ensures that applications do not point to missing files
Microsoft Windows Installer

OpenText Connectivity products use Microsoft Windows Installer. The
Windows Installer service views all applications as three logical building
blocks: products, features, and components.
With Microsoft Windows Installer, be aware of the following:

Multilingual User Interface (MUI) Support

OpenText Setup Wizard provides a language option that supports machines
running Windows XP and later operating systems with one or more
Language Interface Packs installed.
With Multilingual User Interface (MUI), be aware of the following:
Product Access Control Enabled Installations (UsrSetup)UsrSetup
support for MUI is limited to shortcut tooltips and extensions. In
addition, UsrSetup does not support MUI unless it is installed from an
administrative image to which the MUI patch has already been applied.
Merging MUI Patch with an Administrative ImageRunning setup /a
from an administrative image where MUI is the setup language results
in the MUI patch not being applied to the administrative image. To
create a MUI-specific administrative image, you must manually merge
the MUI patch.
To manually merge a MUI patch:

1 Launch setup.exe /a and select English as the default language.
2 Merge the MUI patch into the administrative image by running the
following command:
msiexec admin_image.msi /p mui.msp
3 Install from the administrative image. For more information, see

Administrative Installation on page 16.
Installation on Windows Vista or Later

Windows Vista and later operating systems have User Account Control
security features that prevent unauthorized changes to your computer.

Installation Directories
Exceed XDK and Exceed OpenText Setup Wizard installs program-specific and user-specific files to
3D files install to the same the following directories:
directories as Exceed.
Installation Description Location/Type
Destination folder Program files install into the destination folder Location: a remote network drive
(also known as the root home directory). It is or a local hard drive.
recommended that you use the default directory: Can be a read-only directory.
C:\Program Files\Hummingbird\
Connectivity\version\
However, you can specify a different directory.
User directory User files install into the user directory. These There are several kinds of user
files are configuration files or related files that directories and user files. For more
your OpenText product can change. information, see the next topic.
User Directories
Files are created in one of three directories: shared, per-user, or global. If the
product is installed for all users of the machine, you can choose whether
user files are individualized (per-user) or shared.
7
Some files are always placed in a shared location known as the global user
directory. This location is not the same as the shared user directory.
Directory Default Location
Per-user Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/2008 R2:

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Hummingbird\
Connectivity\version\
Windows XP/Server 2003:
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\
Application Data\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\
Note: This location is hidden by default.
Shared user Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/2008 R2:

C:\ProgramData\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\Shar
ed
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\Shared
Global user Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/2008 R2:

C:\ProgramData\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\
Global\
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\Global\
Per-User If you choose to install your files to a shared location, many

application files are saved in a directory that is specific to the user who is
logged in on the machine. Each user of the product on the machine receives
a personal user directory. An example of a user-specific file is HostEx.ini. If
you configure HostEx.ini with HostExplorer to Not Prompt On Window
Close for a particular user, other users of the machine are not affected.
Another example of a user-specific file is Exceed.xcfg. If you configure

Exceed.xcfg with Xconfig to use a certain display, other users of the
machine are not affected.
8
Shared User If you choose to install your files to a shared location, many
application files are created in a directory that can be accessed by all users of
a machine. Changing files in this directory affects all users of the computer.
Global User Similar to shared directories and files, the global user folder
is available to all users of the machine. Generally, the global user folder is
intended to be writable by administrators and local services and readable by
all users. In certain cases, folder permissions can be changed to allow write
access for everyone. Shared files such as user profiles and mandatory
settings are accessible from the global folder on the local machine
(regardless of the current user).
Personal Installation

Preserving User Profiles

If you choose to preserve user settings on the Product Migration page,
OpenText Setup Wizard generates a .Humfst file (that can be used with the
Files And Settings Transfer Wizard). After default settings are installed,
settings from this file are imported to the machine.
For more information, see The .Humfst file lets you save the migration settings and use them at
Migrating User Settings another time using the Files And Settings Transfer Wizard. In addition,
on page 37. there are properties available in Sconfig that let you import a .Humfst file
even if an older product is not installed. This allows you to migrate settings
to other products. For example, you can export settings from a
HostExplorer installation into an Exceed installation during setup.
You can also use Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to create an OpenText
File Transfer Filter (.humfstt) file, which specifies files and registry settings
to export. When you import this file with a .humfst file, Files and Settings
Transfer Wizard imports the settings as defined in the .humfstt file.
15
For more information on Files And Settings Transfer Wizard options, see
OpenText Administrative Tools Help.
Note: This topic does not apply to Exceed XDK or Exceed

