Om dette verktøyet

The MSI Package Builder converts a declarative manifest into a complete Windows Installer package. It reads a manifest that describes components, features, files, dependencies, upgrade rules, and signing settings, then validates structure and resolves interdependencies. Conceptually, the tool separates packaging logic from the artifact by encoding installer metadata in the manifest and emitting an MSI that adheres to Windows Installer standards. It is valuable for software vendors delivering installers, IT admins distributing internal apps, and DevOps teams automating build pipelines. Unique value lies in reproducible builds, manifest-driven configuration, and clear audit trails for compliance and rollback. Core features include manifest parsing, dependency graph resolution, ProductCode/UpgradeCode management, output MSI generation, and optional code signing integration. Use cases span enterprise software distribution, multi-architecture packaging, and CI/CD integration for automated MSI creation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Finn raske svar

How does manifest-driven packaging work?

The tool reads a structured manifest that defines components, features, files, and rules. It validates syntax, resolves dependencies, assigns Windows Installer codes, and outputs an MSI with the correct structure. This enables repeatable builds across environments and simplifies auditability.

What happens if dependencies cannot be resolved?

The build fails with a clear error indicating unresolved dependencies or cycles. It provides remediation tips, such as adjusting version constraints, reordering features, or adding missing components in the manifest to achieve a valid dependency graph.

Can I customize install actions or scripts?

Yes. The manifest supports optional custom actions and sequencing. When provided, the tool includes these actions in the MSI, respecting Windows Installer rules and ensuring proper sequence during install, repair, and uninstall scenarios.

What platforms and signing requirements are supported?

The tool targets Windows installers (MSI) and adheres to Windows Installer conventions. Code signing requires a valid certificate. Localization and multiple languages can be specified in the manifest. It does not produce non-MSI formats or cross-platform installers.
