IS2008 and MSI Books
Can anyone recommend a book to help me with MSI installers? I have recently upgraded from IS6 to IS2008 and now have a need to start writing MSI installers. I have gone through the tutorial, but it doesn't really help with anything.
Would either of these books help? Or any other recommendations?

Publisher: Apress; 1st ed. 2004. Corr. 2nd printing edition (April 26, 2004)

Thanks in advance.

From what I have seen you have listed the only two books out there.
However, Macrovision's web store sells an InstallShield MSI Installation guide that is $175.00. You might consider getting that.
I have the Windows Installer book you mentioned, but, I use it rarely. For using InstallShield, I think their own MSI Installation guide is much better.
