Example: Using setup.exe to call a transform file during Notes® silent install
You can optionally call a transform file (.mst) during Notes® silent install on a supported Windows™ platform.
After creating an MSI transform file (.mst), using an MSI tuner utility such as the InstallShield Tuner for Notes®, you can use that transform during Notes® install and upgrade to override default values.
Note: You must use a transform file when performing a Notes® multi-user silent install.
Note: For
installations using the transform file (and for silent installations)
using the msiexec commands, the network installation should not be
the first installation of Notes® that
you perform unless you are certain that all of the client workstations
contain the Microsoft™ Windows™ Installer Service.
Note: The
command line path is the default installation path or the path for
the transform file.
The
transform file (.mst) is applied when you start the Notes® installer, silently on the command line,
using the graphic install screens, with automated tools such as Notes® Smart Upgrade, and so on.cmdLine=/l*v %TEMP%\notes9.log TRANSFORMS=custom.mst
Note: For
single user installation of Domino® Designer
and/or Domino® Administrator,
you need additional parameters as described in Performing a Notes® silent install or upgrade
on Windows™.
In the following command line example, a transform is called and
only the additional Feed Reader and Connections features are requested
for installation, in addition to the MSI install kit customization
contained within the called transform file named
IBMNotes.mst
. setup.exe /s /v"TRANSFORMS=IBMNotes.mst ADDFEATURES=Feedreader,Activities /qb+"
Alternatively, you could do the following:
- Open the transform file, using the InstallShield Tuner for Notes®, and following statement
to specify that only the additional Feed Reader and Connections features
be installed:
ADDFEATURES=Feedreader,Activities
- Run the following command:
setup.exe /s /v""TRANSFORMS=IBMNotes.mst /qb+"
