The installation references the “Assisted Install.txt” to aquire
the variables necessary for a silent/unattended installation.
The installation instructions describe copying over a
server.pem file which is necessary for using the product on Windows 7. The silent installation creates a server.pem
file. It is copied down to the client
during the normal InstallFiles action however it is also recreated by a vendor
custom action – LaunchOpenSSL. In order
for the silent installation to correctly place the Windows 7 fix version the
transform has been designed in the following way:
The transform copies down the Windows 7 fix file called
serverWin7Fix.pem_
After the vendor custom action creates the server.pem file a
BC_Win7FixServer.pem custom action copies the serverWin7Fix.pem file over the server.pem file.
The application has an autoupdate plugin this is activated
by default and controlled by a HKCU key
HKCU\Software\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro\8.5\PlugIns
"Disabled"="$FMAURDACFWEB"
The data value for the above registry key disables the
autoupdate.
vbscript custom action: note could be improved by use of variables.
