Do MSIs contain a checksum?


I'm writing a utility to deploy some MSIs on remote machines. Do MSI files contain a built-in checksum that will be checked when they are run, or do I need to write something to check that they have been downloaded OK? The MSIs will be created with WiX if that makes any difference.


Solution

  • Digitally sign the MSI and you'll know if it's valid or not.
