Applying A Repair Option To An Installation - Symantec WINDOWS INSTALLER EDITOR 8.0 Reference

Windows Installer Editor Reference
Windows Installer can advertise the availability of an application to end users and to
other applications without actually installing the application. If an application is
advertised, only the interfaces required for installing the application are presented to the
end user or other applications, saving time and disk space. End users install the
application by activating the advertised interface.
You can use a command line to set advertising options that determine who sees the
advertised application and whether a transform is applied to it. For information on
advertising options, see Advertisement in the Windows Installer SDK Help.
To apply advertising options to an installation
1. Click the Advertising tab on the Command Line Details dialog box.
See Creating a Command Line To Apply to an Installation
Note
The Advertising tab appears only when Install Mode on the General tab of the
Command Line Details dialog box is set to Advertised.
2. Complete the dialog box:
m - Advertise to all users of machine
u - Advertise to the current user
t - Applies transform to advertised package
Add a transform to the advertised installation.
In the field below the check box, specify the transform file to include in the
installation.
3. Click OK.
