ISS vs. MSI vs.MST vs. ITW?

Okay, I consider myself officially confused.

I’m simply trying to create a Notes Client Setup Response File.

I follow the posted instructions, use Setup.exe /r, which is supposed to create a Setup.iss file…but it doesn’t (even tried designating the file name and location, which also did not work). Instead, it creates a (randomly-named) MSI file.

Okay, now with the InstallShield Tuner, I can open this file, but I can’t create a response (or Transform) file from it.

I give, what am I doing incorrectly?

Thank you to anyone who can point me in the right direction,

Charlie

Run the InstallSheild tuner and create a new transform . Under the options for creating a transform file, select the MSI, type in a transform file name, and click “Create Response File” instead of “Create Transform File”. It will learn the install just like the old recording method.

Then run the following:

msiexec /i “Lotus Notes 6.msi” /qn TRANSFORMS=“custom.mst”

Thank you Michael,

I was playing the the InstallShied Tuner a little further, and found that if I loaded the default “LotusNotes.itw” file, along with the MSI file (which setup /r created) it starts to step me through the Create Response File process.

Thank you so much for the process information.
