Edit Jabber-config-defaults.xml file values in MSI

[Hermanus Janse van Vuuren]

Hi,

Is there a way I can edit the jabber-config-defaults.xml file in the MSI file or extract it edit it and repackage the MSI file again.

I am looking at changing values from FALSE to TRUE.

<userConfig name="EnableP2PDesktopShareOverEdge" value="TRUE"/>
  <userConfig name="EnableReverseConnectionForP2PDesktopShare" value="TRUE"/>
  <userConfig name="PreferP2PDesktopShare" value="TRUE"/>

The above mentioned is FALSE by default and I want to deploy it with TRUE by default?

Hi There,

Yes, you can create a custom Installer by opening the msi in orca. Please check the following link and creating the custom installer OR you can edit the jabber-config.xml and reupload and restart the tftp service and that should work as well.

I Hope it helps !

Hi There,

Thanks for the reply but I have already tried both options. I need to physically edit the jabber-config-defaults.xml file that is installed in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco Jabber\jabber-config-defaults.xml before it is installed.

I have tried adding these values into the jabber-config.xml file but it does not change my jabber-config-defaults.xml file at all.
<userConfig name="EnableP2PDesktopShareOverEdge" value="TRUE"/>
<userConfig name="EnableReverseConnectionForP2PDesktopShare" value="TRUE"/>
<userConfig name="PreferP2PDesktopShare" value="TRUE"/>

I don't want to go and edit this file and then manually have to push it to the clients, I would rather edit the xml file and somehow repackage the msi file with the xml file fields edited.
