The complementary tool xml2msi reconstructs the .msi / .msm from the XML file.
There are several possible uses for msi2xml/xml2msi:
- Quality assurance: use the human readable XML file to compare changes between different versions of a .msi file.
- Version control: many version control systems are text based. Store the XML file instead of the .msi file.
- Automated build systems: using xml2msi, existing installations may be updated with new files, and automatically rebuilt."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
