Merging MST Files

[rusteh]

Hi All,

Quick question regarding mst files that has me stumped, sorry if this is rudimentary but I'm new to packaging in general.

I've got a vendor supplied MSI file that I do not want to edit. I have two MST files, one for isolation and one for installation response. I have a requirement of a single MST file only so I can't simply deploy both MST files.

Is there a way to merge the two MST files into a single MST file covering both response and isolation WITHOUT manually editing the response MST to simply add the isolation table in?

Thanks in advance.

Make a copy of your base MSI and then apply / commit the two transforms. Now you can generate a transform by using the difference between the two MSI's.
