What I would like to do is save the state of the open msi database, in its
entirety, at the end of the install process, so it reflects the custom settings
selected by the user. The reason I want to do this is so a Network
Administrator can perform a local install first and his custom settings be
recorded in a copy msi file, which would then deployed on a domain server
(using a Group Policy Object) for network users to install from, allowing the
Network Administrator to set network-wide install options.
Dumping the database would thus have to be done from a Custom Action. Can
anybody tell me if such a thing is possible, and the best way of achieving it.
It looks as though any Msi api functions that might be useful for this task
cannot be called from Custom Actions, eg. MsiDatabaseExport.
It surely must be possible, from a DLL Custom Action, to programmatically
create a new empty MSI and copy to it all the tables and their content from the
current open database.
All advice will be gratefully received. Many thanks.
