Windows installer question
When an applicaiton is installed using a transform how does windows installer keep track of the transform? While trying to uninstall an application I receive an "error applying transform". I've been unable to find how windows is determining what transform to apply. The msi and transform are located in the C:\Windows\Installer directory and I can open the MSI in Orca and apply the transform in that folder without a problem.
