Create a Transform (MST) file
This article describes how to prepare Transform (MST) file for Windows installer.
What is a Transform?
A Transform (*.MST) file allows you to collect installation options for programs that use the Microsoft Windows Installer in a file. They can be used on the Installer (MSIEXEC.EXE) command line, or used in a software installation Group Policy in a Microsoft Active Directory domain.

The tool provides a graphical interface for validation, highlighting the particular entries where validation errors or warnings occur. More details can be found on Microsoft web-site.
