Hello, today i would be sharing how to package micro focus rumba application. This is a vendor MSI,hence a transform would be required for packaging this application. Although this application is straight forward, but sometimes, due to customer specific requirements, it becomes a little time consuming to package this app.

For me , i wanted to suppress the window that asked me to save the profile, everytime i closed the application and also i wanted to open a new session in a new window. Now how do we do this. Most of you by now must have narrowed down to HKCU. But in practical its not. The settings for such customization are stored in a config located in a LocalAppData. Its called Rumba.config file

Following are the contents of the file
