"VB/VBA Developer's Guide to the Windows Installer" by Mike Gunderloy is quite a useful book yet not enough to master creation of MSI files. I didn't see so far a single book that would be sufficient to fully cover all the quirks of the Windows Installer Service. Don't be afraid of the title of the book. The text is actually 5% about VB/VBA and 95% about the Windows Installer. The author now offers electronic version of the book for free download from his site. I would have recommended participating in the "InstallSite Forum" in addition to reading this book. Also, "Practical Windows Installer Solutions for Building InstallShield Setup Applications" by Bob Baker, is worth attention.
