      Try InstEdit for a change. (http://apps.instedit.com/)
      It shows the features and gives a better overview in general. (Just my opinion)

      To all the guys talking about customizing dialogs or creating your first MSI with it, good luck!
      Orca is great for transforms and such, but creating a full blown installation through orca is very impressive.

      If you are actualy capable to create one, I’ll be very impressed.
      Please share your msi for us to awe or shoot down. ;)

      My 2 cents

      If you’re trying to install an MSI onto an “unsupported” operating system–
      1. Use ORCA to open the MSI
      2. Find the line labeled “Launch Condition”
      3. Delete all the value or try modifying them but likely you aren’t qualified to if you need these rudimentary instructions
      4. SAVE THE NEW MSI AND PREFERABLY AS A COPY INSTEAD OF OVERWRITING THE ORIGINAL JUST IN CASE YOU BORKED UP SOMETHING ELSE OR DELETING THE LAUNCH CONDITIONS (UNLIKELY) BREAKS IT AND YOU’RE BETTER OFF TRASHING A NEW COPY INSTEAD OF BORKING YOUR ORIGINAL.
