Hi,

I've been searching and searching for straight C# code to be able to
crack open an MSI file and read the information out of the installer
tables. I see all kinds of VBScript on how to accomplish this. I saw
one example where msi.dll was being referenced and C# the language
being used, but the example was very sparse and incomplete.

So - I figured I would ask here - does anyone know of any way to query
information from the MSI tables using C# / .NET 2.0? I have an
automated installer application I'm working with, and this information
would be quite valuable to get at.

Thanks in advance!
