Using transforms with msiexec
MSI can use transforms to modify an installation. During IBM® WebSphere® MQ installation, transforms can be
used to support different national languages. IBM WebSphere MQ is supplied with transform files
in the \MSI
folder of the Server image. These files
are also embedded in the IBM WebSphere MQ Windows installer package, IBM
WebSphere MQ.msi.
On the msiexec command
line, you can specify the required language by using the TRANSFORMS
property in a property=value pair. For example:
TRANSFORMS="1033.mst"
You can also specify the full path and file name of the transform
file. Again, the quotation marks surrounding the value are optional.
For example:
TRANSFORMS="D:\Msi\1033.mst"
Table 1 shows the locale identifier, language, and the transform file name to use in the msiexec command line.
You might need
to merge transforms to install multiple installations of the same
version, for example:
TRANSFORMS=":InstanceId2.mst;D:\Msi\1033.mst"
You can also specify the required language by using the MQLANGUAGE property with the MQParms command. For information about the msiexec property=value parameters, see MQParms parameter file .
