Finebuild can install and configure ZoomIt as part of the SQL Server install process.

ZoomIt was originally produced by Sysinternals, now part of Microsoft. It allows zooming of a highlighted portion of the Windows Desktop, and was chosen to be included in FineBuild to help with troubleshooting or presentations.

In order to maintain compatibility with older versions of SQL FineBuild, the parameters /InstZoomIt: and /InstSQLTools: can also be used.

FineBuild also uses the following parameters to help install ZoomIt:

Parameter	Default Value	Description
/ZoomItexe:	ZoomIt.exe	Name of ZoomIt program file
/ZoomItZip:	ZoomIt.zip	Name of file holding ZoomIt install media

ZoomIt cannot be installed by FineBuild on a Windows Core operating system because it is supplied in zip file format.

ZoomIt will be installed with CLIENT and WORKSTATION builds, but not with a FULL build. If you want to install it with a FULL build, the following parameter should be added at run time:

  /SetupSQLTools:Yes

The FineBuild install for ZoomIt includes the following:
