As a bit of a break from SMS, I've been looking at MSI files the last few days.

It was prompted by a colleague reminding me that the next big thing will be package deployment through SMS - something we haven't even looked at yet.

To help me on my way I've found AdminStudio SMS Edition: http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/downloads/2003/featurepacks/adminstudio/default.asp which had no problems generating an MSI of Firefox 1.0: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/  .

I then tried to generate a MSI of MS Photo Editor, but I need to play with InstallShield Tuner to get it to install a fully functioning piece of software - the file associations are screwed up .

I'll try deploying Firefox tomorrow - wish me luck!
