MST file to automate MSI file editing
Default Setup project in visual studio does not give all the options we need. As a result, many people employ third party setup projects. Another option is using ORCA tool from Microsoft to edit the MSI file for your requirement. In the later approach, you first need to build the MSI file (Windows Installer package) using visual studio, then open the MSI file in ORCA and make the necessary changes. Basically MSI file contains a database (a number of tables) that you can edit using ORCA; Editing operations include adding new rows and editing existing rows to different tables.
