INSTALLING
About this task
Only features containing the <installfeature> property required="false" in the Notes install kit's install manifest (install.xml) are available for removal or other install options. These include the Composite Applications Editor, Lotus Symphony, Feedsreader, Connections (Activities), embedded IBM® Sametime®, and (for single user install), the Domino Designer client. All other supplied features must remain as supplied in the install kit.
The trimUpdateSite tool is available for customizing the Notes install kit for non-Linux platforms. The tool creates a copy of the files it modifies, for example a copy of updateSite.zip and a copy of install.xml. You can undo the trimUpdateSite tool work by deleting its output updateSize.zipand install.xml copies. However, always keep a clean copy of the pre-modified Notes install kit.
The trimUpdateSite.exetool is available in the Utility directory in the Notes install kit.
Note: Some features such as Lotus Symphony require the additional step of using the InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes to create a transform that disables their install completely. This transform file must be included in the Notes install kit during install.
Note: To use trimUpdateSite.exe, you need the externally-available zip232xN.zip and unz552xN.exe at http://www.sfr-fresh.com/windows/misc/zip232xN.zip and http://www.sfr-fresh.com/windows/misc/unz552xN.exe. Note that a more recent version of these files is also available at ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/win32/zip300xn.zip and ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/win32/unz600xn.exe.
Procedure
1. Make a backup copy of your Notes install kit.
2. Create a working directory by copying the updateSite.zipand install.xml to a new directory. Ensure that you have write access to the working directory.
3. Ensure that you have adequate space for unzipping and re-zippingupdateSite.zip on a temporary drive.
4. Change to the working directory in which the updatesite.zipand the install.xml install manifest reside.
5. Move a copy of the supplied trimUpdateSite.exe and itsreadme.txt file to your working directory.
6. Open the readme file associated with the trimUpdateSite.exe and obtain the zip232xN.zip and unz552xN.exe from www.sfr-fresh.com/windows/misc. Place them in the working directory.
Note: The trimUpdateSite utility requires that the zip.exe and unzip.exe utilities be resident in the same directory as the trimUpdateSite.exe tool.
8. Click the browse button next to the Select Location of updateSite.zip option.
9. Select the directory as instructed.
11. When prompted, click OK to remove the selected feature(s) from the updateSite.zip (update site folder) and the install.xml file (Notes install manifest).
12. When informed that processing is complete, click Exit.
13. Copy the modified updateSite.zip and install.xml from your working directory to overwrite the supplied updateSite.zip and install.xml in your Notes install kit.
15. If you are customizing the kit to remove Lotus Symphony, create a transform that turns off the Editors feature and include that in the Notes install kit. For details, see the related topic on obtaining a tuner.
16. Perform a test install or upgrade to be sure that the customized install kit functions correctly.
