Here's one technique that I find useful....
Open the MSI in Orca like normal and then create a transform. Paste your RTF in like normal and then tell it to Generate the transform. Close orca. Now you can use WiUseXfm.vbs to apply the transform to similarly created MSI's. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367577(v=vs.85).as px It's a quick hack but should work depending on your situation. ---------------------------------------- From: "Uma Harano" <uhar...@esri.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 11:43 AM To: "General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset." <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Import rtf file to a scrollable text control Thanks Rob! The LicenseAgreement I am trying to import into the Control table is 19 pages long and it is in rtf format. So I am not sure how I can import this using that vbs script. Should I: * Import using Orca for the first time. * Get the "formatted text" in the Text column of the Control table(created for me by Orca) and build SQL query using that. (It will be VERY long) * Run the SQL statement using the vbs script for future builds. What am I missing? Sorry about all these questions. Thanks!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Import rtf file to a scrollable text control You could use the wisql.vbs that comes with the MSI SDK.
