Hi Reece, I wasn't aware that you could do such a thing (transforms) with MSI but that is fantastic. This would make deployment less of a headache.
I for one would love to see that kind of thing included in the Alchemi SDK. Unfortunately I don't think your attachment made it through the mailing list (or at least I don't see it). Do you think you could send me your MSI transform file to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ?
