dumb question - where is msimsp.exe?

[digitalman]

When trying to build a patch, a dialog pops up asking for MsiMsp.exe. I searched my entire drive for this file and can't find it. Is it not included with AI?

Hi,

This file comes with Microsoft Platform SDK. You can download Microsoft Platform SDK from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

If you want to install only the tools you can use folowing command line:

Code: Select all

msiexec /i http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/2600.2180/PSDK-x86.msi /qr ADDLOCAL=SDK_MSI_BIN

After you download and install this file Advanced Installer will automaticaly detect it.

Best Regards,
Gigi

Thanks. I did try searching the forums for this answer but got 11 pages of results and did not see it.

I tried the command line version of the install you suggested for just the tools and MsiMsp.exe does not get installed. I will try doing a full install of the PSDK now.
