[WiX-users] transforms question

2008-04-15 Thread Amy Rosewater 
I have an install with embedded transforms that are created through the
InstanceTransforms element and child Instance elements.

 

Property Id=CURRENTINSTANCEOriginal Product/Property

InstanceTransforms Property=CURRENTINSTANCE

   Instance Id=Instance1
ProductCode=49cfbf40-04e0-11dd-95ff-0800200c9a66 ProductName=iVantage
5.0 Copy 1 /

   Instance Id=Instance2
ProductCode=5415c080-04e0-11dd-95ff-0800200c9a66 ProductName=iVantage
5.0 Copy 2 /

/InstanceTransforms

 

I am able to install a second instance of my application by typing the
following command:

 

msiexec /i myinstaller.msi TRANSFORMS=:Instance1 MSINEWINSTANCE=1

 

How do I specify at the command line when I want to show my
Modify/Repair/Remove dialog which instance I mean.  If I type the same
command as above after Instance1 is installed I get an error Invalid
command line argument.  If I leave off the MSINEWINSTANCE=1 it runs but
only for my original installation.  I just stumbled across the syntax
explaining the MSINEWINSTANCE property in the wix-users list and I was
hoping someone here might know about a property I haven't found that
does what I need?

 

Thanks!

 

Amy

You want to read the MSI SDK help topic Installing Multiple instances with 
Instance Transforms
   
  In there you'll find:
   
  
The easiest way to initiate a maintenance installation, and reinstall an 
instance, is to reference the product code of the instance. If you initiate the 
maintenance installation by using the package path, you must also specify the 
product code of the instance. From the command line, use the /n {Product Code} 
option. From code or script, use the MSIINSTANCEGUID property.
  There are also examples showing how to rdo minoir upgrades.   Also  I have a 
couple articles on my blog where  back in 2006 I describe how to write a custom 
bootstrapper to automatically handle all of this servicing and now in 2008 
where InstallShield 2009 (beta) does it all for you.
