Opening an MSI/MST File

Before you can customize installation options, you must specify the transform (.mst) and installation (.msi) files with which you want to work. You can work with a new transform file or with a preconfigured file.

You can also indicate if the transform file you want to create is intended for installation on a terminal server.

Note:

Sconfig is not installed in a Typical installation. It installs only if you choose Custom or Complete installation type.

To open an MSI/MST file:

After you open Sconfig from the Windows Start menu, a welcome page appears. Click Next to continue.
On the Database Selection page, specify the installation file (.msi) that you want to customize and click Next. You can choose an installation file in one of the following ways:
- Specify an installation file that you previously configured.
- Browse for a new installation file.
On the Transform Selection page, specify the transform file (.mst) that you want to create. You can specify a transform file in one of the following ways:
- Specify a transform file that you previously configured.
- Browse for a new transform file by clicking the Browse button.
- Create a new one yourself. You can do this by clicking the Browse button and specifying a name and location for the file.
  Note:
  If you selected a transform file that was generated with a previous version of Sconfig, the user interface may differ from what is documented.
If the transform file you want to create is intended for installation on terminal servers, select Create Terminal Services (TSE) Client Transform.
Note:
If you selected a TSE-specific .msi file on the Database Selection page, this option is not available.
Click Next to continue.