Connection Server.
Administrative Installation
The Administrative Installation lets you create a centralized server image of

the product. This is useful if you want many users to install the product on
multiple machines without the original disc. For examples of how to
implement this procedure for Exceed, Exceed PowerSuite, HostExplorer,
and OpenText NFS Client, see Typical Installation Scenarios on page 18.
To run OpenText Setup Wizard in Administrative mode:

1 Autorun launches the OpenText Master Setup application when you
insert the product disc into your drive. If Master Setup does not launch
automatically, run Msetup.exe from the root directory of the disc.

OpenText NFS Notes
OpenText NFS Server and OpenText NFS Gateway support clustering.

When you install these products, you have the option to install in a cluster
environment and install Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins.
Installing in a Cluster Environment

For more information about OpenText NFS products support Windows Clustering Technology. If you
cluster environments, see want to run an OpenText NFS product in a cluster environment, the cluster
the OpenText NFS Server service must be running when you install the product.
Users Guide or the
OpenText NFS Gateway If the service is not running when you install the product, OpenText Setup
Users Guide. Wizard lets you select one of the following options:
continue the installation without installing the cluster components
abort the installation
If you do not install the cluster components, the OpenText NFS product will
not be cluster aware. If you abort the installation, you can restart the cluster
service before installing the product again.
Installing OpenText NFS Consoles

OpenText provides Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins for
OpenText NFS products. If you are an Administrator on your machine and
you have installed the NFS Administration feature, you can configure local
and remote OpenText NFS products through the console.
You can also install the NFS Administration feature by itself. In this case,
you can configure remote OpenText NFS products through the console
without installing the entire product on your local machine.
24
Troubleshooting
The following are common installation issues and questions along with
suggested solutions. For further assistance with troubleshooting issues,
contact Customer Support.
Multiple Instances of OpenText Setup Wizard

Another instance of OpenText Setup Wizard is running.
Solutions:
An information dialog box informs you that an instance of OpenText
Setup Wizard is already running. Confirm whether the new instance
can continue.
If a product is not currently being installed, you can ignore this error
message and run:
Setup /v"HCL_OVERRIDE_INSTANCE=1"
The message also appears if a non-privileged user tries to uninstall a
product installed for All Users of the computer. In this case, the setup
parameter does not work since only an Administrator of the computer
can uninstall the product.
This error message appears if Microsoft Windows Installer is unable to
remove a key created by OpenText Setup Wizard. This may be because
OpenText Setup Wizard encountered problems during a previous
installation and the key was not removed.
Delete the following key from the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Hummingbird/Connectivity
/version/installer/UserIni/InstallActive=1
Unavailable Network Resource

The feature you are trying to install is on a network resource that is
unavailable.
25
Solutions:
Click OK in the warning dialog box and try again.
Enter an alternate path to the folder containing the installation package
OpenText Product.msi. Run the install again and select Repair.
Use Media Location Manager (part of the Administrators Toolkit
feature) to specify an additional location for the product installation
package. This lets Microsoft Windows Installer find the required
resource.
Patch - Sourcedir Not Found Error

This means the source files are unavailable. When installing a patch, you
need to have the source from which you installed.
Solution: The original product disc must be in the drive. If necessary, use
Media Location Manager (in Administrative Tools) to specify a location for
the source files.
Application Startup Issues Following Installation

After installation the software does not start. Services are not starting
and/or files are missing.
Solution: Ensure the Administrator account is used to perform the
installation. Installing Exceed requires elevated privileges (that is, a user
who is a member of the Administrator group).
Retaining Advertised Shortcuts

When multiple products install the same shortcut, only the last product is
registered with the shortcut. Uninstalling that product removes the
shortcut. However, it is easily recreated by selecting the Repair option in
Program Maintenance for one of the remaining products.
Files in Use During Migration

During a migration, the Files In Use dialog box may open. This may indicate
that the setup process is using certain files. If this is the case, click Ignore to
close the dialog box.
26
Product Access Control Enabled Installations (UsrSetup)

