Adding a MST to configuration script
I am trying to use the Kace 1000 Configuration Policies MSI installer to install a software using the MSI and trying to figure out how to get an MST to load in with the MSI. I have created the MST and I figure I will have to change the command line to transform using the MST.

Flash as an example: msiexec /i install_flash_player_31_active_x.msi /t install_flash_player_31_active_x.mst /qn

Thank you for the command line. How will Kace know where to find the mst file? - pmcasey 5 years ago

I upload the zip of both msi and mst, then using KACE variables, it runs from the cache location; whatever it will be. See screenshot I added; maybe, can't seem to add one.
Okay... so On Success, I Launch a program...
Directory: $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)
File: msiexec
check the Wait for completion
Parameters: /i install_flash_player_31_active_x.msi /t install_flash_player_31_active_x.mst /qn - worzie 5 years ago
You need to use the below property to apply the transform.
msiexec /i myinstaller.msi TRANSFORMS=Your.MST /qn
The /t is only valid(?) when you're advertising the product, which ive never done before. If you are unsure if the transform is being applied, just enable the msi logging.
*edit, grammar corrections.

A minor correction, if I may? ALWAYS use logging! If something goes wrong and you don't have a log, you'll waste so much time trying to determine what happened.
when [your] you're advertising the product, which ive never done before
In the years that I've been doing this, I've never worked for a client who advertised applications.
