Transform Summary Dialog Box

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner

The Transform Summary dialog box, available from the Project menu, allows you to configure how to handle specific errors when the transform is applied. Additionally, you can configure how the Windows Installer Service verifies whether the transform can be applied against a given package.

Suppression Options

Options in this section allow you to configure whether installations with this transform applied will continue or fail if certain errors are encountered. You can configure the following options:

Suppression Options
Option	Description
Add Existing Row	Suppresses errors resulting from adding rows that already exist.
Delete Missing Row	Suppresses errors resulting from deleting rows that do not exist.
Add Existing Table	Suppresses errors resulting from adding existing tables.
Delete Missing Table	Suppresses errors resulting from deleting tables that do not exist.
Modify Missing Row	Suppresses errors resulting from updating rows that do not exist.
Change Code Page	Suppresses errors resulting from mismatched code pages.

Validation Options

Options in this section allow you to specify how the Windows Installer Service verifies the transform can be applied to a Windows Installer package. You can configure the following options:

Validation Options
Option	Description
Same Language	If selected, the package against which the transform is applied must be the same language as the package used to create the transform.
Same Product Code	If selected, the product code for the package against which the transform is to be applied must be the same as the package product code of the package used to create the transform. If not selected, you can create a generic transform that can be applied against multiple Windows Installer packages.
Same Upgrade Code	If selected, the upgrade code of the package against which the transform is applied must be the same as the upgrade code of the package used to create the transform.
Product Version is Lower	If selected, the product version must be less than the version of the package used to create the transform. This can be combined with the Product Version is Equal option to create a “less than or equal to” comparison.
Product Version is Equal	If selected, the product version must be equal to the version of the package used to create the transform. This can also be combined with either the Product Version is Lower option or the Product Version is Higher option, creating a “less than or equal to” or “greater than or equal to” comparison.
Product Version is Higher	If selected, the product version must be greater than the version of the package used to create the transform. This can be combined with the Product Version is Equal option to create a “greater than or equal to” comparison.
Version Checking	When using product version comparisons, you must indicate to what degree you want the comparison made. You can compare only the major versions, the major and minor versions, or the major, minor, and update versions. You can also select None to clear version checking.
