PDK MSI perl

PerlMSI Starter

Question:

I installed the Perl Dev Kit but don't see an icon for the PerlMSI utility. Am I missing something?

Answer:

PerlMSI does nt have a gui interface but instead a script ( 'msiwiz.pl' ) and MSI::Installer module. Our best suggestion for getting started with PerlMSI would be to read the documentation:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/PDK/6.0/PerlMSI/PerlMSI.html

...and take a look at the PerlMSI sample in the samples directory.

As well you will need to install the Microsoft Installer technology SDK.
