INSTALLING
After creating an MSI transform file (.mst), using an MSI tuner utility such as the InstallShield Tuner for Lotus 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 IBM Lotus 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.
cmdLine=/l*v %TEMP%\notes9.log TRANSFORMS=custom.mst
The transform file (.mst) is applied when you start the Lotus Notes installer, silently on the command line, using the graphic install screens, with automated tools such as Lotus Notes Smart Upgrade, and so on.
Note: For installing IBM Lotus Symphony, and (for single user installation only) 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 Lotus Symphony, Feed Reader, and Connections features are requested for installation, in addition to the MSI install kit customization contained within the called transform file named LotusNotes8.5.3.mst.
setup.exe /s /v"TRANSFORMS=LotusNotes8.5.3.mst ADDFEATURES=Editors,Feedreader,Activities /qb+"
Alternatively, you could do the following:
1. Open the transform file, using the InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes, and following statement to specify that only the additional Lotus Symphony, Feed Reader, and Connections features be installed:
