Hi,

after installing Continuous integration with compile and build of unit
tests in our software project for each checkin (almost -- Clearcase
does not support changesets) I would like to go further and test my
MSI setups created with WiX.

Because I did not find too much about this topic by googling I wanted
to ask if there is somebody around here testing his/her MSIs. What I
would like to test are things like if it is installing at all for
different flavors of Windows, if Registry stuff is written on install
and removed on uninstall, if the program is able to start up and so
on. What I have found:

- http://remoteinstall.codeplex.com/ but designed for
CruiseControl.NET, I am not sure if it would work with Jenkins, last
release about 2 years ago and no new check-ins since a year
- https://github.com/dblock/vmwaretasks as a pre-requisite for remote install

But not much more. What I have in place are a Jenkins master and about
10 Slaves and VMWare Workstation. It would be cool if I could start up
a virtual machine per OS flavor, install one or more MSIs and run some
unit tests using MSTest on this machine and let Jenkins collect test
results via xunit.

Do you have some tips on tools I could use?

Many thanks for any hints!
Dirk