UsrSetup support for MUI is limited to shortcut tooltips and extensions. In
addition, UsrSetup does not support MUI unless it is installed from an
administrative image to which the MUI patch has already been applied.
Merging MUI Patch with an Administrative Image

Running setup /a from an administrative image where MUI is the setup
language results in the MUI patch not being applied to the administrative
image. To create a MUI-specific administrative image, you must manually
merge the MUI patch.
Installation Conflict
When trying to install the product, a message says I must uninstall the
product.
Solution: You have version 7.0 of the product installed. The upgrade process
requires the original version 7.0 source files to install a later version of the
product. If necessary, use Media Location Manager (in Administrative Tools)
to specify a location for the source files.

Chapter 2: Per-User Installation
Controlling Per-User Settings
During the installation, default profiles and settings are installed in a

common location for all users. This location, including all files and folders,
acts as a template collectively known as the default user directory. When a
user first logs in after a product is installed, Humsettings.exe launches using
Microsofts Active Setup Control. Humsettings.exe copies the template to a
user-specific (per-user) location or personal user directory. The product
disc is not required.
Note: When installing a 32-bit product on an x64 operating

system, User Settings does not launch automatically when a user
logs on for the first time after the product has been installed.
Instead, each user receives their personal user directory when an
application is first launched.
The following are the default (root) directories:
Directory Location (Root)
Personal AppDataFolder\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\
(Per-User)
Global C:\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\

Template Default User
Administrators can refresh default files, profiles, and settings in the default
user directory. Administrators control the global defaults contained in the
default user directory while users control the contents of their personal user
directory. Each application determines what personal data and what global
data exists, but it only reads user-specific settings from the personal user
directory or from the current user's Microsoft Windows Registry.
Note: Administrators and users should change files and folders

only below the root level.
33
Customizing Files and Folders

Any user who has write access can modify the default user directory.
Typically, only Administrators have write access. Both files and registry
entries can be added and removed. Such changes are reflected respectively
in the personal user directory and the current user's Microsoft Windows
Registry.
Administrators can add files or folders below the level of existing root
subfolders. These files or folders are automatically copied to the personal
user directory. New root level subfolders are handled by PerUser
Settings.ini located at the root of the default user directory. This file
determines whether or not an installation is required. User Settings are
automatically created when a user of the machine first launches an
OpenText application.
Administrators can change the location of the personal user directory where
the template files and folders are installed. Default locations are based on
registry values. An administrator can change these values (even remotely)
after the initial install.
For more information, see For Exceed, Sconfig has the ability to modify the initial values through its
Customizing Product Directory dialog box.
Installations on page 60.
Adding Registry Entries

Each root-level folder in the default user directory has an associated registry
file. These are stored in the Registry folder. The [Registry Files] section
in PerUser Settings.ini provides a method of associating a .humreg file
(which is .reg file format) with an internal folder name. This is only for
installing registry keys and values to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry
hive.
34
Entries in [Registry Files] use the following syntax:

FolderName=Short_humreg|Long_humreg
where:
Long_humreg represents the path of the file (for example,
Registry\Accessories.humreg) relative to the default user directory
root.
Short_humreg is the proper MS DOS 8.3 path name. If the Long_humreg
file is described as a MS DOS 8.3 path, then Short_humreg and the
pipe (|) character can be omitted.
Multiple .humreg files can be specified for a single folder by separating the
paths with semi-colons.
Updating the Personal User Directory for All Users

When the default user directory is updated, any new personal user
directories automatically get the latest files. For users that already have a
personal user directory, Administrators can use one of the following
methods to update the user files: automatic or manual.
Automatic Update
To update the personal user directory for each user automatically (the next
time they use an OpenText application), update the [Last Modified]
section of PerUser Settings.ini.
Run the following command from the command prompt:
HumSettings.exe UPDATELASTMODIFIED=FolderName
Available folder names are where FolderName is the internal name for one of the top level, default user
ExceedMP, ExceedCSMP, directory. Specify multiple directory names by separating the names with
HostExMP, ProfileMP, semi-colons.
FtpMP, CommonMP,
SecurityMP, ProfSpaceMP,
HumNeighborhoodMP,
DeploymentMP,
NFSMaestroMP, and
NFSClientMP.
35
HumSettings.exe is located in the Accessories folder in the product

