Installer File name

Hi,

I read in this article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr ... 09628.aspx

That Windows detects Installers through file names, following this tip, Is it better to include setup in the file name for the installer

I mean ProductSetup.msi is better than Product.msi???

It's hard to think that Windows does this kind of detection :-)

Thanks,
Cosmin

Re: Installer File name

Hi,

Please note that this detection is performed only for non-MSI installation packages. Windows Installer packages are recognized automatically as installers. Therefore, the name of the MSI doesn't matter.
