Hi MichaelU, Thanks for the advice, sadly REINSTALL doesn't appear to re-cache any MST associated with the installation, just the MSI. However I have been able to tweak the MST with the necessary change, drop it into the c:\windows\installer folder and then change the HKCR\installer\products\{GUID}\Transforms registry value to point to the new transform. I'm just carrying out some thorough testing now but this appears to work a treat.

I've been asked to do some remediation work on a piece of software which has been historically packaged via MST and deployed across a number of servers. Unfortunately when said app is uninstalled, it removes the wow6432node in HKLM, a change made by the transform rather than the vendor's MSI. I have suggested that the component attribute be made permanent which has been agreed as the way to move forward however I've been tasked with finding a solution to the instances of the application which have already been deployed. Obviously a full upgrade is out of the question as I don't want a big chunk of the registry removed in the process. I thought it may be possible with an MSP, I can't figure out how an MSP can affect the tables of an MST if indeed this is possible at all. Can anybody suggest a solution please? - See more at: http://www.itninja.com/question/how-can-i-change-a-component-property-in-an-mst-which-has-already-been-deployed#sthash.k8sDG9jS.dpuf
