Hi’
Anybody out there with great knowledge of Installshield?
I work with client installation in an environment with Outlook as default mail-client. So, I have created a transform-file with various changes in this respect, i.e entering USENOTESFORMAIL=0 through the table-editor and even setting the registry key to “Microsoft Outlook”
I have experienced that when i test my new package running “msiexec /i …” the installation leaves the default mail setting unchanged but as soon as I test as silent install (using /qn as parameter) the default mail setting is changed to Lotus Notes.
Let me add, that I have no particular knowledge about InstallShield, but pick up a little here and there, i.e. in this forum, in the information center and on the net.
Any good explanations?
Thanks in advance

In that file you should see an entry for RegisterEmailProgram. Here is a sample:
2010-01-13T10:44:12.12-05:00 UpgradeUtils/RegisterEmailProgram: Entered

Hi
I had the same issue and found this link referring to a setting in the Notes 6 client in http://www-12.lotus.com/ldd/doc/uafiles.nsf/docs/RN654/$File/readme654.pdf
Basically the steps in installshield are :-
Additional Tools → Direct Editor → Property
Right click rows with entries below and “Drop row”
USENOTESFOREMAIL
I also applied them to the below too …
USENOTESFORCALENDAR
USENOTESFORCONTACTS
This worked for me.
