I have two MSI's built with Wix that are the same except one MSI has a
couple extra files in it.  The extra files are stored in a separate .cab
file embedded in the MSI.  All cabs are embedded in the MSI's.

 

I then use torch.exe to generate an MST file so that I can later
transform the smaller install to the large one.  The problem is that
torch doesn't seem to be including the extra embedded cab file.  The
transform is very small (6K), and when I apply it to the small MSI and
run it, I get an Internal Error 2356 for the missing cab file.

 

I was previously building the MSI's with Wise for Windows Installer
which embeds the cabs in the Cabs table.  Using torch on those MSI's
would give me the desired result.  However the Wix generated MSI doesn't
have the Cabs table since the cabs are embedded in the _Streams which
doesn't seem to be detected by Torch.

 

I tried some different parameters to Torch but nothing seemed to give me
what I want. Am I missing something?

 

Thanks,

Mike Ballou
