My guess:

Instance transforms default to validation flags of "abcdefruy". In your
case, you don't want the "r", so you would instead need all except that. The
torch validation flags value you would need would then be: "abcdefuy".

Assuming you don't change from build-to-build anything that sets your
environment, you should be able to build transforms just once and then
simply use them on your daily builds.

Subject: [WiX-users] InstanceTransforms and Major Upgrades

I have continuous integration build process that automatically deploys a
.net web application project as a major upgrade using a wix installer.
Normally the installer would first be installed to an integration
environment, then another build would "promote" the installation to QA, then
to Production.

For my current application all of these environments are on the same
machine. I am trying to get the whole process working with InstanceTranforms
and an Instance for each "environment".

Looking at this thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg26469.html

it seems that this should be feasible to implement (I haven't gotten it
working yet) but I am running into a small issue in the build process
because the Tranform ProductCode attribute doesn't accept the auto-generate
syntax "*" like the Product's Id attribute does and I will need these to
change with each build as well.

is this by design due to some technical limitation? i can have the build
update the ProductCode for each Instance but i was wondering if updating the
wix source to support the syntax would be a better idea?

TIA,

steve
