This directory contains sample MSI creation scripts which you
should be able to execute to successfully build a ".MSI" file
Right click on the ".MM" file and select a build option.

I suggest that since "TRYME.MM" is the simplest script that you
try it first. All the scripts use the same "TryMe.VER" and other
resources (as these would be near identical and are not what I
am demonstrating).

The scripts are supplied so that within minutes of installing
MAKEMSI you should have been able to create your first working
MSIs. Generally the hardest part with anything new is getting
the first "item" working.
Most scripts don't require any preparation but if any is required
they will tell you.

The scripts provide a working starting point which you can modify
to test changes while you are learning MAKEMSI. When trying
different commands you should expect error messages while learning,
I have gone to a lot of work to provide enough detail with good
messages so that you should be able to solve it. If not send me the
script and error details and I'll probably improve it.

MAKEMSI does not validate absolutely everything up front and so it
is possible that a build will fail during the execution of the
VBS it generates. If so it will identify the exact location which
should enable you to work out what faulty imput you supplied on
which command.
As I detect these I am improving up front validation to remove them
(on the theory that anything seen or reported may be a common issue
deserving more and better validation).
You are expected to test your MSI like any other piece of software,
given the same script and environment MAKEMSI will consistently
build a "correct" (or "wrong" MSI).
Think of a compiler (Garbage in means Garbage out).

Its possible you will not be able to build the samples from the
"program files" directory as not all users will have write access here.

If you can't build anything then please copy the samples to a your
"My Documents" and try again.