installation directory. For example:
c:\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\Accessories
Note: The time stamp is stored in binary format. If you change the
time stamp values manually, you risk having the per-user
installation run multiple times.
Manual Update
To manually update the personal user folder for a specific user, at the
command prompt type:
HumSettings.exe REFRESH=ALL USER=user_profile_path
where:
REFRESH=ALL re-installs, repairs, or refreshes all installed product
folders.
USER=user_profile_path specifies the profile path for the personal
user directory.
For example:
HumSettings.exe REFRESH=ALL
USER="C:\Documents and Settings\user"
Warning! Do not include a backslash character (\) at the end of

the USER command. Otherwise, the command line may be
misinterpreted and lead to unexpected results.
Passing Arguments to Per-User Settings

When using HumSettings.exe to invoke the per-user installation process,
you can pass parameters that affect the current installation. However, in the
case of a per-user installation triggered by an application, there is not a
command line to pass arguments to the process.
36
The [PerUser Installation Parameters] section of the PerUser

Settings.ini file accepts arbitrary Property names and values:
[PerUser Installation Parameters]
REINSTALLMODE = ud
"Property" = "Value"
Each key and value pair is treated as an argument to the current per-user
installation.
Note: There are limitations on parameter usage. For instance, the

INSTALL and USER parameters have no effect because the
installation is being triggered for only the current user.
Migrating User Settings
Controlling Migration in Per-User Installations

Migration of user settings takes place at any time after the initial
installation. This migration makes use of the Files And Settings Transfer
Wizard engine to automatically upgrade older user settings to the current
version.
The per-user installation uses the settings found in the [Migration Control
Options] section of the PerUser Migration.ini to control the migration
process.
The following is a sample section:
[Migration Control Options]
Migration Method=Automatic
Migration First Time Only=2
HUMFST Path=C:\Program files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\version\
Default User\MigBackupEx.humfst
37
where:
The Migration Method value controls whether or not the migration
takes place. The value is either Automatic or No Migration.
The Migration First Time Only value determines what to do if the
per-user migration takes place a second time. This can have a value of 0,
1, or 2. If the value is set to:
0The per-user installation ignores any existing migration cache
and attempts to migrate each time it is activated.
1The per-user installation stops migration if any migration cache
exists.
2The per-user installation, before stopping, further examines the
migration cache to determine if any new folders require migration.
For more information on Whenever a Connectivity product upgrades another Connectivity product,
the Product Migration a choice of whether or not to preserve previous settings is presented by
page, see step 2 on OpenText Setup Wizard on the Product Migration page.
page 10.
At the end of the installation process, if settings were preserved, the .humfst
file generated during the process is put in the Default User template folder,
and the HUMFST Path is updated to reflect this value.
The HUMFST Path value represents the base .humfst file location. The
per-user installation combines the information found within this file for
older products with the .humfst generated for each individual user.
If the HUMFST Path value is empty, the per-user installation uses the
appropriate [Directory Mappings.x.yz] section, where .x.yz is the version
number of the older product. Each section is populated with old Home
directory values from previous versions.
Migrating from Older Versions

You cannot upgrade the product as administrator if a version from 7 to 11
of the product was installed for the current user only. However, you can use
the following procedure to migrate the product settings.
38
To perform a manual migration:

1 Using the Files And Settings Transfer Wizard, export existing version 7
11 product settings.
2 Uninstall the product.
3 Install the current version of the product (which forces an All Users
installation).
4 Use Files And Settings Transfer Wizard to import the settings.
Migrating User Settings Manually

As an alternative to the per-user installation migration, you can use the Files
And Settings Transfer Wizard command line to migrate user settings
(including from one machine to another). This requires a base .humfst file
and the current user .humfst file.
The base .humfst file represents a .humfst exported by the Files And
Settings Transfer Wizard at the time the older product was installed.
To migrate user settings:

