Saving Transforms as .msi Files

InstallShield 2020

You can save an .mst file as an .msi file.

To save a transform as an .msi file:

1.

Open the transform project in InstallShield if you have not already done so.

2.

On the File menu, click Save As. The Save As dialog box opens.

3.

In the Save as type box, select Windows Installer Packages (*.msi).

An .msi file is created. It contains all of the data from the base .msi file, the .mst file that you were editing, and any additional .mst files applied. The project is treated as a Direct Mode MSI project. For more information, see Editing .msi and .msm Databases in Direct Edit Mode.
