Does CreateInstall create *.msi files?

I see it makes *.ci files. What are these? Will they run on someone else's computer? Do they need to have CreateInstaller to run these files?

How can I check if the user already has the .NET Framework 4.0 Client installed?

How can I perform custom actions, like check if a file exists, then do something special?

CreateInstall looks promising, but is there any further documentation explaining it?

No, it doesn't.

This is a project file of your installation. One .ci file - one project. You can open .ci file with CreateInstall.

There is the 'Check Requirements' command.

You can insert the 'If Statement' command with checking if the file exists and insert necessary commands into this command.
