NEWS AND RUMORS

MSI 3 Available

The redistributable package for Windows Installer 3.0 is now available. It can be installed on the following versions of Windows:

Windows XP SP2 already includes MSI 3.0. Windows Server 2003 SP1 will include MSI 3.1.

The build number of the redistributable version is 3.0.3790.2538, which is slightly higher than the version that comes with XP SP2 (3.0.3790.2180). The file name follows Microsoft's new naming convention to include a reference to a KB article. Information about this release and the issues that are addressed in MSI 3.0 can be found in knowledge base article 884016. The download page has a language selection box, but the exe file appears to be identical for all languages.

http://www.msifaq.com/a/1002.htm

There is also a white paper that describes the patch sequencing functionality in Microsoft® Windows Installer version 3.0. Beginning with the theory of patch sequencing in Windows Installer version 3.0 and finishing with specific sequencing sample techniques for controlling the lifetime of patches through supersedence relationships, this document identifies the concepts of patch migration and compatibility, advanced sequencing scenarios, and integration of sequencing with other features of the Windows Installer.
