I can see the need for the MSI files to automatically run the
ExecutorServiceController program before the installation is
finished.....but this causes big problems if you want to silently push out
an MSI installation to a computer. I use this method of publishing programs
to the ~12 nodes in my Alchemi grid and had to make a custom MSI file that
didn't try to run this program before the installation was finished.
I did a similar thing, only I made mine a simple transform file that could
be applied and then also silently copied the Alchemi.Executor.config.xml
file via another method.
As someone else has had to do this as well, attached is the transform file
I created, to save others the same headaches.
For those interested, this changes the MSI so that the custom action that
ran the Alchemi.ExecutorServiceController.exe is not executed.
Would it be worth adding as an optional download? Or even a library of
simple transforms created for other install options (not that I can think
of any at the moment) and put into the SDK or a seperate zip file for download?
