It seems like Wine hasn't implemented the MsiGenerateTransform() function. Without that Torch isn't going to be much use to you. The WiX toolset works (or at least it did work a couple years ago, I haven't checked in a while) on Mono but you need the MSI API implemented so that means Windows or WINE. 2011/6/21 Kovács Zoltán <zol...@geogebra.org>
