This came about when I was having problems getting Roxio CD & DVD Creator to install and run properly after a silent install.

After spending a few hours at it I thought I would try my hand at editing the MSI using ORCA. Here are the results and since I don't want to have to say I wasted 6 hours on one project I am planning on doing this for other apps and posting the info here for others. It may be slow going. If others want to take on an app or two PM the instructions to me and I'll and them to this page. Changes are in red. No switches required just run the MSI.

Before, I do that too. I like editing my msi's directly. Especially for huge softwares that are not practical to convert to an sfx.

I can also post some here. smile.gif
