Hi, just wanted to double-check with msi ppl and other wine developers if it's okay to add my conformance test to the test_MsiInstallProduct function. My reasons for doing this versus a completely separate test function are as follows:
1. The test is already testing a full product install (installs files, services, registry values, etc) and my modification will simply result in either no modification to these actions if UI level processing is good or complete failure if it is bad, which will make the problem very easy to diagnose. 2. Looking through instructions on msdn it seems that there isn't a kosher way to make a very simple MSI file that just, say, writes a registry value (without doing costing, install validation, having a full features table, installing some features, etc.) which would make a separate function easy to implement and it does not really seem necessary to copy and paste the whole test_MsiInstallProduct (or similar) function just to check UI level processing.
I could do a separate function, it just seems unnecessary.

p.s. For some reason, I can't compile the msi crosstests (it gives an error on linking with -lcabinet, whereas, say, kernel32 crosstests compile file), so if anyone can crosstest it for me that would be great :)
