How do I create MSI files?

[ridergroov]

Hey folks. I am currently studying for my XP exam and MSI, ZAP, and a
few other things keep coming up in the questions. I have never created
MSI files or anything like that and I can't find any info on creating
them. I have looked through my library of XP books and googled it and
I can't seem to find a straight up way of doing this. Can anyone point
me in the right direction? Thanks!

Very interesting, I looked up MSI in the Microsoft Computer Dictionary (5th
Edition) and the definition given was "medium- scale integration" which has
to do with building integrated circuits. I always thought it meant Microsoft
installation files. Am I ignorant or just behind the times? Wonder what his
professor really is asking about?

Maybe both, but certainly the first.

It's .msi (DOT MSI) idjut.

You might be dumber than the OP who doesn't even know how to use a
search engine.
