This may be more of a general Windows Installer question than a WiX question.

I have a deployment group asking if there is any way to make
site-specific installation any easier than the "msiexec command-line
magic" or "Orca voodoo" that transforms seem to require. Notably, this
is for sites that are not using GPO-style deployment, since Windows
takes care of applying the transforms in that case.

After some initial research, I am beginning to think the only other
options would be a transform-aware bootstrapper, or just building a
custom MSI for each site.

Since they always have exactly one transform for the product in
question, the first thing I (perhaps foolishly) tried was adding the
TRANSFORMS property to the Property table of the MSI, with a value
along the lines of "@SiteSpecific.mst" (with such an MST in the same
folder as the MSI). As you might expect, this (and various variations
thereof) had no discernible effect.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
David Cramlet
