Setup.ini and Transform

MrMagoo

Newbie question about creating transform. A lot of the software we get from vendors have a Setup.exe and an MSI. I also usually see a setup.ini. Inside the setup.ini I usually see it calling the msi file and it also maybe doing various other thinks as well. My question is when creating a transform for the msi I see the option to import an ini file. Should I be importing the setup.ini file or is that not needed?

Thanks for any help....

Good question. The setup.ini is used by the setup.exe for a bunch of things. One of those is to pass command line parameters to the Windows Installer service when launching the package. Take a look at those command line parameters. I believe it's called CmdLine or something similar. If it's blank you're good to go. If there are parameters, you may want to include those in the transform. From personal experience, you can ignore the setup.ini the vast majority of the time.

Hope that helps,
