Hi, everybody.
This is mahanare again.
Currently I need to work with msi setup files.
I learned how to create .msi files with InstallShield.
But one tool on which I am working needs the msi details through vc++ program. I learned that .msi is some sort of database.
some help is there in MSDN also.

I am on my search to retrieve information from the tables in the msi database.

If any body know about it, please do help me.
currently I am studying the various functions like MsiOpenDatabase(..) etc on net and on MSDN.

thanks in advance

cheers

Hi, friends...
I tried and got how to work with msi database.
actually .msi is a form of database.
I wrote a program which reads a table from the given .msi file.

I thought of pasting the code but at the same time I don't want to waste codeguru space.

cheers
