Re: Updater User Account Default Changed?

Actually, our problem doesn't have anything to do with an updater scheduled task, but a scheduled task that gets created to do database backups. Either way though, we'll try using [%USERDOMAIN] and see what effect it has.

Thanks for now

Hi Cosmin

Have you heard any more about this? I think I might have the same problem...

Re: Service Name and event sequence

Hi there

I think your problem is that you're using a private property. Private properties don't get preserved from the UI sequence to the execute sequence. Try using a public property (ie. having a name consisting of capital letters). In your case, ENVIRONMENTNAME or something similar.

Re: Hide "sensitive" properties from log

Hmm. Okay, I suppose I'll have to consider checking the value of that policy during my installation.

Thanks though.

Re: Hide "sensitive" properties from log

Bummer.

Trust Microsoft to provide a solution to your problem that doesn't work. The last point in the topic "Preventing Confidential Information from Being Written into the Log File" didn't mention that Debug mode will "ignore" that flag (it only mentions that for "MsiHiddenProperties")...

Hide "sensitive" properties from log

Hi there guys

I'm using a deferred custom action that I'm passing "sensitive" parameters to. I've read in the MSDN docs that it is possible to set a "flag" called "msidbCustomActionTypeHideTarget" by adding 0x2000 or 8192 to the "Type" column of the custom action. Since you're generating type 51 ...

Re: Yet another 1627

I've managed to fix the faulty project file, which seemed to be caused by a custom dialog. Unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of the project file before I deleted the dialog, so I'm not sure why it wasn't working.

Thanks nonetheless.

User rights and MsiOpenProduct

Hi there guys (long time!)

Do you have any idea why a call to MsiOpenProduct or MsiEnumRelatedProducts would fail on a limited account? We've got a specific client site where these calls fail, and I can only assume that it is because of some policy setting. Ideas?

Thanks

I'll investigate this, but thanks enormously for the info! I google'd a bit with the error but obviously i'm not as proficient yet :).

Error installing to GAC: Error writing to file

Hi again

We've got one client machine where we've gotten this error:

The user account is in the adminitrator group. Gacutil also fails with error: "Unknown Error hr=0X80131107", also with "/f" option. I still ...

Do you think this could happen as a result of file sequencing errors? I got warnings about this when I built the patch.

Patch doesn't apply properly

Hi there guys

I've ran into an issue now where a patch we've built applies without fault, but doesn't actually make any changes except to the ARP entries.

I would've abandoned the patch and gone to look at the project file, but I've managed to install the patch correctly if I install it like this ...

We've developed a workaround for the same problem at our company. It involves having a bootstrap for the MSI which checks what the installed version of the application is, compares it to the version in the new MSI, and if only the build version has been incremented, it uninstalls the old version and ...
