MSI to WSI Conversion
install to the same directory. Example: Suppose the installation Application.msi
contains both a Windows NT version and a Windows 98 version of the file
pshop.dll. Only one file gets installed, depending on the operating system the
installation runs on. In an installation with duplicate files, MSI to WSI Conversion
cannot change the paths to point to your local computer, because your local
computer only contains one copy of the file. For these files, either leave them set
to the default, which will extract all copies of the file from the .MSI, or
individually replace them with the appropriate files from your computer.
•Selected Directory Contains Administrative Install
Select this if a directory on your computer or network contains an administrative
installation. Select the same directory you selected as the root directory for the
administrative installation. An administrative installation mimics the directory
structure of the installed application and allows for network installations. Unlike
a normal installation, an administrative installation has a copy of every file that
the installation contains. This option pulls files from the directory structure
created by an administrative installation.
Files are matched by name. The first found instance is used. The Source column on
the File Sources dialog changes to Local to indicate that local files will be used
instead of files from the .MSI. If the search is unsuccessful, a dialog lists the files
that were not found.
