Virtually every book written for software developers stops when the program is complete. Unfortunately, they leave out a critical part – creating the software that installs the application, component or service you just wrote. For a company building and shipping software, the installation might be the first time the customer has seen the product or company, and the installation experience will make a lasting impression one way or the other. An unreliable installation will affect the customer’s image of the overall software and company. This book covers every aspect of using the Windows Installer – the underlying installer technology in Windows.
