Apply a Transform to Your Installation
If you have created a transform to customize how Reflection X is installed, you need to deploy the transform with the primary installation. (This is in contrast to companion installation packages, which can be chained with the primary installation or installed separately.) Any install started with setup.exe
or with command-line installs can include a transform.
To add the transform to installs started with setup.exe
-
Start Installation Customization Tool\ and select Create a new Setup customization file for the following product.
-
Go to the User interface panel.
-
Select Use this customization with interactive installs using setup.exe.
When you save your transform with this option selected, the Installation Customization Tool automatically updates the
setup.ini
file to apply the transform to the Reflection X installation by adding the following line to the[Setup]
section:CustomTransform=<your_transform.mst>
This modification to
setup.ini
means that any install usingsetup.exe
(using either the interactive user interface or usingsetup.exe
on a command line) will automatically apply this transform. -
Save the transform to the default location (the folder that includes
setup.exe
).The transform can now be deployed to end users via the
setup.exe
file. (Users can runsetup.exe
directly orsetup.exe
can be called from a script or initiated from a command line.)
note
If the setup.ini
file already specifies the transform file you want to install (as noted in step 3 of the previous procedure) do not specify the transform on the command line.
To add the transform to a setup.exe command-line install
-
From the command line, use the following syntax:
<path_to_setup>\setup.exe /install TRANSFORMS=<transform.mst>
