Test-MSIProduct [-Path] <String[]> [-AdditionalCube <String[]>] [-Exclude <String[]>] [-Include <String[]>]

[-NoDefault] [-Patch <String[]>] [-Transform <String[]>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Internal consistency evaluators (ICEs) are custom actions that validate whether a product is authored as

specified. If Orca or MsiVal2 is installed, the default ICE .cub ("ICE cube") file is used by default, and you can

specify custom ICE cube.



You can also apply any number of patches or transforms before running ICEs. This allows you to evaluate a product

that is transformed by, for example, a patch to also make sure the changes made by a patch or valid.
