As part of my job, I create MSI installation packages. With the new security model provided by Vista, MSI custom actions will increasingly need to be written in DLL form, rather than in vbscript or jscript, and so I want to learn C++

I have found various code examples of such DLLs on the net, but my problem is that they are frequently for older versions of Visual Studio (pre .net), and even if I can get that installed and running on a test machine, getting the code to compile is not working because of my total lack of experience using Visual Studio.

So what I am looking for is a book that will explain about how to program in C++ using Visual Studio (I have VS2005 and also earlier versions), and work up to DLL writing.
If such a book exists, please share the title with me!!

Thanks in advance
