I don't know how I would run this on windows. I edited the wine code itself and queried tables in the MSI database to troubleshoot the behavior of the installer code. Then i retrieved the pertainent values from the results, as in the case of the file table i retrieved the sequence value being returned by the query
You'll have to figure out a way to tickle the problem with a plain old Windows program written in C, I'm afraid. That's essentially what our conformance tests are. You can do it if you put your mind to it, I bet, but along the way you'll acquire an advanced degree in MSI-ology :-) - Dan
