Another way is to use the standard utility msidb.exe from Windows
Platform SDK.
Msidb.exe -d <your_MSI_package.msi> -r <your_transform.mst>
Hope this helps.

Hi David,
You can use WISubStg.vbs:
WISubStg.vbs "full path to msi" "full path to mst" TransformName
Command line for msiexec:
Msiexec /I "full path to msi" TRANSFORMS=:TransformName
At the very end of
http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/15/from-msi-to-wix-par
t-7-
customizing-installation-using-transforms.aspx there is small script to
embed mst programmatically using script also.

Subject: [WiX-users] How to embed a transform and use during install?
I've got a transform that brands the client's installer and output to
the
correct images and names, and I've seen in other blogs that I can use
the
"TRANSFORMS=:TransformName" on the command line to use an embedded
transform
file, but I can't seem to get it to work.
How do I need to do the embedding? I've tried <Binary> and <File>, but
neither seems to work, as the installation using the syntax above fails
on a
"failed to find transform file" type of error message.
Thanks for any help!
