Hi all.

Is there a way to compile a vs.net 2003 setup project at execution time?
Like using a script?

I'd like to create a MSI installer based on some server's information at
execution time (like IP and some other configuration).

Any other idea?

Thanks,
Eduardo Klein

Hi Eduardo

Based on my understanding, you want to modify the configurations of a msi
package at run-time(while it is being executed), please let me know if I
have misunderstood anything.

AFAIK, most properties of a MSI package cannot not be modified at run-time,
the package just likes an ordinary EXE while running. But you can modify
the package via the VBScript before run-time, just as you use the MSI
utility ORCA.EXE to edit that package:

The sample VBScript files will show you how the Windows Installer
automation interface is used to modify Windows Installer packages, please
refer to the following MSDN SDK documentation link:

indows_installer_scripting_examples.asp

Thanks!

Best regards,
