You can create a transform that customizes another transform. Example: Suppose you are deploying a new office automation application to your organization's office in Germany. Everyone in that office needs the German-language version of the installation, but only the Sales department needs the application's contact management component. First, you create a language transform to change the language of the installation dialog boxes to German. Then you use InstallTailor to create a second transform, based on the first transform, that installs the contact management component. When the second transform is run, it applies the first transform to the base installation, then applies the second transform. See Creating a Transform With Wise InstallTailor on page 12.
