How's your msi builder going? I would be interested to try it out - although I probably don't have too much time over Christmas.

I got so far that I can initialize the schema, i.e. I have code that takes the current schema, and dumps it into a Python source file, which, when run, will restore the schema. This includes data for the validation and install sequence tables.

I was next looking at including the actual files, and was planning to supply a single CAB stream. I got stuck finding a CAB API, and plan to invoke cabarc.exe instead to generate the CAB file.

This was a couple of weeks ago, I have made no progress since.

Regards, Martin
