Smoke - Windows Installer Validation Tool (Download)

The Windows Installer validation tool I’ve been babbling about for a few days now is available for download on DeployNow!  Stop by and check it out:

http://www.deploynow.com/Articles/Details.aspx?ID=2

I’ve even enhanced it a bit more to allow for either delimited text output, or xml.

Included in the zip file is a sample batch file that shows how conditional logic can be applied based on smoke’s return value to take alternative courses of action if problems creep into your msi files.

Enjoy – and make sure you link to it, blog about it, and give me some feedback on it!

FYI, tried to post a complimentary comment on DeployNow but never got a password emailed... Nice to be able to validate MSIs on WinServer2K3, where msival2 does not work!

Hello,
Yup, DeployNow still down. Very anxious to try this out.. I'm looking for something that works on 2K3 :)
