MAKEMSI Downloads

Written by a Microsoft MVP to create or update MSI (Windows Installer) based installers for files, registry etc using an XML like script. Has command line support for use in unattended builds (NMAKE, ANT, NANT builds etc). MAKEMSI will build a HTML report by default (with a "file verify" button). For both beginners and advanced users.

Common processes can be defined once and reused in multiple projects (templates). Has extensive documentation and a large user group (500+ members). A MSI compare or disassemble tool is available which generates MAKEMSI output, this is commonly used by people wishing to automate tasks they currently use ORCA for.

MAKEMSI also has a framework for easy MSM (merge module) and CUB (MSI validation suite) building.

Note: Some antivirus and antispyware programs flag MAKEMSI as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to you...
