NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE
Transform files are simply added to the Notes install kit in the form of a <TRANSFORM>.MST file. A tuned install kit can be distributed using standard media kit distribution methods.
To control installation of the features listed in the Notes install kit's install manifest (INSTALL.XML), you must customize the install manifest itself.
You can use transform files to deselect options that you don't want to install by default. You also use transform files to hide the options that you do not want users to change, regardless of whether you choose to install a particular option. Modify the Visible and Initial State settings for each installation option that you want to designate as hidden or not hidden.
Note During a silent install you can call the transform using command line arguments. For information, see "Calling a transform file during Notes silent install."
After you customize installation of traditional Notes features using the tuner and transform capabilities, you can customize specific feature installation using the install manifest (INSTALL.XML) and Eclipse™ update site contents (UPDATESITE.ZIP), resident in the Notes install kit.
