Utility for the Windows® Installer Internet Download Bootstrapper</span></h1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Msistuff.exe is a configuration utility for Setup.exe, the
bootstrap executable for Microsoft® Windows® Installer version 3.0. Msistuff
provides the user with the ability to configure certain resources within
setup.exe. Setup.exe uses the values of these resources to download and install
Windows® Installer packages from the web. </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thus, using Msistuff.exe, anyone can quickly configure
setup.exe to download and install a package of their choice from the web
without modifying or recompiling setup.exe.</p>
<h3><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Building the sample</span></h3>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The sample can be built by
running the following command from a Platform SDK build environment window: </span></p>
<pre> nmake</pre>
<p class=MsoNormal>In order to build the sample clean, the following commands
should be used: </p>
<pre> nmake clean</pre><pre> nmake</pre>
