5. If you want to disable Device Detector go to table 'Feature'. Look for Feature 'DevDetect' and set cell 'Level' to Value 101. Now Device Detect is not marked for installation.
6. Save the changed Msi.
7. On Commandline run
'msitran -g "acdsee 8.msi" "acdsee 8_new.msi" acdsee.mst'. The transform 'acdsee.mst' will be created. You can now remove 'acdsee 8.msi' and 'acdsee 8_new.mst'. They are not needed anymore.
9. Run
'acdsee8041zwin-de.exe /v"/qb- TRANSFORMS=acdsee.mst"'
from Command-Line to install AcdSee (without ').
10. If you want to run from a VbScript take the following:
Set wshShell=CreateObject("wScript.Shell")
wshShell.Run("\\server\share\directory\acdsee8041zwin-de.exe /v""/qb- TRANSFORMS=\\server\share\directory\acdsee.mst"""), 1, True
11. Notes: When run from a VbScript 'acdsee.mst' must have the full absolute path. 'Orca' and 'Msitran' are free tools from Microsoft.
