Kyle, thanks for the link on ICE. Sebastian was correct, though. I was
referring to tests to ensure the product was installed or removed correctly.
Obviously every installer would be different. However, some tasks would be
common such as checking files, registry keys and shortucts were created or
deleted. I was hoping there was a toolkit to automate the creation of the shell
testing code. Perhaps something which takes file lists, registry keys, etc then
builds the code to run the installer and check the results.
Coding this manually isn't hard. Just tedious. If I can't find a tool perhaps
I'll build one.
Thanks,
Andrew Faust

The link points to ICE testing. I assume the author is looking for some
testing method that includes the actual installation/repair/remove actions.
I currently use a couple of VMs to test created MSI. To check if the
components get installed correctly I normally have a test program. E.g. if
you want to test that a custom action works, I have an additional program
that tests if the output the custom action creates works.
Still a lot of manual steps though...
