Windows Installer Internal Consistency Evaluators

AdminStudio 2021 R2 | 22.0 | Application Manager

Edition:The Windows Installer Internal Consistency Evaluators are included in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

The internal consistency evaluators (ICEs) are tests that you can run to check whether Windows Installer packages are valid databases that perform as expected. These tests validate the data in each table of a package, as well as the data among tables.

Examples of ICEs are:

ICE08: Each component has a unique component code.
ICE09: Any component that is being installed to the Windows System folder is marked as permanent.
ICE12, ICE75, and others: custom actions are scheduled at valid times in the installation sequences.

Analyze includes more than 100 ICE tests. ICE tests are stored in .cub files, which are Windows Installer-format databases that perform custom actions that validate data in Windows Installer databases.
