I'll will happily write a KB once I gather the correct answers for this. PS: Yes I did look on the pages on the appdeploy site but I couldn't find this specific scenario. If anyone has made sense of this convoluted IBM insanity, please pass on your knowledge because this is giving me a headache. I also see that the setup.exe supports a silent install but I don't know the options.Įither way, I don't need to add any user settings, just install Notes, install the Domino admin console and turn off the mail options during install. I can't figure out which property needs to be set to what to fix this. I have InstallShield and created a response mst but during that process, the msi creates an install.xml (in the users profile) file that is not included as part of the install files so it fails to complete the install when run from a server share.

The instructions for 8.x don't seem to be correct for this version. The install pdf references a tuner that is not available (or at least I can't find it and IBM states it doesn't exist and to use 7 which I can't find either). Trying to find accurate instructions for installing Lotus Notes 8.5.1 is turning out to be quite frustrating.
