[issue1824] UUIDCreate()->UuidCreate() in msilib docs.
New submission from Jim Wilson: At http://docs.python.org/lib/module-msilib.html, UUIDCreate() is misspelled. -- components: Documentation messages: 59901 nosy: Jimbo severity: minor status: open title: UUIDCreate()->UuidCreate() in msilib docs. type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1824> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1825] msilib.add_data() takes exactly three parameters
New submission from Jim Wilson: At: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-msilib.html, add_data(...) is documented to take two parameters, but invoking it with two draws a complaint that three are needed. Examination of bdist_msi.py leads me to believe the missing (middle) parameter is "table", but I can barely distinguish a database from a hole in the ground. -- components: Documentation messages: 59909 nosy: Jimbo severity: minor status: open title: msilib.add_data() takes exactly three parameters type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1825> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1854] Broken link in msilib docs
New submission from Jim Wilson: at http://docs.python.org/lib/database-objects.html, under "See Also:", the link, MSIOpenView leads nowhere. From earlier reading, I suspect it should be "MSIDatabaseOpenView" (or perhaps "MSIDatabaseOpenViewPaddedOutEvenMoreToMakeYourEyesGlazeOver"). -- components: Documentation messages: 59998 nosy: Jimbo severity: minor status: open title: Broken link in msilib docs type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1854> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1855] Codepage unset in msilib.init_database()
New submission from Jim Wilson: At http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367864(VS.85,printer).aspx, Satanic Verses sayeth: "The Codepage Summary property must be set before any string properties are set in the summary information.", but so far as I can tell, PID_CODEPAGE is never used in msilib.__init__.py, etal. Confirming evidence: msilib's GetProperty(msilib.PID_CODEPAGE) raises "Not Implemented" on Python2.5.1's own .msi file. -- components: Distutils messages: 60006 nosy: Jimbo severity: normal status: open title: Codepage unset in msilib.init_database() versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1855> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1884] msilib.SetProperty(msilib.PID_CODEPAGE, '1252') raises 0x65d = type mismatch
New submission from Jim Wilson: I believe Codepage (a summary property which must be set *before* any other string value), is a string. Documentation admits it might also be an integer, but it doesn't matter. Both foo.SetProperty(PID_CODEPAGE, '1252') and foo.SetProperty(PID_CODEPAGE, 1252) raise "unknown error 65d". I believe 0x65d (1629d) to be ERROR_DATATYPE_MISMATCH. -- components: Build messages: 61440 nosy: Jimbo severity: normal status: open title: msilib.SetProperty(msilib.PID_CODEPAGE, '1252') raises 0x65d = type mismatch versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1884> __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1855] Codepage unset in msilib.init_database()
Jim Wilson added the comment: It's been more than a year. I'll work a little longer on the SetProperty(...) example, but here's the "confirming evidence". A related problem is 1884, but I simply don't remember the context and long ago deleted the code in disgust. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13999/foo.py ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue1855> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Jim Wilson added the comment: Well, I violated the admonition of the Great Satan: "PID_CODEPAGE must be first." (or words to that effect). It turns out not to make a difference.
