Hi, I've seen your two email but the answers to this email is what I'm interested in (and the 3010 question). You have clarified some of it in that you say...
Hi, In "working" log: MSI (s) (90:54) [16:28:34:624]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding RCPTTO property. Its value is 'rrrr'. IN "FAILING" LOG: MSI (s) (90:28)...
Dennis, I've been looking to persist custom properties across installs. I have my property set to Persist, and everything looks fine - the values are stored...
Hi, ... have my property set to Persist, and everything looks fine – the values are stored and reappear on a custom dialog box if I run the install again and...
Dennis, I don't think I described the issue correctly. What I'm talking about is not that the repair is broken. Rather, what I saying is that during a modify,...
Dennis, Ok, so that was a lot easier than I thought. The .MM is attached (I modified the TryME example). To see what I'm talking about: 1) Run the installer....
Dennis, Can you please add an option to the MSI Build process to make the pauses at the end optional? I'd like to put this into an automatic process and while...
Hi, ... Glad to hear that :-) Given MAKEMSI scripting it is not normally difficult and is for me at least THE way to solve problems, you get it to bare bones....
Hi, ... pauses at the end optional? I’d like to put this into an automatic process and while I can remove the pause manually, I’ll have to do that each...
Yes, that helps - actually it pratically does all the work for me. I didn't see that in the table of contents and have been using what I gleaned from the...
Thanks for the breakdown. I learned quite a bit just reading along with your description. I'll look deeper into the component and feature attributes and the...
Dennis, I'm having a problem with the speed of the MSI creation. There are some files that take over 2 hours to compress (dxf files) and I'd obviously like to...
Hi, ... Don't know, we taling a large number of files or big files that take a while? The logs should provide some info and you can adjust how verbose...
Hi, ... obviously ... Just watching the compile progress, I can tell this about large files. The number of files seems to be irrelevant in that larger...
Hi, ... then why not use the tool as it was intended to be used? Not sure what you mean by "as it was intended to be used" as I am using it as it may have been...
... Meaning that if MakeMSI supported custom CAB files and I was missing the commands/options then I should be using those, and not the ability MakeMSI...
Hi, ... the problem files hardly ever change. Lets see how you go varying options first. I realized you can't vary the options for each "compile" so I have...
I need to make 175 MSI, all different. I have the all of the files needed in separate folders, any way to run a batch process. Takes forever to right click...
Hi, ... Thats a lot of MSIs! Anyway to answer your question, yes, see documentation at: http://makemsi-manual.dennisbareis.com/unattended_msi_builds.htm ...
Hi, ... Sounds like a Windows Installer bug to me. You say on Vista, have you tried other OS and it works? Use of the "compile" command (to generated multiple...
Dennis, Thank you for the response. For the time being, we have worked around the problem by installing fewer files (down to ~2000 from ~3500). Cheers, Warren...
Dennis, I'm sure this is possible, but I can't figure it out. Background: I've downloaded your latest update and was able to get the compile time down to 30...
Hi, ... While no doubt large files will compile slower than smaller ones your biggest influence is more likely to be their file extension (type), for example...
... Usually true, but not in this case. The file sizes range from 250KB to 8MB for the dxf extension. ... That was it, thanks. Note : I was unable to find...
Hi, ... compile time ... I have enabled compile caching but have only tested that it gets cached and used as expected, not that this doesn't cause any...
Hi: I have a package that I have a fairly anarchic installation method for; primarily batchfile driven, assumes all sorts of things, asks no questions of the...
Hi, Sorry for the delay, your email got caught by the spam filter which then ended up with me sending the response to myself, and I only now realised :-) ... ...
