Transform Issues
Hi, I've been working on a Transform for OpenText eDocs DM Extensions 5.3 It comes with a vendor MSI, which I've created a Transform for.. When I add in all the appropriate Properties to enable the features in the application, that works.. When I add in custom HKCU keys and add a key path, then try to install the application it does not work anymore.. I get the following errors... It's strange because it works fine until I set the key path on one of the Registry keys..
"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid."

Another strange thing.. I tried opening the MSI and MST in Tuner and it says the product code is incorrect.. I looked and the product code in the MST is changed.. I've created this Transform several times and it has changed the product code a few times.. Changing it back does not fix the issue

Which tool are you using to build the Transform? - Bjoern 12 years ago

I'm using InstallShield Tuner - tclarke1243 12 years ago

This error "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid." can sometimes be seen when there is a mismatch of schema between the MSI and MST.
Set the schema in your MST to match the MSI and try again.
If you used InstallShield Tuner to create the MST its schema will match the Windows Installer version on your InstallShield box - not the schema of the MSI.
Hope that helps,

It looks like they match.. I'm creating the Tuner on a 32 bit Windows 7 machine though and attempting to install on a Windows 2008 R2 server machine(XenApp server).. I'm creating it from the 64 bit MSI though.. Could this cause any issues? - tclarke1243 12 years ago

If I were you I would only use the InstallShield tuner output as a starting point for your MST. Try to identify the minimum of properties and InstallLevels you need to change in your MSI and then manually create your mst with only these changes. Basically open the vendor msi, change what you need and save as -> transform file.
