2.4 Configuration script parameters

The configuration script mst_gen.vbs creates an .mst file (known as a transform, a modification, or
a modification file) for the installation package of an Acronis component such as Acronis Backup
Agent for Windows.

By using the transform together with the installation package, you can install the component in the
unattended mode.

The following is the complete syntax of the configuration script:

mst_gen.vbs
/msi_path <Full path>
[/target_dir <Installation folder>]
[/account <User name> <Password>]
[/cep_enabled]
{/serial <License key> [/old_serial <old license key>] }
[/current_user]

Brackets ([]) denote parameters that are optional or that apply only to some components. Braces ({})
denote mutually exclusive sets of parameters; each set is separated by a pipe (|).

The following is the description of each parameter and the list of components it applies to.
