Error description
Environment: Notes Client 8.5.1 CZ5S3EN.exe CZ5S0EN.exe Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 Install Shield Tuner for Lotus Notes 7.0.x, 8.0.x and 8.5.x for Windows 2000, 2003 English (C84T5NA) Problem Silent client install changes default mail client setting. Setting "USENOTESFOREMAIL" , "USENOTESFORCONTACTS" and "USENOTESFORCALENDAR" fields to "0" in .mst file (as per TN # 1220293) does not work when doing a silent install. Customer needs to be able to do a silent Notes 8.5.1 but leave Outlook as the default email client. Problem description After packaging the Notes 8.5.1 Client and specifying it NOT be the default mail, calendar and contacts in Installshieldtuner, it ignores these settings when a silent client install is done. This has been tested and reproduced on Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7. Steps to reproduce are below :- 1. Create an .mst file for 8.5.1 and set "USENOTESFOREMAIL" , "USENOTESFORCONTACTS" and "USENOTESFORCALENDAR" fields to "0" 2. Install .mst with command line msiexec /I "Lotus Notes 8.5.1 msi" TRANSFORMS="test2.mst" i.e. a GUI install. This works correctly and Notes 8.5.1 installs but Outlook remains the default email client on the PC. 3. Install (on say a new PC) with the same .mst file but this time use the command line msiexec /i "Lotus Notes 8.5.1.msi" TRANSFORMS="test2. mst" /qn /qb+ (i.e. silent install). This results in Notes now becoming the default email client instead of Outlook (even though the . mst file has Notes set to NOT be the default email client).
