The following list contains the main differences between Command Line option and Transforms. Having trouble deciding which to use? This may help.

  • A transform is persistent until the application is removed; as command-line actions apply only to the specific execution of the command line.
  • Transforms can modify both PUBLIC and private properties; command-line options for Windows Installer can only affect PUBLIC properties.
  • Both transforms and Windows Installer command-line options can affect directories and files; only transforms can perform actions that affect the registry.
