Storing Added Files

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner

When you add files to a transform, Tuner stores them in a CAB file with the same name as your transform. The added files are placed in the CAB and Tuner no longer maintains a reference to the original file location on the source computer. If you add additional files after saving the transform, the contents of the CAB file are extracted and recompressed along with the new files.

Because this mechanism relies on the presence of the CAB file, this file must be stored in the same location as the transform. If you move, modify, or delete the CAB file, Tuner will no longer be able to include the added files in the transform. You must then delete the files from the Files and Folders View and re-add them from their original locations, or locate the original CAB and place it back in the same folder as the transform.

Also, because the contents of the CAB file are uncompressed and recompressed when you add subsequent files to the installation, you must have sufficient disk space for this extraction when you save the transform.
