MSI Packager

[Brad Douglas]

Hi all,
I have heard that W2K server Res Kit packages with a MSI
packager or similar. However I am having trouble locating
it, Has anyone else heard of this or know of its location.
Thanks

Likely it does use an MSI to install. But you should never use an MSI to install if there is a setup.exe and I believe that is in there. When you run setup.exe nothing happens?

George, he is looking for the app that makes MSI packages, the the MSI to
install.
