Transforms

This property page lists the transforms that Microsoft* Windows* Installer applies to the .msi package during distribution. A transform adds, deletes, or changes properties in the .msi package to enable customization of the installation for different groups of users. Transforms are applied in the order they appear in the Transforms List. If two transforms modify the same package property, the property retains the value applied by the last transform.

For information about creating transforms for your .msi package, see the documentation you received with the software application.

Add
Click Add, browse to and select the transform file (.mst file) you want added to the Transform List, then click OK to add it to the list. If the transform file is in the same directory as the .msi file, you can simply enter the filename in the Transform Path field rather than browsing to and selecting it. If you select the file, make sure that the resulting path is either a UNC path or mapped path common to all users.

Delete
Select a transform from the Transforms List, then click Delete to remove it from the list.

Up-Arrow and Down-Arrow
Select a transform from the Transforms List, then click the up-arrow to move the transform up in the list or click the down-arrow to move it down in the list. Microsoft Windows Installer applies the transforms in the order they are listed, from top to bottom.
