RogueSpear Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 While on the topic of creating .msi files, I thought I'd ask a question to see what sort of response there would be. I've made literally dozens of repacked .msi files for a wide range of applications using InstallShield AdminStudio. I realize that this tool may not have a huge audience here since it is a rather expensive suite.Would there be any interest here if I were to create a guide to making msi files with this tool? It would be a bit of work and I'd hate to do it if there wasn't anyone who would benefit from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 didn't mazin post a step by step guide awhile back with examples of individual programs using WinInstall LE?As for AdminStudio, i think it's the simplist. You start the repackager, tell it the app setup program, install the program, and it records the changes into the MSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSpear Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 In my experience, it's rarely that simple. There are an aweful lot of gotchas involved at least 80% of the time. Also on the topic, I have done quite a bit of direct msi editing when making an mst just doesn't do it (Daemon Tools for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoymola Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I tried creating an msi for firefox but I always fail. I'm using InstallShield X Express. I will read the guide and try building it again with WinInstall LE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
