This documentation describes how to create an MSI installer for the Partner System. It is somewhat dated and is not officially supported by Partner. We are working on standardizing this support. However, the documentation may be of use and is presented herein.
It was originally designed for customers with an Active Directory Domain and who do not allow turning off UAC on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines.
Be aware that:
Use at your own risk!
The reference system should be a virtual machine set up and a screen-shot taken with Windows, Windows Updates and Java.
The WinInstall LE System should have WinInstall LE installed on a share and this application can be downloaded from here:
