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?
Getting Started with InstallShield Developer and Windows Installer Setups Author: Bob Baker Publisher: InstallShield Press ISBN: 0-9715708-0-9 950 pages, paperback with CD-ROM This appears to be very old (InstallShield 7)
The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer (Expert's Voice in Net)Paperback: 260 pages Publisher: Apress; 1st ed. 2004. Corr. 2nd printing edition (April 26, 2004) Language: English ISBN-10: 1590592972
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.
