Hi all!

I just wanted to see if I am getting the right idea for creating MSI installs for applications in general.

This is pretty much what I have guessed (haven't tried it yet).

1) Run Discoverer from WinInstall LE on a clean windows install.
2) Install <Application>
3) Customize <Application> using <whatever> plus through the application settings.
4) Run Discoverer again.
5) Create MSI using WinInstall LE

Is that just about right?

I have also noticed some people using 7Zip but I do not understand the reason.
Shouldn't the MSI be enough to install the application?

Also I have noticed some installs deleting folders and such.
Most of it seems obvious (like folders for different Windows versions).
Also some people have separated components from different applications.

Is there any advice or notes or anything on what to look for or what to pull out when customising an application? (badly worded question but hopefully I got the point across).

TIA!

Nobody?

Help ... Anyone??

yea thats about right but i dont really like that method,, it seems to keep reinstalling it self every time i use it,, like for example i did that with my old style of registry first aid and it seems every time i wanted to use it,,, it had to reinstal it self,, very strange lol

good luck but yes your right on your thoughts

ps, id only use this program as a last resort

Cool, Thanks for the advice!

What methods do you suggest though, if this one is problematic?
