The InstallShield, MSI Projects course provides you with a solid understanding of installation terminology, the tasks an installation program needs to perform, and the InstallShield development environment.
In this course, you will learn how to customize your installation with custom actions in order to make changes to your end users’ systems. You will also see how to correctly identify, install, and configure special types of files (e.g., COM servers, Windows services, and .NET assemblies). Finally, you will understand how to perform simple to sophisticated changes to your installation’s user interface.
This course teaches you how to create Basic MSI projects, which use the Windows Installer service (MSI) for the installation’s behavior and appearance. This course does not cover InstallScript MSI projects.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
In this class you will learn how to:
- Create and organize an installation project
- Install files and create shortcuts
- Install and configure special types of files and data, such as registry and INI data, COM servers, Windows services, and .NET assemblies
- Work with MSI sequences and custom actions
- Customize your installer’s user interface
- Package your installer for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and later
- Use the Automation interface to modify your project outside the graphical environment
COURSE PREREQUISITES
Previous InstallShield experience is not required; however, you should be comfortable with the following:
- Using Windows Explorer and the command prompt to create and manage files, and run executables
- Basic Windows terminology (e.g. DLL, Control Panel, etc.)
Later sections of the course assume familiarity with programming or scripting languages such as VBScript, C or C++, and C#.

Event Details
TMurgent is bringing Tim Mangan and his world-renowned training back to The Netherlands, and now we focus exclusively on Packaging for MSIX.
The Masters Packaging for MSIX class will be run by TMurgent. This 4-day class is designed to accommodate students that are new to packaging, new to MSIX, and especially those with significant prior experience.
We will provide you with both theory and practical hands-on experience in our training lab. We will cover the commonly used tooling from Microsoft, our own tools, and a few others as well.
We recommend the in-person classroom experience, however remote students are accepted in this class also.
NOTE: YOU MUST REQUEST REMOTE AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO START OF CLASS!
Prerequisites:
The course is designed for people with a general background in IT and/or Packaging. We take students with or without prior experience in MSIX. Although Software Developers are not targeted for this course, and we will not be covering developer material, Developers are welcome.
There are no hard pre-requisites to be able to take the class, however, the following are helpful:
- Knowledge and experience with general Microsoft Windows Administration.
- Experience with other “packaging” techniques helpful.
- Experience with Application Deployment.
- Help Desk Experience.
The training site will provide desktop Computers to access the Labs. You are welcome to bring your own VMs, on your laptop or back in your office via VPN, but we do provide all of the VMs you need. Remote students will provide their own VMs based on information we provide after registration.
Syllabus
| IT Pro Masters Packaging for MSIX |
| A 4-day (in-person) or 8 half-days (when remote) hands-on class where you will learn the concepts, techniques, and latest tricks to be successful and packaging and configuring applications for delivery within the Enterprise using Microsoft MSIX.
Whether you use modern or traditional application delivery methods, the applications your company depends on must be customized, and in many cases remediated to work in today’s desktops. MSIX is the future for new applications, and while not all traditional applications will work in the MSIX container, this class will give you the ability to get the most application compatibility possible today. Syllabus 1. Concepts of Packaging
2. Overview of Delivery Options
3. Fundamentals of the MSIX Package Format and Runtime 4. Setting up VMs for Packaging and Testing
5. Packaging with App-V and MSIX
6. Debugging Techniques for MSIX and apps in general 7. Conversion from App-V to MSIX |
