I don't know how I would run this on windows. I edited the wine code itself
and queried tables in the MSI database to troubleshoot the behavior of the
installer code. Then i retrieved the pertainent values from the results, as
in the case of the file table i retrieved the sequence value being returned
by the query
You'll have to figure out a way to tickle the problem with a plain old Windows
program written in C, I'm afraid. That's essentially what our
conformance tests are.
You can do it if you put your mind to it, I bet, but along the way
you'll acquire an advanced degree in MSI-ology :-)
