Summary

Discussion

Primarily, the purpose of the Response Transform Wizard is to capture changes that take place in the User Interface (UI) Sequence of the installation so as to put the MSI into the correct state at the beginning of the Execute sequence. This entails monitoring Property changes, and changes to a feature's Install Level.

• Private properties set by Windows Installer
• Properties that contain absolute paths

Note that in some cases INSTALLDIR will be captured as an absolute path via a Set Property custom action. This is the one exception to the second rule. If absolute paths are required, our recommendation is to configure the transform manually to do so after completing the transform wizard.
