Applying the .mst File to an Installation

After you have created a transform file (.mst), you can use it to customize Hummingbird product installations. If, on the last page of the wizard, you did not opt to generate a command file that launches 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 where to find your transform file.

To change the setup.exe:

1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder that contains the setup.ini file of your Hummingbird product.
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 Hummingbird YourProduct would look like this:

CmdLine=TRANSFORMS=”c:\Hummingbird YourProduct.mst”

where YourProduct is the Hummingbird Connectivity 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. When you run setup.exe, it uses both the original installation file, and the transform file that you created using Sconfig.
