April 27, 200422 yr It's not very hard to create MST files. MST files are "transform files" i.e. files that contain differences to the MSI file.So it's e.g. possible to add the serial no for Office. If you simply want to modify/prepare Office for deployment then you could use the ORK (Office Resource Kit) provided by Microsoft. It contains wizards which will create an MST file for you.There're a lot of commercial tools which are able to create MST files. If you're looking for a free tool then you could use "Orca" which is part of the Microsoft Platform SDK.If you do want to have more information about the "Microsoft Installer" technology then you should use the Platform SDK. You'll find almost any information you need in there ...
