"exe2msi" feature test

[NewsArchive]

All,

Sometimes you just need an existing .exe installer in .msi format. We have
added a new "#exe2msi..." compiler directive to SetupBuilder 7 Developer
Edition that allows to wrap .exe installations up as an MSI to simplify
distribution issues. This new feature makes use of our native SetupBuilder
MSI compiler technology.

If you have a few minutes, please download and test the following
code-signed setup.msi installer:

http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/setup.msi

The file setup.msi is a native MSI (see msi1.jpg).

1. Start setup.msi.

2. The MSI will launch the wrapped .exe installer (see msi2.jpg).

Note: on an UAC-aware operating system, the installer will request
administrator execution level privileges and you'll see an elevation prompt.

3. The "real" .exe installer will display a Welcome screen, a Custom Dialog
and a Finish Dialog (see msi3.jpg - msi5.jpg)

Of course, the installer will not do anything on your machine. It just
"simulates" an installation.

Important note: if there is a delay before anything seems to happen after
you started the setup.msi, well, that's the nature of MSI and we can't speed
things up <g>.

If there is any problem, please let me know.

Thank you for your help!
