Huge Install file and no flexibility

HCL Domino Domino Forum

We have users in a hundred of different locations. I use InstallShield Tuner to produce an antomatic install for them.

I have to send them a CD with Notes (140 Mo) + a couple of replica of our bases (300 Mo) + their user.id and mail database.

It takes an awfull time to start InstallShield and read the .mst file, add the specific user.id and user mail, save the .mst file and package the whole thing.

Would someone has some trick to do it more quickly ?(R5 was good for that !)

Thanks in advance.

Off the top of my head, you could use the Windows Installer service Automation Interface to manipulate your transform.

Here’s the doc: Technical documentation | Microsoft Learn

The combination of Tuner and the MSI allows you far greater control over all aspects of the Notes 6 client install than ever existed in R5.

Sorry for this late response, I was away for a few days.

I looked at your suggestion, but it seems a little too much for me !!

Thanks anyway.
