Howto create MSI package from Web build exe?

Post by QooScho »

Hello,

I always generate a compressed Web Build Setup. It generates in the output folder the "myprogramsetup.exe" file.
Now there is the question for an MSI package for some customers.
I know that in the uncompressed directory layout a MSI file will be automatically produced.

It is not clear to me how can I create the Web Build Setup AND also a MSI Setup file?
how can you do this?

regards
Hans

Hans,

You cannot - InstallAware uses EXE, not MSI. If you really need an MSI, you can create a single-exe setup and wrap it with the group policy wizard, which will create an MSI.
