MSI Setup

HI,
Is this possible to prepare setup.msi instead of setup.exe in Installshield(Installscript MSI Project)?.
Any Help is appreciated.

Please see the following KB articles:

Q105713: FAQ: Why Do I Have To Include a Setup.exe for InstallScript MSI Projects?

Q108166: HOWTO: Deploying an MSI Wrapped with an InstallShield Script-Based Setup.exe

Also note that for InstallShield 2009, InstallScript MSI projects include support for using the InstallScript engine as an embedded UI handler. The benefit of this functionality is that it does not require you to use Setup.exe. However, this does require Windows Installer 4.5. If Windows Installer 4.5 may not be present, you'd need to add it as an InstallShield prerequisite, and that would require Setup.exe. Here's a help topic that provides more information, in case you're curious:
