NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE
Note Prior to Notes 8.0.2 a transform was required for silently installing or upgrading a multi-user Notes install on Windows. A new command line option has since been added to remove that requirement.
Note You must have administrator rights or elevated privileges to perform a multi-user install or upgrade. Use the Notes client-only installer. Multi-user installation does not support the Notes Allclient installer.
Use a command line to set silent multi-user statement
To perform a Notes silent multi-user install or upgrade on Windows, use the "SETMULTIUSER=1" command line statement. An example is shown below:
setup.exe /v"SETMULTIUSER=1 /qb"
Use a transform file to set silent multi-user statement
The steps to create the transform file for silent multi-user install and upgrade are as below:
1. Open the "InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes" program and locate the supplied configuration file "LotusNotes.itw."
2. Click Create a new transform file.
3. In the Select an MSI file field for the Microsoft® Windows® Installer Package option, select the supplied .MSI file (for example, Lotus Notes 8.0.2.MSI).
4. In the New project name and location field for the Microsoft Windows Installer Transform option, enter the customized transform filename, for example MU.MST
5. Save the customized transform file, for example MU.MST, to the same location at which the Notes install media kit resides, specifically the directory in which the Notes multi-user SETUP.EXE file resides.
6. Click Create.
7. Click Application Configuration.
8. Open the customized transform file name, for example MU.MST
9. Click Setup Properties.
10. Change the value in the ApplicationUsers property from "OnlyCurrentUser" to "AllUsers."
12. Open a Command Prompt window.
13. Navigate to the Notes install media kit on your local drive. Note that this is the same directory in which the supplied Notes .MSI file resides and that you just created the multi-user transform file, named, for example MU.MST
14. Type the following and respond to any prompts:
