Customize the IBM Notes installer to run without user-input

The current installer of IBM Notes (release 9.0.1) requires the user to enter many options before the installation completes. The aim is to have an installer which can be started by another program, and run without requiring user-input. I need an installer for Windows which can install Notes 9.0.1 (I can provide the original installer) with customized installation options, without requiring the user to enter or set any option. The current options provided with the installer's boot-strapper ([login to view URL]) are not enough, or ineffective. They allow for an automated installation, but won't let me specify the required components to be installed. Most probably, the MSI file itself will require some modifications, or a new MST file needs to be compiled (using something like InstallShield Tuner) in order to achieve this. I have made some tests by providing command-line options directly, and in [login to view URL], but they were not very helpful. I will share my experience with the person willing to do the job. Using InstallShield Tuner was too complicated for me. The specific installation options/components required to be set (or unset) are as follows: 1) Installation to a specific folder (this is easily settable from the command line, I know how to do it already). 2) Multi-user install option (any one who uses the computer) 3) Components as per the attached picture. 4) Notes will NOT be set as the default program for mail, calendar, nor contacts (see the attached picture). I require one installer that installs Notes Basic and one for Notes Standard. P.S.: This request is only about the Windows installation program, not about the Notes' Configuration, which would still appear the first time the Notes Client is started.

Hello, I'm a setup developer. I have 9 years experience working in Installshield (1,5 years in Wise). I have experience in Sql Server Express silent installation, write sql scripts within the main setup. I can write batch files to automatic generating setups (checkout files from SVN, build setups, compress the setup, copy files appropriate path to server). I have a VMware Workstation software with lots of OS 32&64 bit to test the setup installation/uninstallation. (Xp, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Servers 2008/2012). At the moment I'm working for a Swiss company remotely in part time (50h/month) so I have plenty of free time for different jobs. The setup I deal with contains more than 10.000 line Installscripts so I am confident in working with Installshield and Intsallscripts. I'm working on 32&64 bit setups. Previously I worked as application packager. I customized third party applications, created transforms files. I think the best solution is to create a new transform file (.mst) with tuner or other applications (Advanced Installer). I can do that within 2 days. I have already used these application a lot, so it is not difficult for me. Regards, Bence
