Does anyone know how InstallShield creates a MIF file? I know it uses the the setup.ini to get the name - but does it is done internally or does it use some exe to create it?
Thanks,
Matt

It uses Microsoft's IsMif32.dll (on 32-bit platforms) aor IsMif16.dll (on 16-bit platforms).
The function it executes is InstallStatusMIF().
More info on these can be found from Microsoft's  Platform SDK Library documentation. Try the following URLs:
