MSI API programming
Greetings all!
I have recently had some GREAT success in programming the modification of values in MSI files using the MSI API in MSI.dll.
Mostly I am using these functions: MsiOpenDatabase, MsiDatabaseOpenView, MsiViewExecute, etc.
I'm writing a little QA tool to so I can batch process MSI files to check for values that should be there as part of our company's standards.
However, while I can generate a transform, I don't know how to actually edit a transform like I am an MSI.
Has anyone worked with these API calls?
If so, has anyone had success in editting MSTs?
Thanks in advance,
- Sean Roberts

Hi Sean,
There's a script called "WiGenXfm.vbs" in the SDK that demonstrates the use of MsiDatabaseGenerateTransform.
Hope this helps.
