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).
