Tuner

Repackaging a Windows Installer setup is not recommended. To customize the installation of a Windows Installer setup, a transform file (MST) should be used. For administrators, a transform is typically used to introduce any customizations to automate the unattended installation with the parameters you wish to specify. This typically includes information such as what components to install, where to install the software, and even product licensing information. 

InstallShield Tuner facilitates the generation of an MST file by letting you create one from scratch or by responding to the installation options presented by a Windows Installer setup. 

Once complete, Tuner displays the following view of the transform file for editing and review

Tuner can be used to add files to an MSI without modifying it. It can also be used to view or change any of the various underlying tables in a Windows Installer package. Other uses include the ability to add/delete/modify ODBC resources and to identify one or more network destinations for the final product source files.
