Hi,

We have develop a file dll for lotus notes client.

For used this file, i must add variable EXTMGR_ADDINS on file notes.ini.

For the installation of my dll, i used an InstallShield.

I want to know, how i can insert the string “EXTMGR_ADDINS=myfile.dll”, on all notes.ini, but the pc can have different configuration ( One file notes.ini for all users or One file for each user ).

When i launch installshield, the Lotus Notes Client is stopped, but i want when the client is launch after the installation, the dll is launch.

I know, i use the policies, but the parameters is used at the second launch of Lotus Notes Client, and not the first.

Thanks for your response.

Mikael

Subject: scriptable setup?

It sounds like you might want to push out these parameters during install/setup, in which case you may be looking to do a ‘scriptable setup’. Here’s an example technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21210650

You can also search on ‘scriptable setup’ and notes.ini for more helpful info.

Good luck

Subject: Transform file?

You could create a transform file to add the ini parameter.
