[. . . ] Government shall be solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Symantec Corporation 350 Ellis Street Mountain View, CA 94043 http://www. symantec. com Wise InstallTailor Reference 2 Technical Support Symantec Technical Support maintains support centers globally. Technical Support's primary role is to respond to specific queries about product features and functionality. The Technical Support group also creates content for our online Knowledge Base. [. . . ] Examples: Set certain features to be installed for a group of end users. Change the default target directory for all users that install an application within the corporate environment. When an installation cannot run silently, turn off some of the dialog boxes so that end users do not provide inaccurate information during installation. The ability to turn off dialog boxes is not supported in some installations. Define information about the SQL Server that should be used by an application without prompting the end user. The transform that InstallTailor creates can set the values of certain properties even if you do not explicitly define those values when you run InstallTailor. You can review the changes that InstallTailor captures, you can edit them, and you can delete the ones that should not appear in the transform. Example: Suppose you are deploying a new office automation application to your organization's office in Germany. Everyone in that office needs the German-language version of the installation, but only the Sales department needs the application's contact management component. First, you create a language transform to change the language of the installation dialog boxes to German. Then you use InstallTailor to create a second transform, based on the first transform, that installs the contact management component. When the second transform is run, it applies the first transform to the base installation, then applies the second transform. See Creating a Transform With Wise InstallTailor on page 12.
