I stumbled upon this site and wanted to share it with you. It contains MSI tips and notes - very handy for beginners.

It covers and explains the below topics in a nice and simple manner.

- Fixing up a failed uninstall
- File versions vs. ProductVersion
- Some property names (silly)
- Add or Remove Programs properties
- Logging switches
- Merge modules and properties
- AppSearching
- Launching a batch file in a custom action
- "Sorry, but..."
- Taking inventory of installed products, features, and components
- Script custom action notes
- Common property problems
- Investigating self-repair
- "How do I create a nested installation?"
- Using SpawnWaitDialog
