Customizing the installation of the HCL Connections plug-ins

Customize the installer by editing the install.addon.xml file to install a custom set of HCL Connections plug-ins for an IBM Notes client.

Attention: Activities and Status Updates depend on the Business Card plug-in. Do not remove the Business Card plug-in if you are installing Activities or Status Updates.

Note: Customizing the installation of the HCL Connections plug-ins is supported only for the Windows platform. Currently there is no plan to support the Mac platform.

Customize the installer to install parts of the plug-ins so that they are integrated with the IBM Notes client. For example, if you do not want to deploy Status Updates, you can exclude that plug-in from the installation by commenting it out in the install.addon.xml file.

  1. Open install.addon.xml in a text editor from the /deploy folder.

    For example (Windows), /ConnectionsAddonInstaller/deploy

  2. Comment out the plug-ins you do not want to deploy or uncomment the plug-ins you do want to deploy. For example, if you don't want to install Status Updates plug-in, comment out the Status Updates plug-in. For example:

    <!-- Below is the Status Updates plug-in install block, comment it out if you don't want to install Status Updates plug-in. -->
<!-- Status Updates -->
<!--
<feature action="install" id="com.ibm.lconn.statusupdates.feature" match="equivalent" shared="true" version="4.5.0.20130224-1730"/>
-->
<!-- Status Updates -->

  3. Click setup.exe to start the installation.
