Debugger for Windows Installer
" Professional and Enterprise Editions only.
The Debugger for Windows Installer is an easy-to-use tool that lets you step through an
installation to isolate and resolve problems. You can view the installation’s actions and
their properties, the installation database tables, and the Windows Installer log file, and
you can evaluate conditions. Use the debugger when an installation doesn’t perform as
you anticipated and you can’t readily determine why.
