I've not come across anything specifically for testing installers, but I guess a combination of VMWare and Sikuli would work well. VMWare allows you to automate the installation of Windows, take snapshots and replay failures for debugging, and from watching the demos at http://groups.csail.mit.edu/uid/sikuli/ it seems Sikuli is flexible enough to automate the button clicking involved in installing an application through MSI. -- Bruce Cran ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
