Hi,
I want to make use of the Administrative Install feature (/a switch) of the
Windows Installer, and allow Administrators to determine install options for
users, for which I am developing a set of dialogs for the Admin, including the
CustomizeDlg dialog.
The Admin will invoke an Administrative Install, and then go through the
dialogs to select network-wide install options. On the CustomizeDlg.wxs screen,
we have a slight ambiguity with regard to specifying the install Location. The
Admin tells the installer where to put all the files at the command line, by
passing in the TARGETDIR argument; this location is the central network share.
But on the CustomizeDlg screen, I want the 'Location' field to mean: 'Where are
the files to be installed on the user machine when he/she does an install?'
By default, the TARGETDIR value passed in the command line is reflected in the
CustomizeDlg Location field, which is not what I want. Delving into the xml for
CustomizeDlg.wxs reveals the use of loc strings, but all is not clear.
In the localization file WixUI_en-us.wxl, how does one interpret this line:
<String Id="CustomizeDlgLocation"
Overridable="yes">CustomizeDlgLocation-CustomizeDlgLocation</String>
I mean, what is the significance of the double reference to
CustomizeDlgLocation, separated by a hyphen?
How does CustomizeDlgLocation resolve to TARGETDIR? How can I make
CustomizeDlgLocation point to a different property?
Your precious time, attention and responses are, as always, very greatly
appreciated.
