Interfacing to the API of Windows Installer would be simplified by going through an ADO recordset instead of the view - fetch and view - execute, etc.

Since the MSI is a database and Mircosoft's universal database access is based on OLE DB, is there an OLE DB wrapper or driver for the MSI database?

Hello,
Is their and ODBC/OLEDB Driver for accessing the MSI Database Table directly from Visual Basic?
I need to write some application which query the msi database and obtain different information for validation/documentation purpose and writes to SQL Database before releasing the product. If any driver is available I can customize it for my requirements (Like Accessing Access database from Visual Basic)
I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks.

I'm really interested in this too, but for different reasons, and because of that any solution which fits this critera would be great for me.
I need to basically create a flow diagram or database schema diagram of my install, its a pretty huge install.
If Stefen or anyone else has a tool for this or an OLE DB driver I'd cry for it right now

As far as I know such a driver doesn't exist. You'll have to use the MSI API/automation
