I am a complete nubie.

I never used an installation program before.

Is there any documentation that can lead me through a complete install from start to finish? I don't even know where to begin.

Also, is thgere any way I can convert an Installshield install to an InstallAware install?Thanks for any help given. My boss needs to know this.

The only advice I can give is to take things *slowly*.

Do *not* jump in the deep end and try and write your complete product installer; start with something small, like installing a single Word DOC file into My Documents. Use the Visual Editor until you are comfortable with how installers work, what they do etc - then look at the MSI Code.

And I can only say again, take it slowly!
