The Windows 7 beta SDK showed up on MSDN late Friday and is now available from the Microsoft download center for those without an MSDN subscription. Included in the new SDK is a new version of Orca and details about the new features in MSI 5.0.
At the moment, the documentation doesn’t appear to be available in the online MSDN Library.
Will 5.0 fix multi-package transaction processing? Because last time I checked rolling back a transaction after a package has been successfully installed fails (Confirmed by Microsoft).
Looks like at least part of the documentation is up on MSDN Online. I’m still trying to find specific information on exposing customized preview frames and special menus for task bar buttons. I think I found the latter, but the API docs are clear about what the interface does, it was introduced in Vista, and is in shdeprecated.h: none of which gives me any confidence.
