Creating Generic Transforms

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Tuner

Most transforms are tied to a specific product code, meaning they can only be applied to a specific version of a product. Generic transforms, however, do not have that limitation. They can be created to apply to multiple versions of a Windows Installer package (for example, Office XP and Office 2000), or to any Windows Installer package.

To create a generic transform:

1.

Create a transform in Tuner as you would do normally.

2.

With the transform project open, select Transform Summary Information from the Project menu to access the Transform Summary dialog box.

3.

When the Transform Summary dialog box appears, change the validation options to reflect how you want the transform applied. If you want to create a completely generic transform, deselect all validation options.

Tip:One use for generic transforms is to enforce standard Add/Remove Programs information on every package installed in your environment. The same transform can be used to set all relevant properties.
