RE: [ActiveDir] converting .exe to .msi
Easiest way to do it is probably to use a snapshot utility. The Win2K CD came with a product called WinInstall LE, made by OnDemand Software. They have an updated version on their website that I think is pretty cheap if the original version doesn't do the job. Basically takes a before and after snapshot of a normal app. setup and then makes an MSI out of it.

See the CURRENT thread, “Logon Script with Admin Rights” as it is very relevant to your issue. WinInstall LE is a great, free tool. www.ondemandsoftware.com Well, I take that back… Just checked my URL and now it’s $50… still far from “steep”… http://www.ondemandsoftware.com/PurchaseLE.asp Dan From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Senthil Kumar Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 7:39 AM To: Active directory group Subject: [ActiveDir] converting .exe to .msi Dear all, I am having a installation program which is based on setup.exe .
