InstallShield Tuner question

I’m using InstallShield tuner to add IM_NO_SETUP=1 to the notes.ini file during installs and upgrade of/to 6.5.1 - problem is, I can’t find a way to tell ISTuner (in the transform file) how to NOT add a section like [NewSection1] with my variable. When this occurs, the variable is not observed as it’s not in the default [Notes] section. If I manually move the IM_NO_SETUP=1 to the [Notes] section, it get’s observed/obeyed.

How do I tell ISTuner to put this variable in the [Notes] section? I’ve tried renaming [NewSection1] to [Notes], but that just ends up giving me an InstallShield error on the workstation when I run the setup.

Thanks in advance,

Norm…

What is the specific “InstallShield error on the workstation” that you get?

Hi Jeff;

Doesn’t really matter now - I found the solution.

When you create the new section in ProgramFilesFolder-Lotus-Notes-Data-VDIR_INI, you need to enter “Notes”, not “[Notes]”, and then add your new/modified entries under that. The brackets are implied and added during runtime.

I could use some help with this, too, but it looks like you are far more versed at this than I am.

Could you be very specific about where this is added? I tried looking through the options in the Setup Org., Target System Config., and the Application Config., but I am obviously missing a lot.

Sometimes this thing really makes me feel like an imbecile.

Please either respond here or send me an email. Thanks,

Hello, Maybe someone can help me. I try doing the above… in the ini section in Tuner creating the folder structure shown with the ini setting at the end of it. When I run the install using the transform file it actaully makes a folder on the root of harddrive called “C:\ProgramFilesFolder”. Where/how do I set it up so that it makes that ini reference in the correct spot?

Thanks.

It ended up that somehow the transform I was creating just was having problems overall. I created a new one and things worked fine.
