Hi,
Last week I posted a query about our COM+ application getting reference
counts on running a repair install. I realise COM+ is one of the darker
corners of installer technology but I'm still scratching my head on this
one.
The reference counts in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\SharedDLLs is
MSXML.

The max value of the MSI ProductVersion would be 255.255.65535. In hex
255 would be FF, and 65535 would be . The Version field is probably
just hex conversions of the three relevant ProductVersion fields
appended together.

It appears the Merge Module is adding a CustomAction to your install and
doesn't like it when you choose to not install the file. You probably need to
follow up with the vendor.

Greetings to all,
I've been working with Message Queues lately, and have managed to find some
helpful examples online. As up front as the msmq:MessageQueue element looks, I
haven't found or coded an example that works for me. I am currently using
Windows Server 2003 and was wondering if anyone
What I did when debugging some of my DTF code was put a call to

I was wondering if there was a possibility to relax the standard
directories rule. The example I was think of was installing files in to
a web folder e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot. It would be really useful to auto
generate files for these folders and use the Guid=* syntax.

Thanks Rob, that would do it. If anyone else is interested you can do
something like this:

File Source=Default.html
And be aware, we are still investigating to see if the implementation has any
bad side effects (like your Component GUIDs randomly changing)...

Hi,
In my setup program, I am creating a registry key. But, I need that

A minor upgrade package name must not change, If the original MSI file was
sample.msi, the minor upgrade must have the same name.
