About this task

Examples of using the msiexec command line statement to install Lotus Notes with or without calling a configured transform are as follows:

• To install to the default directories, use the following statement:

  msiexec /i "Lotus Notes 8.5.3.msi" /qn TRANSFORMS="custom.mst"

• To overwrite the default directories, use the following statement:

  msiexec /i "Lotus Notes 8.5.3.msi" /qn PROGDIR=C:\Test DATADIR=C:\Test\Data TRANSFORMS="custom.mst"

• To calls a transform file, use the following statement:

  msiexec /i "Lotus Notes 8.5.3.msi"  TRANSFORMS="custom.mst"

1. Change to the Notes install directory that contains the install media kit. For example, this is the directory in which the Notes .msi file, setup.exe file, and transform, *.mst file reside.

2. Run the silent install as below:

• For a single user install, do one of the following:
  • To install to the default program and data directories, and install the default features as specified in the install manifest, enter the following command:

    msiexec /i "Lotus Notes 8.5.3.msi"  TRANSFORMS="custom.mst"

  • To install to non-default program and data directories, enter the following command to explicitly state the target program and data directory:

    msiexec /i "Lotus Notes 8.5.3.msi" PROGDIR=C:\Test DATADIR=C:\Test\DataTRANSFORMS="custom.mst"

• For a multi-user install, you can either use the "SETMULTIUSER=1" command line statement or use a transform (.mst) file when performing the Notes silent multi-user install.

  msiexec /i "Lotus Notes 8.5.3.msi" SETMULTIUSER=1 /qb"
