8.5.1 Transform does not install Symphony

Run through the normal steps using Installshield Tuner as in 8.5.0, select features (all in our case), then run the :

msiexec /i “Lotus Notes 8.5.1.msi” TRANSFORMS=“Lotus Notes 8.5.1.mst” /qn /qb

CAE, Connections, Sametime are installed, just not Symphony.

Tried setting “default=true” and “required=true” in the install.xml as well.

Then tried :

setup.exe /s /v" SETMULTIUSER=1 SELECTINSTALLFEATURES=Activities,SametimeUI,CAE,Editors /qb"

which did not work neither.

Subject: Some answers.

In 8.5.1 we changed how the Symphony and Sametime features are controlled. Now there are Features in the MSI tables that correspond to the Symphony and Sametime plugins. If you check out the Admin Guide for 8.5.1 you will see this change reflected in some new properties required to be set in a transform or on the command line.http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.domino.admin85.doc/H_USING_NOTES_SILENT_INSTALLATION_ON_WINDOWS_STEPS.html

So you should try something like:

setup.exe /s /v" SETMULTIUSER=1 SELECT_EDITORS=1 SELECTINSTALLFEATURES=Activities,SametimeUI,CAE,Editors /qb"

or add SELECT_EDITORS=1 in the property table of your transform.

Ah…

I am a stupid plonker. I read this page, and passed over the SELECT_EDITORS=1 bit, just saw the SELECTINSTALLFEATURES=

Thanks so much for the correction.

Yours humbly
