Smoke - Windows Installer Validation Tool (Download)

The Windows Installer validation tool I’ve been babbling about for a few days now is available for download on DeployNow!  Stop by and check it out:

I’ve even enhanced it a bit more to allow for either delimited text output, or xml.

Included in the zip file is a sample batch file that shows how conditional logic can be applied based on smoke’s return value to take alternative courses of action if problems creep into your msi files.

Enjoy – and make sure you link to it, blog about it, and give me some feedback on it!
