We have successfully built and utilized a "MST" file when deploying our RTM version of our product. A separate MST file is built for each of our separate environments .. Dev, Integration, and Production. We use the following command to pass in this transform file:
msiexec -i Product.msi -l *xv -log Product.Deploy.log TRANSFORMS=DevEnvSettings.mst We now have a need to patch the product. The patch contains updates to 2-3 files and some updates to existing web.config files. The patch also contains a new dialog box used during installation. The patch also needs new TRANSFORMS, which have been added to our existing DevEnvSettings.mst file. When I attempt to install the MSP, I get an error stating it cannot find the existing web.config file. I have seen this in the past, and it means that msiexec cannot find the TRANSFORMS. I have attempted to run this command: msiexec.exe /p Patch.msp /l*vx Patch.log REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus TRANSFORMS=DevEnvSettings.v1.0.1.mst I assume this is not the correct way to pass in TRANSFORMS to a patch .. it doesn't work :( DevEnvSettings.v1.0.1.mst contains all TRANSFORMS needed for the RTM version, and any new ones needed for the patch. I've read that I "may" need to create an administrative install on the RTM version and an admin install on the QFE (Patch) version .. then make use of MSIMSP.exe to create the MSP. I have also attempted to use the method outlined in the WiX documentation entitled .. Patch Building -> Using Purely WiX. My main question is .. how do I get the TRANSFORMS into the patch?
