Gentlemen, I need your help. I had been tasked to create an MSI script for existing old-technology made installation. This distibutive was not made in out company so I have no access to original InstallShild project. Does any one know a tool that can take an exising setup application and write an MSI script same as it. Does any one can help me with some idea of mhow to do it with minimal time looses.
Best regards,
Iliya.
