MSIStudio is an application which allows users to package their
applications into installations based on the industry standard
Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) technology. This technology
provides a consistent and stable platform for installing software on
Windows based operating systems. It is also the most direct way to
achieve Microsoft Windows Logo certification for software
installation.
MSIStudio is a comprehensive solution for building bullet-proof
installations using this technology. It also provides many advanced
features not directly supported by the underlying Microsoft
technology such as user/group administration, RAS connection
configuration, and much more...