1 Export the current user .humfst using the following command where
UserSettings is the name of the .humfst file you want to export:
Fstwizard.com ACTION=ExportUser USERHUMFST=UserSettings.humfst
2 Import the current user .humfst using the following command where
UserSettings is the name of the .humfst file you want to import:
Fstwizard.com HUMFST=Base.humfst ACTION=ImportUser
USERHUMFST=UserSettings.humfst
Note: The export and import commands can take place on

different machines.
39
Importing User Settings Manually

Administrators can use the OpenText file transfer (.humfst) and filter
(.humfstt) files to import user settings manually via the command line.
To import user settings:

On the command line, use the following command:
Setup.exe /v"IMPORT_HUMFST_PATH=c:\settings.humfst
IMPORT_HUMFSTT_PATH=c:\filter.humfstt"
where:
c:\settings is the path to and name of the .humfst transfer file, and
c:\filter is the path to and name of the .humfstt filter file you want to
import.
Controlling Uninstallation
When a product is uninstalled, the personal user directory from the current
user profile is removed. To prevent the user directory from being removed,
you can set the PERUSERPRESERVEPROFILES property in Sconfig (or manually
with Exceed) on the command line of an uninstall operation.
For complete control, set the property PERUSERUNINSTALLTYPE (or manually
with Exceed) on the command line of an uninstall operation. It can be set to
a string representing the exact command line parameters passed to
HumSettings.exe.

Product Access Control on a Terminal Server
Since version 10, a personal installation on a Terminal Server means that all
users of the machine can use the product. Providing the same level of access
control that existed in version 9 and earlier requires a two-stage process.
This process consists of creating an administrative image on the Terminal
Server, and installing the product onto the Terminal Server from the newly-
created copy.
You can run a terminal server installation on:
Windows Server 2003 (with Terminal Services enabled)
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 R2 (with Terminal Sever Role enabled)
The following procedure assumes:

you are logged onto the Terminal Server as the Administrator
Stage 1: Creating an Administrative Image

You must apply the appropriate product-specific transform to your
OpenText product before the product can be installed on a machine with
Terminal Server capabilities.

Chapter 4: Custom Installation with Sconfig
Customizing Installations with Sconfig
Users in an enterprise environment have different software needs. Even in

the case of a single application used by many users, differences in user
requirements and granted privileges often necessitate tailored installations.
For example, some users may require product features such as HostExplorer
and FTP settings files to connect to frequently used hosts, while other users
may require specific font settings and features to be installed with their
products.
For more information on Sconfig works with Microsoft Windows Installer database files (.msi and
Windows Installer, refer to .mst) to let you create customized installations of OpenText Connectivity
Chapter 1: Installing products for users with different needs.
OpenText Connectivity
Products. Sconfig lets you do the following:
Customize the directories in which the product is installed, and add
custom folders.
Tailor the list of applications or components to be installed. You can
alter the list to limit the functionality available to users, or to optimize
the use of disk space.
Simplify user input during installation by preselecting information,
such as the properties of the software being installed.
Manage registration keys and environment variables.
Provide a uniform user experience, and maintain a uniform system
configuration across the network.
Note: Sconfig is not installed if you select the Typical installation

type. When installing your OpenText product on the administrator
machine, you must choose the Custom or Complete installation.
55
How Does Sconfig Work?

Sconfig works with Microsoft Windows Installer database files (.msi and
.mst) to let you create customized installations of OpenText Connectivity
products for users with different needs. Knowing how these files function
together to configure an installation will help you understand the process of
creating a custom installation with Sconfig.
Microsoft Software Installation Files (.msi) Microsoft Windows
Installer uses Microsoft Software Installation files (.msi) to install the
OpenText product. An installation file is a database file that contains default
installation information specifying which product components are installed
and in which directories.
Microsoft Transform Files (.mst) When a user alters an installation in
Microsoft Windows Installer, the changes are not applied directly to the
installation files, but stored in a secondary file called a Microsoft Transform
file (.mst). Like the installation file (.msi), the Microsoft Transform file is a
relational database with information about product components and
installation directories, but the transform file contains only the
amendments a user wants to apply to the default settings contained in the
installation file. The result is a customized installation.
Sconfig and Windows Installer Database Files

Sconfig makes use of the relationship between installation (.msi) files and
transform (.mst) files. Instead of changing the products preconfigured
installation file, Sconfig saves all amendments in a transform file. You can
then package the transform file with an installation and distribute the
customized installation to a target user group. If changes are required in the
future, you can also use Sconfig to open and update previously generated
transform files.
When preparing for multiple custom installations, you need to create a
separate transform file for each group of users. You can then apply each
transform file to the installation file for the OpenText Connectivity product.
56
Overview of Creating Transform Files
When you start Sconfig, the Sconfig Wizard opens with a welcome page.
The next two wizard pages let you specify the installation file (.msi) for the
OpenText product that you want to work with and the transform file (.mst)
you want to create or modify. The wizard then displays the Customize page.
The option tree located in the left pane of the window provides access to all
of the options and settings that you can use to customize the installation.
The availability of some options is dependent on the OpenText application
associated with the installation file you selected and whether you indicate
that you are creating a transform file for a Terminal Services (TSE) client.
The options are grouped into the following categories on the Customize
page:
Product Directories The Directories options let you customize product
directories for the installation. Expand this option group to access the
Custom Folders options to add custom folders to the installation.
Product Features The Features options let you specify which optional
product features you want to install.
Files These options let you add external files to the product installation.
Product Properties The Proper ties options let you customize properties
to change the behavior of the installation package and set properties for
product features.
Registry These options let you preset the registry editor for any Windows
operating system registry. The advantage of editing the registry before the
installation is that it saves time, especially when installing for multiple target
machines.
Custom Shortcuts The Shor tcut options let you create custom shortcuts
on user machines for any product feature you add to the installation
database.
Event Monitoring Properties The Event Monitoring options let you
import properties and previously specified component event settings for
Event Monitoring Server.
57
Environment Variables These options let you configure and manage

PATH and other environment variables.
User Settings Transfer These options let you install or migrate product
settings.
Profile Spaces These options let you import Profile Spaces created with
Profile Space Editor.
Directory Services Properties Available only for OpenText NFS and
Exceed installations, the Directory Services options let you specify property
settings for Directory Services as well as service-specific property settings
for LDAP, NFSD, NIS and NIS+.
Exceed Properties Available only in Exceed installations, the Exceed
Settings options let you modify or remove Exceed-specific properties.
Custom Font Directories and Servers Available for Exceed and

OpenText Exceed PowerSuite installations, the Custom Fonts options let you
install customized font directories and servers to the Exceed Xconfig utility.
For more information on Xconfig, see Exceed Help.
Custom Font Paths Available only for Exceed and OpenText Exceed
PowerSuite installations, the Font Path options let you change the order in
which font directories/servers are loaded by the X server.
NFS Properties Available only for OpenText NFS and OpenText Exceed
PowerSuite installations, the NFS Client Settings option lets you modify or
remove properties for OpenText NFS Client.
After you make the necessary modifications in each of the option categories,
the wizard lets you generate and save the transform file (.mst), which you
can then apply to an installation.
Opening the MSI and MST Files
Before you can customize the installation options and settings, you must
use the wizard to specify the installation file (.msi) you want to work with,
as well as the transform file (.mst) you want to create or modify. You can
also indicate if the transform file you want to create is intended for
installation on a terminal server.
58
To open an MSI and MST file:

1 On the Start menu, in the Administrative Tools group for your OpenText
product, click Sconfig. A welcome page opens. Click Next to continue.
2 On the Database Selection page, specify the installation file (.msi) that
you want to customize and click Next. You can choose an installation file
in one of the following ways:
Specify an installation file that you previously configured.
Browse for a new installation file.
3 On the Transform Selection page, specify the transform file (.mst) that
you want to create. You can specify a transform file in one of the
following ways:
Specify a transform file that you previously configured.
Browse for a new transform file by clicking the Browse button.
Create a new one yourself. You can do this by clicking the Browse
button and specifying a name and location for the file.
Note: If you selected a transform file that was generated with a

previous version of Sconfig, the user interface may differ from
what is documented.
4 If the transform file you want to create is intended for installation on

terminal servers, select Create Terminal Services (TSE) Client Transform.
Note: If you selected a TSE-specific .msi file on the Database

