Add-in for Microsoft Installer Files

The add-in for Microsoft Installer files is an internal add-in available starting with the Professional Edition of Passolo.

If the add-in is activated as described, Passolo can automatically read and write Microsoft Installer (*.MSI) files. Settings for this add-in are not necessary.

In connection with Microsoft Installer files it is important to note that the strings are extracted from all the tables in the MSI file, but only a small selection of these tables and entries actually has to be translated. Prior to translation, you should "prepare" the project source string list by setting the entries that are not to be translated to hidden or read-only.
