Windows Installer sample databases and database schemas.

SUMMARY

The Database folder contains Windows Installer schema files you should use to create installations with
Windows Installer version 1.5. The schema files for earlier Windows Installer versions are in the folders
100, 110, and 120. For more information see the help file "Released Versions of Windows Installer" in the
SDK documentation. The samples provided in this folder are not supported by Microsoft Corporation. They
are provided "as is" because we believe they may be useful to you.

100 - This folder contains Windows Installer schema files you should use to create installations with
Windows Installer version 1.0.

110 - This folder contains Windows Installer schema files you should use to create installations with
Windows Installer version 1.1.

120 - This folder contains Windows Installer schema files you should use to create installations with
Windows Installer version 1.2.

INTL - This folder contains default international strings for error and action text database fields in the form
of .idt files. Developers should merge one of these into their schema file to get the resources for their
language. For more information see the help files "Localizing a Windows Installer Package" and
"Localizing the Action and Text Tables" in the SDK documentation.

Schema.msi - An empty Windows Installer database with all tables in the correct schema for a Windows
Installer package (.msi file).

Schema.msm -  An empty Windows Installer database with all tables in the correct schema for a Windows
Installer merge module (.msm file). For more information see the help section "Merge Modules" in the SDK

more information see the help section "Using a Sequence Table" in the SDK documentation.

Schema.log - A text file describing the schema changes between the versions.
