Without seeing the code, I’d have to
guess. But I think that private properties can’t be set or changed, only
public. Public properties are always in all caps. Maybe the ProgramFilesFolder
is taking precedent because it’s initially defined in TARGETDIR? As a
test, compile and try the installer using a different variable (other than
TARGETDIR) with a fixed local path that doesn’t use a system folder. Or
change TARGETDIR to not include ProgramFilesFolder in it’s path. Then try
to pass in “c:\temp” and see what happens. -Matt From: Jeff MacDuff
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok so that worked, if I do that syntax
with the “” I see in the log file where the targetdir get’s
set… however it still installs to the program files directory. I then tried setting the ProgramFilesFolder
to c:\temp.. again the logfile shows it being set but it still resolves the
real one. Is there a trick to making this work? From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Janulewicz Try this: TARGETDIR=”c:\temp” I can’t find any documentation to
corroborate it, but all the auto-deployment scripts I have set public
properties with quotes, even when there are no spaces or odd characters in it.
I must have done that for some reason when I wrote them months and months ago,
no? -Matt From: Jeff MacDuff
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I am trying to the TARGETDIR through the cmd line when
running my MSI but it get’s completely ignored…. Some customers
might need to overwrite the default value so they have requested this msiexec
function to work. The syntax I am using is msiexec /I foo.msi
TARGETDIR=c:\temp Is there any trick to getting this to work? Thanks for the help, Jeff |
