.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Setup / June 2005Change settings of installer using VB.NET
Hi all, Using VS 2003 VB.NET How do I in vb.net change a value of MSI file. The exact one I would like to change the in the property table. The property "FolderForm_AllUsers" change to "ALL" Not sure how to write the code in VB.NET to do this? If I'm suppose to use the MsiSetProperty function. well I have searched everywhere for example but nothing. please help. This should be a easy property to change within VS, but I don't see it? thanks GV The place to start is probably with the vbscript example in the Windows Installer SDK, WiRunSql.vbs. That tells you the sequence of events, opening the MSI file, getting a View etc. The key is the SQL to update the table: "UPDATE Property SET Property.Value = 'ALL' WHERE Property.Property='FolderForm_AllUsers'" In .NET it's awkward because you need to to P/Invoke into the Win32 APIs, MsiOpenDatabase, MsiDatabaseOpenView, MsiViewExecute etc.  SignaturePhil Wilson [Microsoft MVP-Windows Installer] Definitive Guide to Windows Installer http://apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=280 > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > thanks > GV p.s. VS 2005 has a project property to control whether the install is per-user or per-system.
