Dear all,
I hope this is a correct group to ask this. I have a setup project in
Visual Studio 2003 which creates a MSI file. I would like to package
the MSI file into an EXE file for distribution, because I have a
feeling that my users would feel more comfortable with an EXE file
than a file with some obscure extension. So what I am looking for is
an EXE file which will extract the MSI file from itself into temporary
directory, and run it. Something like WinZip does, but without all the
ugly dialog boxes telling the user that it's WinZip being run. I wrote
something like this in C++, but my users report that it doesn't work
on VIsta and I don't have a Vista PC to debug it. It should be a
simple program to write, so maybe someone has done it already?
Regards,
Michau.
