| 26 | <li><p><a href="ms-its:MMLRef.chm::/Microsoft.WindowsInstaller.InstallPackage.html" | ||
| 27 | ><strong>InstallPackage</strong></a> - extends the Database class to provide powerful | ||
| 28 | package-based operations such as:</p> | ||
| 29 | <ul> | ||
| 30 | <li>direct extraction of files to uncompressed source | ||
| 31 | path | ||
| 32 | <li>updating files from uncompressed source path back | ||
| 33 | into the compressed source for the package (including updating file | ||
| 34 | metadata) | ||
| 35 | <li>applying a patch directly to the package | ||
| 36 | <li>consolidating a package with uncompressed source files or multiple msm-cabs | ||
| 37 | into a package with a single compressed cabinet</li> | ||
| 38 | </ul> | ||
| 39 | <P></P> | ||

| 41 | ><strong>InstallPathMap</strong>, <a href="ms-its:MMLRef.chm::/Microsoft.WindowsInstaller.InstallPath.html" | ||
| 42 | ><strong>InstallPath</strong></a> - represent the directory structure | ||
| 43 | of an installation package, including file, component, and directory source and target | ||
| 44 | install paths. Accessible by file, component, or directory keys; searchable by | ||
| 45 | filename.</p> | ||
| 46 | <li><p><a href="ms-its:MMLRef.chm::/Microsoft.WindowsInstaller.PatchPackage.html" | ||
| 47 | ><strong>PatchPackage</strong></a> - allows convenient access to patch properties, | ||
| 48 | and analysis and extraction of transforms</p></li> | ||
