Different groups within an organization often use the same application, but that doesn't mean they
require the same feature set. One of the benefits of Windows Installer is that if you have 10 groups
needing 10 different feature sets or other alterations for the same application, you can deploy the
same MSI package to all 10 user groups, but with a different transform file (MST) applied for each
group.
A transform file is a collection of changes applied to an MSI installation. It contains all modification
information, such as whether features are installed; how they are installed; which files, shortcuts,
and registry entries are included; and Add/Remove Programs applet information.
If you have vendor-supplied MSI packages, you can use AdminStudio ZENworks Edition to create
and manage transforms.
MSI Properties: The MSI package contains the property values that were defined during the
administrative installation of the application. These property values determine the way the Microsoft
Windows Installer installs the application to the workstation. In some cases, you might want to
change one or more of the property values. For example, a property value might define the default
location for a user's work files. By adding the property to the list and changing the property's value,
you can override the default location defined in the MSI package.
If necessary, you can add public properties that were not included in the MSI package. When doing
so, you should be careful to add only those properties that are valid for the package. The following
options are available:
Add: To override a property value, you change the property value and add the property to the
Properties list so that Application Launcher knows to use that property value rather than the
one defined in the MSI package. To do so, click Add to display the MSI Properties dialog box.
In the Name field, select the property whose value you want to override, specify the new value
in the Value field, then click OK to add the property to the MSI Properties list.
Edit: To modify a property that is in the MSI Properties list, select the property, click Edit,
modify the value data, then click OK.
Remove: To remove a property from the MSI Properties list, select the property, then click
Remove. Deleting the property causes future installations of the application to use the property
value defined in the MSI package.
Executable Security Level: Click More Options to specify the executable security level options.
On Windows 2000/XP/Vista, the application executable can run in either the "user" space or the
"system" space. By default, the Run normal option is selected, which causes the application to run in
the "user" space and inherit the same workstation security level as the logged-in user.
