, change "currdomain_user" to "curruser", otherwise you need the line, below, to trim out the domain and wind up with "curruser"
