Building or Updating MSIs
Building or Updating MSIs |
The build process can be invoked in these main ways:
- From Windows Explorer, using
right mouse click (context menu) options on ".MM" files.
- From the command line via the
MM batch files.
- A silent (unattended)
install
(from ANT/NMAKE scripts or batch files in automated build processes).
MAKEMSI pretty much treats all ".MM" scripts the same so whether you are
building or updating an MSI or building a merge module or MSI validation suite,
the basic process is the same.
For more details about the build process see the
"Build Steps" section.
Note that ultimately MAKEMSI uses "PPWIZARD" to invoked to build or
update all Windows Installer databases.
