MSI Transform Type

There are two types of transforms:

  • Secure transforms:
    These transforms are cached in a directory where the user does not own write permission.
  • Unsecure transforms:
    The local copy of the transform is stored in the user profile’s application directory; they are "open" for users.
    Advantage: If the user is a "traveling user" all customizations performed by the transform follow the user when he works at a different workstation.

It is recommended to use secure transforms.
