Issues addressed in this hotfix:

 

Issue: DTR 297175 (18313) – Transforms created by Discover report error during installation.

 

Description: Transforms created by Discover cause MSI installations to fail with error code 1624.

 

Resolution: A number of problems were found and corrected when creating the “After” MSI file used to generate the transform, including incorrect paths used, and File/Media table consistency issues.

 

Issue: DTR 297161 (18302) – Discover is unable to produce MSI transforms correctly from an MSI package.

 

Description: Discover does not correctly produce an MSI transform (MST file) when asked to do so via the Advanced wizard selection.

 

Resolution: Several changes were made to Discover to correct transform generation issues, including a new MSITemplate.cab file with schema information for MSI 1.0 (pre-release for some Office releases), and changes to use the correct logic for determining whether or not to generate a transform.

 

Issue: DTR 300576 – Transform created by Discover can't find needed files.

 

Description: Transforms created for certain MSI files can contain references to source file paths that conflict with file paths in the original MSI files, resulting in the install failing when the referenced files cannot be found.

 

Resolution: Some issues were corrected with conflicting file locations (folders).  In cases where the “Before” and “After” MSI files have collisions in file locations, the files will be relocated according to the “Before” MSI file’s Directory table.