Selection page, this option is not available.
5 Click Next to continue.
The Customize page opens. This page lets you configure the product
installation options and settings.
59
Customizing Product Installations

destination folder box appears only if you are creating a transform for a
64-bit installation.
60
3 Select one of the two user directory options. (In TSE mode, only the
first of the following options appears.)
Individual user directoryType the directory where all volatile files
will be stored for the current user. This path is used to generate the
personal user directory for every user of the machine. Use a
property that changes from user to user so that the path is unique
for each. For example, you can use UserName or AppDataFolder.
Single user directoryType the directory where you want user files
to be shared among all users of the destination machine. This could
be any folder on the machine.
4 If you have made all the necessary modifications, click Next. Otherwise,
select the next option group.
Adding Custom Folders to an Installation

This functionality is not These options let you add your own folders to the directory structure. For
available in TSE mode. example, if you want to add your own fonts to the installation and want
them to be installed in a dedicated folder, you can add a custom fonts folder.
Once you have created custom folders, you can then add subfolders.
Note: To add files to a newly created folder, see File Installation

on page 65.
61
To add a folder:

Product Feature Availability

The Features options let you specify product features you want to install
with your OpenText products. Recognizing features commonly used by
specific users is useful when customizing feature installations. Some may
use the product at an administrative level (system administrators) and will
find monitoring, tracing and troubleshooting features very useful
components of their installation. Others who use the product at an
end-user level may have no use for administrative features.
63
The process of selecting features in Sconfig is similar to customizing a

product installation using Windows Installer. Sconfig also lets you specify
sub-features for each feature you enable, and you can install shortcuts to
help users access commonly used features quickly.
To configure the availability of product features:

1 In the Features pane, expand the product feature tree to view the
features available for the product.
2 Select or clear the features you want to add to or remove from the
installation. The Feature Description area provides information on the
selected feature. Check marks indicate that the feature will be installed.

reflect the update when the application is installed.
Product Properties
Sconfig lets you specify product properties for the OpenText product you
want installed, properties that make the best use of the OpenText
Connectivity product features and that facilitate each users installation
session.
The Properties pane lists both the properties that are required for product
functionality and the optional properties. You can add optional properties
that customize product features, such as the COMPANYNAME property which
includes the name of your organization in the product installation. You can
also include properties that control user input during installation, such as
the TransformSecure property, which protects your transform files from
user modification. Other optional properties define the installation
behavior of the product, such as the ALLOWBROWSE property, which lets the
product browse to the home directory during an installation.
67
You can also set properties specifically for Exceed or for OpenText NFS
Client. However, these properties are available only when installing the
appropriate installation files. For more information on Exceed properties,

This means including in each directory only those font files (.fon) that are
useful to users.
86
Adding Font Directories Adding font directories with Sconfig creates

new font directories in the Exceed Xconfig font database. The font database
in Xconfig is stored in the lfp.xdb file in the User directory. Specific fonts in
the font database are stored in font directories and on font servers.
Note: Before using Sconfig to add the font directory to a custom

installation database, you must do the following in Exceed
Xconfig:
Create a custom font directory.
Add custom font files (.fon) to this directory.
For more information, refer to the OpenText Exceed Users Guide.
Modifying Font Directories Modifying a custom font directory lets you

change the specifications for the selected font directory in the Xconfig font
database. You can change the font type from directory to server, change the
name of the font directory, and add a new font database file (.fdb) to this
directory.
Warning! When changing the name of a font directory, you must

add the font files (.fon) to that directory.

Saving the MST File
After you customize the installation options, the Sconfig wizard lets you
save the transform file (.mst).
To save the .mst file:

1 In Sconfig Wizard, click Next. The Ready To Commit page opens
confirming that you are about to save your configurations to a
transform file.
2 Click Next to create the transform file (.mst). This process is automatic
and does not display on screen. The Complete page opens, confirming
that you have created your transform file.
3 If you want to create a command (.cmd) or batch (.bat) file that will
start Setup with the new transform file, select the option at the bottom
of the wizard and use the browse button to specify the file name and
location.
If you do not select this option, you can follow the instructions
provided by the wizard for adding the transform file to the CmdLine
entry of the setup.ini file. For more information, see Applying the
MST File to an Installation on page 94.
4 Click Finish to exit Sconfig.
Sconfig saves the transform file (.mst) in the same folder as the installation
file (.msi). This makes it easier for users to find when they want to access
the file from the administrative installation point.
93
Applying the MST File to an Installation
After you have created a transform file (.mst), you can use it to customize
OpenText Connectivity product installations. If, on the last page of the
wizard, you did not opt to generate a command file that starts Setup with
the new transform file, you can apply the transform file to the installation
file manually. To do this, you must tell the setup.exe file where to find your
transform file.
To change the setup.exe:

