Summary

Applying a Transform Silently

Synopsis

A transform is a collection of changes to an MSI package that can add or replace data in the install's database. This is applied during runtime of the install. This article discusses how to silently apply transforms to an MSI package.

Discussion

To apply a transform in silent mode from the command line use the following command-line argument:

msiexec /i "<PATH>\Package.msi" TRANSFORMS="<PATH>\Transformpackage.mst" /qn

The preceding argument runs the entire installation silently and applies the transform to it.
