MSI, MST and SURunAs... confusion on order and which paramets should be set where... Fixed

Hi,

I’m finding conflicting information around this so thought I might pop my question down if anyone knows - and will update the answer if I get to it first!

Basic requirements

  • single login feature

  • sametime integration

  • implement using smartupgrade

What I know I need to do:

  • customise the msi, generating mst to cover reqt 1.

  • Use the options {/s /v"ALLUSERS=1 SELECTINSTALLFEATURES=Sametime /qb+"} to satisfy reqt 2.

Where I have difficulty.

  • thought i would use SURunAs to satisfy the administrator account for local login, and then also have added the arguments above (reqt 2) to the command line parqameters.

  • I need to tell the package to use the msi - so found a doc by andy donaldson which recommended using a batch file with the command line of {msiexec /i “Lotus Notes 8.0.2.msi” TRANSFORMS “Lotus Notes 8.0.2.mst” /qn /ab+} which I have done, however this is now not recognising the mst…

Oh, and I want to use smartupgrade to implement. Can someone point me in the direction of using all these tools.

My update:

  • I have customised the MSI (creating an MST), switching on installation of the notes client single login AND sametime.

  • Packaged this.

  • Then Run the installation (not using smartupgrade) to confirm it is working. I find that the single signon and integrated sametime are not installed?!?!?! I am upgrading from 7.0.2 - this did not have the sametime toolbar anad the single login was not installed. It is reasonable to assume the upgrade would install it?

  • This is doing my head in…

Thanks a ton,

Al

I have customised my msi (as I want single sign on enabled on the installation)generating a new mst file.

SOLUTION

Should have had SametimeUI - not sametime… I have scraped the idea of installshield. Now just used the unpackaged file, with the arguments in the options in the smartupgrade pack… doh!
