### More Information

You can also customize the Lotus Notes application by creating a transform file that can be used for deploying the application using Endpoint Central. For example, if you have created a transform file named custom.mst, you can specify the installation command as **\\servername\sharename\setup /s /v"TRANSFORMS=mu.mst /qn"**

Both the transform file and the executable file should be stored in the same location.
