Which installer are you using? I've been using WiX, which creates .msi files from XML descriptions. As with most software, it trades ease of use for power. It provides raw access to the system installer instead of a pretty GUI for very simple install scenarios. http://wixtoolset.org/ .msi files are databases with tables declaring where things go. The tables may contain binary blobs with embedded DLLs to take special actions beyond the ability of Windows' built-in installer. You can view and edit an MSI database using the Orca utility included with Visual Studio. Look for the orca.msi file after you install Visual Studio. On my system with multiple VS versions I find the installer here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\Orca.Msi C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x86\Orca-x86_en-us.msi --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
