Transforms only change databases. From the MSI SDK doc: A transform can modify information that is in any persistent table in the installer database <installer_database.htm>. A transform can also add or remove persistent tables in the installer database. Transforms cannot modify any part of an installation package that is not in a database table, such as information in the summary information stream <summary_information_stream.htm>, information in substorages, or files in embedded cabinets. To add files in an embedded cab, you need a patch. > I was previously building the MSI's with Wise for Windows Installer > which embeds the cabs in the Cabs table. That's not a standard table; maybe Wise adds a custom action to extract it somehow? -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
