Hi Edwin, Dirk, and All,

Those are some interesting ideas to ponder. But I also think I should
clarify my situation. In my case, the issue isn't so much with
creating the site-specific transforms. That task is performed by
support staff proficient with the tools, and we have other reasons to
have the transforms handy.

Rather the issue is with applying the transform; when the installer
and appropriate transform are handed to the "end user" groups. (As I
mentioned previously, even this isn't a problem if the group is
familiar with assigning software via GPO, since they can just pick the
transform file as part of the policy.) However, where we run into
problems is with groups where IT has limited experience with
large-scale deployment.

They really want to just "double-click the MSI and move on". The idea
of using a command-line, or (bafflingly) even a batch file, makes
them... grouchy. (Almost as much as when they decide to skip the
transform and have to answer the installer's questions via UI on each
of however-many workstations.)

Thank you for your thoughts,
David Cramlet
