Patching an MSI created with Visual Studio 2005 Setup projects .vdproj
原标题:

Folks,

What should be the process of patching an MSI file that was created by VS 2005 using the setup projects ?

I need to create an MSP file that will replace a few files only; is this doable via VS or any other tools ?

问题回答

You can modify MSI files by using the COM object with the ProgId WindowsInstaller.Installer. It s pretty easy to do via JavaScript, or C++, or C#, or whatever language you like.

I don t know what an MSP is. This answer shows a a Javascript program that modifies an MSI file in place.
