Ability to specify default AF database during installation of PI AF Client

Currently, the PI AF Client installation allows the user to select a default PI Data Archive and default AF server but not a default AF database. It would be nice, especially for silent installations, to be able to specify the default AF database ...

Export Event Frame Analysis Reference