For more information on 1 In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder that contains the setup.ini
installing with an .mst file for your OpenText product.
file, see Sconfig Help.
2 Open the setup.ini file.
3 On the line beginning with CmdLine, add the following text:
TRANSFORMS=full path to the .mst file
For example, the CmdLine for Open Text YourProduct would look like
this:
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS=c:\Open Text YourProduct.mst
where YourProduct is the OpenText product you are customizing.
4 On the File menu, click Save.
5 On the File menu, click Close.
The new CmdLine in the setup.ini file tells the setup program to
incorporate the new transform file in the program installation. Running
setup.exe uses both the original installation file and the transform file that
you created using Sconfig.
Creating Multiple Custom Installations
Multiple custom installations are necessary for disparate users with

different needs. Rather than having users sift through a large product
installation, use Sconfig to package custom installations for each user.
94
To create another .mst file:

1 Open Sconfig and browse to a new transform file (.mst).
2 Create and save the transform file (.mst) to the administration
installation point.
3 If you want to create more transform files for custom installations,
repeat steps 1 and 2.
4 To use your new transform file (.mst), start the Setup Wizard using the
following command:
setup /v"TRANSFORMS=c:\YourTransform.mst"
This way, multiple transform files can exist in one source location, without
the need for repeated modifications to the setup.ini file.
Running Sconfig from a Command Line
You can use a command line prompt to generate transform files and to
apply them to an installation file (.msi).
Generating a Transform
Use the following command to generate a transform file:
-g basedb newdb transform [error/validation conditions]
where:
basedb is the installation file you want to use to create the
transform file
newdb is the name of the new installation file that contains changes
that you want to add to the transform
transform is the file name of the transform file you want to create
error is the code for any errors you want to suppress
validation conditions is the code for any conditions under which
a transform can be applied to a package
95
Applying a Transform File

Use the following command to apply a transform file to an installation file
(.msi):
-a transform database [error conditions]
where:
transform is the transform file you want to apply
database is the installation file to which you want to apply the
transform
error conditions is the code for any errors you want to suppress
Error Conditions
The following table lists the error that you can suppress when applying a
transform:
Code Definition
a Add existing row.
b Delete non-existing row.
c Add existing table.
d Delete non-existing table.
e Modify existing row.
f Change code page.
96
Validation Conditions
The following table lists the validation conditions you can apply to the
transform file:

Appendix B: General Accessibility and Customer Support
General Accessibility
Wherever possible, our software adheres to Microsoft Windows interface

standards and contains a comprehensive set of accessibility features.
Access Keys All menus have associated access keys (mnemonics) that let
you use the keyboard, rather than a mouse, to navigate the user interface
(UI). These access keys appear as underlined letters in the names of most UI
items. (If this is not the case, press Alt to reveal them.) To open a menu,
press Alt and then press the key that corresponds with the underlined letter
in the menu name. For example, to access the File menu in any of our
applications, press Alt+F.
Once you have opened a menu, you can access an item on the menu by
pressing the underlined letter in the menu item name, or you can use the
arrow keys to navigate the menu list.
Keyboard Shortcuts Some often-used menu options also have shortcut
(accelerator) keys. The shortcut key for an item appears beside it on the
menu.
Directional Arrows Use the directional arrows on the keyboard to
navigate through menu items or to scroll vertically and horizontally. You
can also use the directional arrows to navigate through multiple options.
For example, if you have a series of radio buttons, you can use the arrow
keys to navigate the possible selections.
Tab Key Sequence To navigate through a dialog box, press the Tab key.
Selected items appear with a dotted border. You can also press Shift+Tab to
go back to a previous selection within the dialog box.
Spacebar Press the Spacebar to select or clear check boxes, or to select
buttons in a dialog box.
Esc Press the Esc key to close a dialog box without implementing any new
settings.
Enter Press the Enter key to select the highlighted item or to close a dialog
box and apply the new settings. You can also press the Enter key to close all
About boxes.
