I'm still lost with this one, the files do definitely exist in the locations, you can see WPKG call the MSI (you see the configuring windows installer screen) which disappears almost instantly.

 

I'm using the following install command (last one did have a % symbol missing in my e-mail but I'd typed it by hand into the e-mail and it wasn't missing from the package xml:

 

<install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\OpenMindSP5\Setup.msi" TRANSFORMS="%SOFTWARE%\OpenMindSP5\copysn.mst" /qb-' />

 

Is this how I should be applying transform files?
