Adding data to _Streams
Hello,
I am explicitly adding a cabinet file to _Streams table as,
[font="courier new"]msidb.exe -d MySetup.msi -a MyCab.CAB
But I have to manually make entries to File, Component etc. tables for the files that are present in this CAB (CAB that was explicitly added as shown above). If there are 100 files, it actually kills my patience. Is there any way, any tool that will do this for me. I am looking for something that will make entries to File, Component etc. tables the moment I explicitly add CAB file.
Thanks in advance!!

Easy. Either:
- build a script and use the WindowsInstaller.Installer object for that and the Cabinet SDK API to handle the CAB, or
- buy MSI authoring software, e.g. Wise or InstallShield.
