After storing the AIT file and program product ID file in correct directories, use the Packager to package the software to be distributed. The packaging method is the same as for ordinary packaging.

If you want to place the transform in a shared folder on the server so that the transform can be referenced from the client, specify the fixed path to the transform file in the MSIEXEC command line.

If you want to distribute the transform together with the MSI file, copy the file from the medium to a hard disk, and then package the file together with the transform. At this time, store the transform in a directory that can be referenced from the MSI file. In the TRANSFORMS property of the MSIEXEC command line, specify the relative path from the packaging-target directory.

The following describes the specification in the AIT file and program product ID file when the files to be packaged exist on the E drive.

• When the transform is stored in the directory that contains the MSI file
  

  

  Packaging directory:

  E:\

  Installation program name you specify as package information in the AIT file:

  setup.msi

  File names you specify in the program product ID file:

  xxx.ini;yyy.exe

  The TRANSFORMS property specified in the MSIEXEC command line:

  TRANSFORMS="setup.mst"

• When the transform is stored in a subdirectory of the directory that contains the MSI file
  

  

  Packaging directory:

  E:\

  Installation program name you specify as package information in the AIT file:

  setup.msi

  File names you specify in the program product ID file:

  xxx.ini;yyy.exe

  The TRANSFORMS property specified in the MSIEXEC command line:

  TRANSFORMS="install\setup.mst"

• When the transform is stored in a directory at the same hierarchical level as the directory that contains the MSI file
  

  

  Packaging directory:

  E:\

  Installation program name you specify as package information in the AIT file:

  disk1\setup.msi

  File names you specify in the program product ID file:

  disk1\xxx.ini;disk1\yyy.exe

  The TRANSFORMS property specified in the MSIEXEC command line:

  TRANSFORMS="install\setup.mst"
