Changing the settings for an MSI-based Software

To change the settings for an MSI Package, edit the MSIInstallProduct com­mand.

Proceed as follows:

1. Open the Packaging Workbench for the desired MSI Package, and select the eScript view.
2. Double-click the MSIInstallProduct command.
3. Make the required settings:
   • Path to MSI-based software.
     Note: You can also use variables in the path specification.
   • Installation type
   • Advertisement mode
   • Logging option
   • Parameters for MSI-based software execution. You can specify e.g. public prop­erty values here.
     Example:
     REBOOT=ReallySuppress

   Instead of a fixed value, you can also use any combination of variables in the parameter line. This makes it possible to change values in transforms using variables at runtime.

4. To edit the list of transforms, proceed as follows:
   1. Select Create to create and add a new transform. Enter the name of the transform.
      This will launch the MSI Transform Wizard.
   2. Select Edit to edit a transform from the list. This also launches the MSI Transform Wizard.
   3. Select Add to add an existing transform. Select the desired transform file (MST file).
      The dialog displays the new list of transforms.

   You can change the type of transform used (secure or unsecure).
   Recommendation: Use the secure type. This is also the default value.
   Note: All transforms for a package are of the same type. If you change the type of a transform, the type of all transforms is changed.

5. Click OK. Close the Packaging Workbench and save the changes.
