However all these tools and IDEs are actually just wrapper around the core technology - a relational database stored in a structured storage file.\n\nThis book teaches you how you can productively use free MSI editors to develop an installer for anything you want - without any need to buy expensive third-party tools. Understanding how the MSI internals work will put you in a position where you are able to create and fix any MSI package for any installation purpose.\n\nThe book is written for software developers, deployment engineers, system administrators, or anybody else who wants to learn creating installer package using the Windows Installer technology. The book is ideal both for MSI beginners and advanced learners who are looking for a reference book helping them with their daily work.\n\nThe book comes with a homepage easy-msi.com where you can download tools, sample solutions, and the answers for the self-test questions that close each chapter in order to measure your understanding.\n\nSincerely,\nRobin Fischer\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 3732283720\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.3732283720.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Fischer, Robin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: A well-loved companion.
