No, nobdoy is working on that AFAIK. VC7 can convert VC6 workspace and project files into its own format, but there is no way back. You cannot use VC7 files (they are called solution instead of workspace) in VC6 anymore. MvL suggested to convert the files once and then deprecate using the VC6 workspace. > Are the tools needed to build an MSI installer included in VC7.1? If > not, are they a free download? Yes, there are tools included. A college of mine tried to use them, and we quickly switched to Wise for Windows Installer (this is not the same as the Wise version used in Python 2.3) which does also create msi files. But this also has its own range of problems. MvL again has the idea to create the msi (which is basically a database) programmatically with Python - either via COM, a custom Python extension or maybe ctypes. Thomas
