  • Command line: add /[Parameter name]=[Value] to the command line install to provide the parameter.
  • JSON file
  • The installer writes the provided parameters into a file called appsettings.json in the install directory.
  • Registry
  • Parameters can be provided by name in HKLM\Software\UpFax and HKCU\Software\UpFax. If the type is array, the registry key must be the name followed by :[Index] with the type being a REG_SZ.
