Nullsoft doesn't provide anything MSI-related at all ;-) It simply compiles your script directly into an executable. The reason I suggested it as an alternative to InstallShield is because there are probably more users that could contribute to building/maintaining an .nsi script vs. an .ism (that requires a commercial license). Tomcat's installer is based on Nullsoft, after all. > Opening our previous installer in orca should let you browse where the > appropriate registration keys are. Yeah, I opened up isapi_redirect.msi with a copy of Wise I had lying around; I assume you're referring to the two entries in the ISIISCommon table? > Any tool that doesn't provide arbitrary table data for the installer > schema (including IS - which happens to provide it) isn't worth > investigating. The thing I don't like about MSI, to quote Joel Spolsky, is that it suffers from ``leaky abstractions''[1]; That is, a developer should be able to leverage the abstraction provided by MSI tables such that they never have to know the underlying details behind how COM/.NET components are registered, how IIS virtual directories are created, etc. In reality, the reverse applies; the people that know how to do those tasks manually would rarely know how to represent the information in MSI tables. So, although Nullsoft doesn't allow you to utilize arbitrary table data, it does allow you to pretty much anything else, so you could manually do IIS virtual directory creation if need be (and you've got the added benefit of more people likely to know and be able to build .nsi scripts).
