Merge modules provide a standard method by which developers deliver shared Windows Installer components and setup logic to their applications.
Merge modules are used to deliver shared code, files, resources, registry entries, and setup logic to applications as a single compound file. Developers authoring new merge modules or using existing merge modules should follow the standard outlined in this section.
A merge module is similar in structure to a simplified Windows Installer. Setting user rights on files, folders and registry keys using the LockPermissions table requires the localized name of a user.
Starting with MSI 2. Here is a merge module with a custom action that retrieves a multitude of "well-known SIDs" and stores their localized user names in properties e. Windows Installer's "resilience" features and "run from source" require pointers to the location of the original MSI installation file.
These pointers are in the local MSI database which is actually part of the registry. Sometimes you want to modify these pointers or add alternate source locations. This article and it's accompanied scripts show how to list the source pointers of all registered packages, and how to modify them. Microsoft Excel must be installed on the system for the script to work. The code can be incorporated in an automatic build process and hence allow a "component history" to be saved for your setup.
This HTML page and its embedded VB script code creates a manifest of all features and files that are in the specified project, with the source and destination of the files.
This script uses the automation interface in IPWI. In your Internet Explorer security settings, "unsafe ActiveX controls" must be enabled. The file is optimized for IPWI 2. Code sections for ISWI 1. Dickau File size: 1. This VB program is an adaptation of Robert Dickau's manifest creation utility. It writes out the information to a semicolon delimited text file, with source path enclosed in quotes.
It also includes the listing of which sub-feature a specific component is included in. The listings are grouped by top-level feature. Includes a basic UI for browsing to the ism file. The tool was created with VB 6.
In addition to IP and other compression formats, it can also extract embedded files from an. Note however that 7-Zip cannot insert files in such a package, it can only extract. Thanks to Denis St-Pierre for this tip. Program and source code on Google Code.
Scott Willeke's Blog posts tagged with " lessmsi". MSIDIFF can dump complete or compare two Windows Installer databases as well as patches and transforms, it installs shell extensions right click on file to simplify this but it can also be used from the command line.
The output can also be fed back into the MAKEMSI tool which was also written by Dennis Bareis, allowing you to automate and changes you may have made using a table editing tool such as Orca. This script was made for people who test the installs and want to know what was exactly in the install without having to install the setup.
So, this script will do a prompt to ask where the install is, do an administrative install, gather all the information off all the files in that directory where you did the admin install and put it into a nice xls worksheet for you. This list can, for instance, be imported into Excel. Ashelman File size: 1. PackageCleaner provides a solution to determine which elements belong in your package and which do not, what may cause problems and what may safely be left in.
Including files in your package that do not belong, results in a "dirty package" which may become the source for a number of deployment and operational problems. In addition, PackageCleaner also scans for hundreds of known Spyware files. Visit site. This tool analyzes a MSI file, counting and weighting table entries. The result is a numerical value that you can use to compare the complexity of msi packages. For instance, the complexity value for Orca.
It was tested with IPWI 2. It will delete the embossed word InstallShield and extend the line above the buttons to the left edge. You have to re-run this tool after you rebuilt the MSI file. Note: InstallShield recommends that you do not remove the branding, as documented in knowledge base article Q This comes in handy for documentation, to compare several versions of a setup package, for version control systems etc.
Binary streams are either embedded an MIME coded text, or linked as external files. Orca comes with the Platform SDK, but must be installed separately. After you installed the SDK, you'll find a file Orca. This executable lists the contents of a patch.
It needs a copy of Schema. Note that this tool can't display any transform information that's not in Schema. Dickau File size: 8. This executable lists the contents of a transform that's dropped on it.
Dickau File size: 4. This is the "official" method suggested by Microsoft: To enable the debugging of a custom action, set the environment variable MsiBreak to the name of the designated action, which is case-sensitive, the same as it appears in the CustomAction and sequence tables.
Debugging custom actions that are executing in the service requires the debugger to be attached to the service process MsiExec. On pre A reboot may be necessary to make sure all programs use the changed system environment. You can insert a DebugBreak call at the beginning of your custom action code to invoke the debugger. For detailed instructions see InstallShield's knowledge base article Q I find that the simplest approach is to show a message box from within the function you want to debug, and then just attach the debugger to the message box that pops up.
Essentially just attaching to msiexec. To further speed things up I usually define a dialog show macro that is only enabled in debug builds and also sometimes set a debug level in the registry to determine how many dialogs to show. This article describes an undocumented and unsupported feature of InstallShield Professional - Windows Installer Edition 2. This method has several advantages over the above mentioned ways: You can debug multiple custom actions in one session.
MsiBreak can only be set for one CA - if you want to debug another, you have to reset the environment variable. With MsiBreak you have to launch Visual Studio manually and then attach to the msiexec process. IPWI automatically takes care of this. Please read the following document for details about using the IPWI method. Note that this method is not available in ISWI version 1.
This presentation from the 16th International Unicode conference held March , explains how to create and manage setups for applications that are available in several languages, or support multiple langanguages. It explains how to use the localization and language filtering features in InstallShield for Windows Installer.
