Wise InstallTailor Reference 9

About Wise InstallTailor

Wise InstallTailor is a tool in the Wise Toolkit that is available to users of Software

Management Solution.

Use InstallTailor™ to create a transform (.MST) that changes the way a Windows

Installer installation runs. A transform is a special kind of Windows Installer database

that can be applied at run time to a Windows Installer package to customize the

installation for a particular group of end users.

When you run InstallTailor, it simulates an installation, captures the options that you

select on the installation dialog boxes, and creates a transform file that incorporates

those selections. Because the installation is only simulated, no changes are actually

made on your computer.

Examples:

Set certain features to be installed for a group of end users.

Change the default target directory for all users that install an application within the

corporate environment.

When an installation cannot run silently, turn off some of the dialog boxes so that

end users do not provide inaccurate information during installation. The ability to

turn off dialog boxes is not supported in some installations.

Define information about the SQL Server that should be used by an application

without prompting the end user.

The transform that InstallTailor creates can set the values of certain properties even if

you do not explicitly define those values when you run InstallTailor. You can review the

changes that InstallTailor captures, you can edit them, and you can delete the ones that

should not appear in the transform.

See About InstallTailor Changes on page 11.

You can create a transform that customizes another transform. Example: Suppose you

are deploying a new office automation application to your organization’s office in

Germany. Everyone in that office needs the German-language version of the installation,

but only the Sales department needs the application’s contact management component.

First, you create a language transform to change the language of the installation dialog

boxes to German. Then you use InstallTailor to create a second transform, based on the

first transform, that installs the contact management component. When the second

transform is run, it applies the first transform to the base installation, then applies the

second transform.

See Creating a Transform With Wise InstallTailor on page 12.

Starting Wise InstallTailor

When you install Software Management Solution, a software resource for Wise

InstallTailor is created in the Software Catalog. You can use any delivery method to

deliver and install InstallTailor. We recommend that you install it on an Administrator’s

desktop.

For more information on delivering a software resource, see the Software Management

Solution documentation.

To start Wise InstallTailor

1. On the computer where you installed InstallTailor, on the Start menu, click

Programs > Wise Solutions > Wise InstallTailor.

When InstallTailor starts, the Welcome page appears.

About InstallTailor Changes

The transform that InstallTailor creates can set the values of certain properties even if

you do not explicitly define those values when you run InstallTailor. For example, the

base installation might set a property based on the destination computer’s operating

system. However, the operating system on which you run InstallTailor might differ from

the operating system on your target computers.

InstallTailor displays the changes that it captures when you simulate the installation and

lets you do the following:

zDelete the changes that should not appear in the transform.

zEdit the captured changes.

zAdd changes to property values, feature states, and directory values that

InstallTailor did not capture.

For example, you want to specify a different installation directory, but the option to

do so does not appear on the installation dialog boxes. You can add a value for the

installation directory and it is added to the transform.

See Editing InstallTailor Changes on page 13.

Any changes that you make to the captured changes appear in the transform that

InstallTailor creates.
