i'm using adminstudio and i found that there is a program named Tuner, i think that this program for creating install with transforms, i tried to make the installer but i couln't, because i don't know how to use it, i wanted to make office 2003 installer, i have the installer and i have got the .mst file, but i don't know how to do it, maybe some one know how to if, i think that with this program we can shrink the office 2003 like the "shrink methot" and to have office installer, so if anyone know how to use please TELL US!!!!!tnx

Tuner is meant for customizing the installation options (filling in the key, changing install location, supressing certain billboards, making the install completely unattended) without modifying the original source. This way people who have purchased the program of whatever msi file they are customizing will still be able to get full technical support. Transforms are very useful if many dept. configs need to be used from a msi network source.
A .mst file is comparable to a setup.iss file for individual use.

A full blown msi editor would be better suited to help shrink an msi.

Transforms are used like this
msiexec /i "ProductName.msi" TRANSFORMS="YourTransform.mst"

so i can't shrink software, right with adminstudio Tuner??just tell what does the packaging wizard inside the Tuner...when i push it copies all my office installer files to destination folder, i though in this way it can copy the right files, that i configured with the transform or something like that

That wizard basically just copies the source and wraps the setup.exe to trigger the installer & the transform file.
