MSI Package

[Lexxus]

Are MSI packages workstations specific? What I mean is if I create an
MSI Package for software using a dell for the installation and
snapshot and then deploy to a gateway will that be an issue? any help
is appreciated.

The hardware doesn't make any practical difference. The main difference
you'll run into is versions of the OS and what set of them the app you're
installing should work on. Does the app run on 95, 98, 98 SE, ME, NT, 2000,
XP, 2003 etc. What redistributables does it need? .NET framework? MDAC? VB
Runtime?

Unless you capture hardware changes - these are machine
specific so you need to be aware of that.
