According to my notes (based on the docs for the Windows Installer Cleanup Tool), the MSI version is checked by looking at the version info for %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\MSI.DLL; it's "2.0" for the current version. I see that once you install something with MSI, MSI continues to run in the background, so if possible it should be the first thing done after a reboot. So, if the version is 2.0 (assuming that you have a way of checking via script), it probably got updated properly, else it definitely didn't and the system needs to be rebooted.
>From looking at the MSI docs, I get the impression that it's a good idea to upgrade MSI first, even if the apps that you're installing only need 1.x. My impression is that the repair features work better that way. --Scott. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Installing win2k fails because the perl install depends on a more resent version of the windows installer. You can install the latter windows installer but it requires a reboot. I tried it without a reboot and it appears to work so maybe ok. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
