Transform files let you apply customized configuration changes to a Windows Installer package. CA DataMinder typically provides scripts to create several useful transforms. Find the scripts to generate transforms in the \Support folder of your CA DataMinder distribution media.
For script-generated transforms, you must copy the script into the same folder as your administrative installation source image, Client.msi or Client_x64.msi. You need write access to this folder. You run the script by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer. The script generates the transform for the administrative installation source image.
Note: If no script is provided, you can obtain the transform from CA Support at http://ca.com/support.
.
You can reference transforms as an option for msiexec.exe, as part of the program for an SMS distribution package, or as a modification to a Group Policy installation package.
The scripts generate appropriate transforms depending on your environment: For example, the EnableAppmon.vbs script creates the transforms EnableAppmon_Client.mst for 32-bit client installations, and EnableAppmon_Client_x64.mst for 64-bit client installations.
The references in this section list the transforms that are currently supported.
Example
You want to capture a typical deployment and then roll it out to all clients. You know that CA DataMinder starts automatically after installation and want to disable AutoStart during the model deployment. You run the DisableAutoStart.vbs script to generate the DisableAutoStart_Client.mst transform for the installer.
Follow these steps:
msiexec /a path_to_distrib\windows\client.msi
copy path_to_distrib\support\DisableAutoStart.vbs path
cd path DisableAutoStart.vbs
The script produces the transform DisableAutoStart_Client.mst.
msiexec /i path\client.msi TRANSFORMS=path\DisableAutoStart_Client.mst
