The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer (eBook, PDF)

Produktbeschreibung

* Comprehensive Guide to Windows Installer technology - applicable for all languages and tools on the Microsoft platform.

* Focus on use from Visual Studio and Visual Studio .NET means it does not require purchase of a separate high-priced installation tool (from InstallShield or Wise). The Windows Installer ships with Visual Studio .NET resulting in increasing market share-and the need for this book.

Autorenporträt

Phil Wilson graduated from the University of Aston in Birmingham, U.K. with a bachelor's degree in chemistry, but he preferred computers to test tubes and eventually worked for 15 years on developing operating systems for Burroughs and Unisys mainframes. Phil started programming for Windows in the early 1990s and has developed in MFC, ATL COM, Visual Basic, and C#. He has been involved in installation design and technology for about eight years, and he became a Microsoft "Most Valuable Professional" for Windows Installer in 2003. To get away from computers, he plays and records guitar, and enjoys camping in the California desert.
