Customizing the Installer Program using Installer Transforms
You can perform more extensive customizing of the AnyConnect client GUI (Windows only) by creating
your own transform that deploys with the client installer program. You import the transform to the
adaptive security appliance, which deploys it with the installer program.
To create an MSI transform, you can download and install the free database editor from Microsoft,
named Orca. With this tool, you can modify existing installations and even add new files. The Orca tool
is part of the Microsoft Windows Installer Software Development Kit (SDK) which is included in the
Microsoft Windows SDK. The following link leads to the bundle containing the Orca program:
After you install the SDK, the Orca MSI is located here:
Install the Orca software, then access the Orca program from your Start > All Programs menu.
To import your transform, follow these steps:
Step 1 Go to Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > AnyConnect
Customization/Localization > Customized Installer Transforms. Click Import. The Import
AnyConnect Customization Objects windows displays.
Enter the Name of the file to import. Unlike the names of other customizing objects, the name is not

significant to the adaptive security appliance and is for your own convenience.
Step 3 Select a platform and specify the file to import. Click Import Now. The file now appears in the table.
