"I have been packaging for 6-7 years and have not found a better source of detailed information available for packaging administrators. This course not only covers the topics in great detail but gives you real world examples and scripts that you can take back to your company and start using immediately. I would highly recommend this class to any packager."

"This course is a must for all system administrators who package with Windows Installer. I have taken other courses and they do not even compare. Windows Installer for Administrators has given me a better understanding of packaging, but more importantly how I can take the lessons learned from the class and apply them at work. The course is full of many examples and problem solving techniques. This class is worth the time and money even for advanced administrators."
Mark Bauman

"I wish this course had been available several years ago when I first needed this training. For anybody interested in professional training from an expert this is it. Darwin really knows his stuff, and the existing and ongoing resources available to students represent outstanding value added. A must for any serious Windows Installation Administration staff. As an aside, it is well worth taking the extra 2 days advanced course on top."

"If you think you know everything about packaging, take this course. Darwin breaks down each step in the packaging process and explains how it works. He also gives you a behind the scenes understanding of Windows Installer internals. I recommend this course for anyone - from the beginner to expert package builder."

"This course should be a Microsoft prerequisite for all application installers. Presentation, workflow, and hands on labs are first rate. Exceptional skill development environment for both beginning and advanced Windows Installer users."

"This course is perfect for systems administrators who need to get up to speed on MSI technology. The course presents the theory behind MSI, but goes beyond that. Darwin's real-world experience adds a dimension to the class that is lacking in many training offerings."
