Free Merge Module Software

MAKEMSI by Dennis Bareis

Create or update MSI (Windows Installer) based installers for files, registry etc using an XML like script. Can use in automated builds (NMAKE, ANT, NANT builds etc). A HTML report can be created (with a "file verify" button). For both beginners and advanced users. Common processes can be defined once and reused in multiple projects (templates). Has extensive documentation and a large user group.

MSIDIFF by Dennis Bareis

MSIDIFF is freeware to compare or disassemble Windows Installer databases (a "MSI to TEXT" utility). While it is a command line based tool, the installer creates shell extensions so that the decompile operations can be invoked by right clicking on a file in Explorer. The output can be processed by my MAKEMSI tool to automate the change in future.
