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#.

Knowledge and experience with SQL Server Administration.
Experience with other “packaging” techniques helpful.
Experience with App-V Administration and Sequencing.

Remote students (only) will be required to build your own VMs at your site prior to the start of the class:

Each student will require two Windows VMs.
Our pre-class prep kit will provide detailed written instructions, a video introduction to building the VMs, and installers for the tools needed.
Any type of hypervisor may be used, but the student must have access to create and revert to “snapshots”.
You will need additional storage on a share for the application installers and created packages.
It is highly recommended that students have two monitors, microphone, video camera, and earphones.

In-person students (when available) need to bring a laptop with wireless lan to tap into lab equipment provided.
