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

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
