6.1.2 Modify Setup Properties

In some cases you may want to customize your installation using Windows Installer (MSI) properties that support features not configurable on other Installation Customization Tool panels. For example, the installer property ARPHELPLINK, sets the URL used by the support link in the Programs and Features list.

NOTE:If you want to create a custom (non-default) user data location that will be used by all installed Reflection products, specify the product-specific property WRQ_USERDIR. This property affects only those applications whose default user data directory is [PersonalFolder]\Micro Focus\Reflection\. Reflection applications that use this default data location include: Reflection Workspace, Reflection FTP Client, Reflection Kerberos Manager, Reflection Key Agent, Reflection IBM Printer, and Reflection X (legacy). Reflection X Advantage does not use this user data location.

To set the location where Reflection X Advantage artifact files are saved, specify the file path in the RXA_ARTIFACTS_DIR property.

To modify installation properties

  1. From your administrative installation point, open the Installation Customization Tool from a shortcut or by typing the following command line:

    <path_to_setup> \setup.exe /admin

  2. From the Select Customization dialog box, do one of the following:

    • Select Create a new Setup customization file for the following product.

    • Select Open an existing Setup customization file or Companion installer and, in the Open dialog box, select an .mst file.

  3. From the Installation Customization Tool navigation pane, select Modify setup properties.

  4. Click Add to open the Add/Modify Property Value dialog box.

  5. In the Namebox, use the drop-down list to select commonly-used public properties that are standard to the Windows Installer. Select an item in the list to see a brief description of the selected property. For additional information about Windows Installer properties, see the Microsoft Windows Installer Guide. Some Micro Focus products support additional properties that do not appear in the drop-down list. You can configure these properties by manually entering the property name.

  6. From the Filemenu, select Save Asand save the file to the same folder as the installer package file for Reflection ( setup.exe).
