Software Deployment

Yes, it works, but you need to capture on XP and not on Windows 7. You also need to take care of Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders. Also registries.
If you want your file to go in Program Files rather than Program Files (x86) which will be by default then you have to mark your component as a 64 bit component.

It will for most things. Just make sure you check SET on an Xp and Win7 machine and compare the System variables and ensure your variable/path is correct for both. Keep in mind that Wise and UAC may not get along so well.

I should also add, you may want to start looking at AdminStudio/InstallShield (free trial) as well as monitor Flexara for possible patches for Wise.

Does anyone know if Wise 7.0 SP3 works with Win 7
To answer your question directly - Yes, i have a Windows 7 VM with Wise 7.0 SP3 and i have had no problem creating transform files to change files and so on.

As to your issue, How are you applying the transform file MSIEXEC <Package Name> TRANSFORMS=<Transform.MST>? Are any other changes from the transform (If there are any) coming through?

As for your client you might want to let them know that Flexera acquired Wise and are moving to a One product to rule them all solution, that one product being - Admin Studio. If you want to try a free trial for admin studio to see if this is causing /contributing to your Wise/Windows 7 issue you can look into free trials here:

Do you mean that the files in the MST aren't being installed at all or just not in the correct location? For the former, as already pointed out, check the command line you're using. For the latter, you're aware of the different '%ProgramFiles% paths between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows?
