I have to create an MSI file for deploying the AX models and online help add customer site.

but I'm getting lost.

I have looked at http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/tutorial-simple.html

it looks ok, but I have no clew how to make it work.

any suggestion is OK!

    Does deploying also include running powershell or axutil commands to load that model into the model store?  Are you going to provide means for the user to specify the necessary AOT parameters and report back success and failure information to the user?

    first aim is getting the model in the AX environment.

    also a list incase multiple AOS are running on that server.

    and on the end copies the content to the online help in case it is installed

    and incase of an R2 installation an additional model needs to be imported in AX

    we do it now with powershell

    Install-AXModel -File $MODELPATH -NoPrompt -Config $aosInstance

    but online help is the next steo
