As you may have seen from several posts in this newsgroup, MSI support is
both a step backwards, and a MUST at quite some customers. CITRIX is able to
roll out a MSI Script painlessly, where the customers has to repack the
..exe's created by SetUpBuilder.

Friederich has finished his MSI support to the point, where we have got a
pretty solid Beta version of the product.
As a beta, it has its shortcomings, but until now, it has been able to make
the necessary MSI scripts for our Citrix customers.
We have sent the first out last week, and got no negative feedback from a
generally difficult customer.

Next week we are planning to send a major update to +400 customers ..
The CD will contain:

The 'Usual' setup.exe.
Programfolder.msi
Datafolder.msi

The two later to be used as silent programline based scripts for the
professionals, and the setup.exe as the file that starts with the
autorun.inf.

All in all - Excellent work as usual from 'Hernn Linder' - He will know why
on a sonday....

Best regards
