installations by distributing pre-configured installation packages. The administrator manipulates the
configuration by means of a transform file that the Windows Installer service uses when it is installing an
application.
The InstallShield Tuner for Lotus Notes provides administrators with a graphical and easy-to-use method of
modifying the default install options of the new installer in Lotus Notes. This allows administrators much
more flexibility in their options and enhances control over what an end user can and cannot do or see when
installing the program.
