RE: Customized builds

It's been a while since I played with MSI (and thankful I am to be rid of
Wise Installer :) ), but I think another option is to create an MSI
transform (.MST file).

You can then run this as part of the TSVN installation (via a command line)
and it can change the settings that are part of the install.

If you understood msi really well you could likely use the microsoft msi
editor Orca and add things like registry settings.

However doing so would not be simple, and would require some knowledge on
how msi's work since they're basically just databases with a bunch of
predefined tables that the msi engine uses.

Hello, I'm rather new to the world of creating install packages on
Windows. I'd like to build a customized install for my organization
which has default registry settings (for auto-props, global ignores,
etc. that we want to set as defaults).

Is it possible for me to create a customized install without having to
build TSVN from scratch? I'd like to use the "official" TSVN but just
add some of my own settings.
