transform. When you apply the transform, make sure the .CAB file, the original
.MSI, and the .MST are all in the same directory.
5. Save the transform, using the .mst extension.
The Transform Details dialog box appears.
6. Complete the Transform Details dialog box and click OK.

Applying a Transform to an Installation
The Transform Details dialog box, which appears when you save a transform file,
contains options that flag error conditions of a transform. You set the error conditions to
ignore. It also contains validation options. Normally, if the error conditions exist, errors
are generated when the transform is applied to the standard installation.
In most cases, if you create the transform using Windows Installer Editor, you can leave
the defaults on the Transform Details dialog box. See MsiCreateTransformSummaryInfo
in the Windows Installer SDK Help.
Base database
(Read-only) This is the .MSI on which this transform is based. If this transform is
applied to a database other than the one specified here, an error is generated
during installation.
Suppress Transform Application Errors
The following check boxes let you suppress certain errors if the transform tries to
perform certain operations on the base database. In most cases, you can leave the
default settings in this section.
Add existing row
Suppress errors from occurring if the transform tries to add a row that already
exists in the base .MSI.
Delete missing row
Suppress errors from occurring if the transform tries to remove a row that
doesn't exist in the base .MSI.
Add existing table
Suppress errors from occurring if the transform tries to add a table that already
exists in the base .MSI. This is marked by default when you create a transform.
Delete missing table
Suppress errors from occurring if the transform tries to delete a table that
doesn't exist in the base .MSI. This is marked by default when you create a
transform.
Update missing row
Suppress errors from occurring if the transform tries to update a row that
doesn't exist in the base .MSI.
