Creating Multiple Custom Installations

Multiple custom installations are important for disparate users with different development needs. Users demand software that makes efficient use of both their time and disk space. Rather than having users sift through a large Hummingbird product installation, use the Sconfig utility to package custom installations for each user.

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 1-2.
  4. To use your new transform file (.mst), launch the Setup Wizard by using the following command:

setup /v”TRANSFORMS=c:\YourTransform.mst"

This way, multiple transform files can exist in one source location, without repeated modifications to the setup.ini file.
