There are ways in GPO but none of them are pretty. Simplest might be to teach them to use policy to seed the registry with data then use AppSeach/RegLocator to pull that into properties.
MSSCCM using Collection Variables / Task Sequence variables is more powerful and easier to use. ---------------------------------------- From: "David Cramlet" <decram...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 1:43 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] User-Friendly Site-Specific Installation 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.
