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

 [-Patch <String[]>] [-Transform <String[]>] -LiteralPath <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.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

test-msiproduct .\example.msi -include ICE0* -exclude ICE03 -v

Output all messages from ICEs 01 through 09 except for ICE03.

EXAMPLE 2

test-msiproduct .\example.msi -patch .\example.msp -add .\tests\custom.cub

Apply example.msp to example.msi, then run all the default and custom ICEs.
