Creating a Transform With Wise InstallTailor
Wise InstallTailor is a tool in the Wise Toolkit that is available to users of Software
Management Solution. You use Wise InstallTailor to create a transform (.MST) that
changes the way a Windows Installer installation runs.
See
About Wise InstallTailor
on page 9.
You cannot use Wise InstallTailor to create a transform for an application that is already
installed on your computer. Uninstall the application before running InstallTailor.
To create a transform with Wise InstallTailor
1. Start Wise InstallTailor.
See
Starting Wise InstallTailor
on page 11.
2. In Windows Installer package, specify the installation file (.MSI) or transform file
(.MST) to create a transform for.
3. Click Next.
If you specified a transform file, you might be prompted to specify the base .MSI, if
that information is not embedded in the transform.
The installation runs in a simulated mode.
4. Step through the installation and make changes that should be saved in the
transform.
The resulting transform, when applied to the base installation, will make the same
changes that you make during this simulated installation.
If the Hide Dialog check box is available on a dialog box, you can mark it to hide
that dialog box from the end user during installation. This ensures that changes you
make on the dialog box cannot be overridden by the end user. This check box does
not appear on complex, custom dialog boxes or for certain installations that do not
support it.
5. When you complete the simulated installation, a message appears indicating that
changes to the installation have been captured. Click OK.
6. On the Captured Changes page, review the changes that were made to the
properties, features, and dialog boxes of the installation. Do any of the following
and then click Next.
To exclude a change from the transform, uncheck its check box.
To hide all dialog boxes in the installation, check Hide all dialogs.
To edit a change, select it in the list and click Details.
You cannot edit the changes that hide a dialog box.
To add a value for a property, directory custom action, or feature, click Add and
then select the appropriate command from the Add menu.
7. On the Capture Complete page, enter the following:
Transform file name
Specify the name and location for the new transform file (.MST). If you based
this transform on another transform, use a different file name for this
transform.
