msiupdb=r"c:\temp\updatedMountPointGenerator.msi"
mstdb=r"C:\temp\MNPtrans.mst"

installer = win32com.client.Dispatch("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
database = installer.OpenDatabase(msidb, msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly)
updatedDB= installer.OpenDatabase(msiupdb , msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly)
updatedDB.GenerateTransform(database, mstdb)
