XmlNotepad
XmlNotepad is a handy little tool that does pretty much what it says on the tin — it’s like Notepad, but aimed at correctly manipulating XML files. I’ve also found it to be a lot nicer to use a proper XML editor like XmlNotepad vs. a plain text editor when altering XML files; it makes moving, copying, and changing sections of XML not only faster, but much less error prone. So, let’s get it installed…
msiexec /qn /i XmlNotepad.msi INSTALLLOCATION="D:\Program Files\XmlNotepad" TARGETDIR="D:\Program Files\XmlNotepad"
No, you didn’t read that wrong. You have to specify both INSTALLLOCATION and TARGETDIR. It’s… shocking how bad Microsoft seems to be at using its own package installation system; out of four MSI packages so far, 3 have now had bizarre switch requirements. So much for standards.
