There's a vbscript WiGenXfm.vbs in the Windows Installer SDK.

Also some of our customers don't have a own admin which means I need a very simple solution to create transformations without Orca. I browsed the MSDN but i couldn't find smth about the .mst file format. I would like to write a simple windows or web application which allows a user to create a transform for my install with some clicks. Or use a 3rd party tool which is very easy to use when there exist some. Is there a way to create transformations with Wix? Or use parts of the wix source code to create such an app (if the licence allows that)? Thanks Alex - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

It's designed to create a transform between two MSI packages or from a .wixout you can create with Dark. At the moment, however, there isn't a schema for authoring transforms. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
