How effective is MAKEMSI at repackaging applications? I understand that you do not "repackage" MSIs and that's not what I'm asking. I'm talking about...
Dennis, This is a great program you have written. I would like to know if I could us it as a program to run as a task in our Wise Package Studio processes. The...

Hi, Your issue is you are mixing build time (#define, macro replacement) items with install time code etc. The property command defines "*Value" and this is...
Hello, I' trying to change the default column lengths for file, directory, component fields and now I get MSI validation errors. Looking into Tables.mmh, it...
Hello, I have inherited an installer that is built with MakeMsi. It uses the basic framework of these files, largely unmodified: Company.mmh Dept.mmh ...
Hi, Oops your right there is an issue, I will try to fix tonight. Thanks for reporting it. ... component ... are using ... TYPE="s<$TABLES_LNG_FILE_COLUMN>"...
I'm looking for a *simple* way to insert several dialogs into the sequence in a place that doesn't seem to be supported by the standard Dialog MSI command. I...
Hi, ... It should work if you copy over the "tables.mmh" from the makemsi files area. Its possible (but unlikely) there are others I missed but the most likely...
Hi, ... Sorry but I don't think so. The way Windows Installer links the dialogs is pretty tricky and I've taken care of the simplest case where its a straight...
Hi All, This is my first try to MakeMsi. my goal is to generate a new msi with productCode & productName changed out of a old msi, and that these 2 MSIs can be...
Hi, ... side ... out ... There is another GUID (http://makemsi- manual.dennisbareis.com/guids.htm) you need to take care of ("UpgradeCode"). If you want to...
Hi all, Just a warning and for your information I will be going on holidays in 2 weeks for about a month. Over that time I may not have Internet access for...
Hi All, I have a minor improvement to the DllCa-C macro: the location of the Platform SDK seems to always be identified by the environment variable INETSDK....
Hi, Thanks for the information, I have included BOTH locations in the new code listed at: http://makemsi-manual.dennisbareis.com/platform_sdk_dir.htm Could you...
Hi Dennis, Thanks for that quick change! It works! I believe these are actually different platform SDKs, although it seems that the Server 2003 Platform SDK is...

Hi, I am new to MakeMSI, but not programming. I'm attempting what appears to be a simple task: Create an MSI that will remove an existing local profile and...
Hi, While I haven't reproduced your package to test and generate a log, it would seem that you can take the custom action you have started and make a few...
I'm looking for a way to wrap an MSI in another MSI. Is this possible? Here is the situation I am trying to solve. I have an MSI (my own, generated by...
Merl, Thanks for the tip, it pointed me in the right direction! I realized that my batch file was just one line, so I made it an argument to cmd.exe in my...
Maybe this question is not strictly on topic here (because more MSI related than MakeMsi related), but maybe somebody has a proposal anyway!? My installation...
It seems to me that you may want to solve this within your application, rather than within the installer. After all, you would still have this problem if you...
That would probably work (OK, I'd have to delay executing the config file MSI since Windows Installer can only handle one at a time, but that can be solved). ...
It would work, but it would require rebuilding the MSI for each individual customization. Since rebuilding this MSI takes about 7 minutes each time, doing just...
