... however, I failed when trying to implement it.
So far I have:
- put msi, cabs, said 'setup.exe' modified by msistuff,
and instmsi{A,W}.exe on a web site.
- start the setup.exe from there.
A dialog pops up telling me that the issuer could not be
verified (so I propbably missed to put that in somewhere,...)
I click 'execute' nevertheless.
A window named 'Windows Installer Installation Wrapper' shows
up for a very short time and that's it.
I am pretty sure the web server as such works.
I've tried to follow
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/a_url_based_windows_installer_installation_example.asp
but that seems to require Windows Installer 2.0, so far I assumed 3.0.
So maybe it's not the appropriate receipt to follow.
Moreover, I did not find setup.exe on my system, but
sources in C:\Programme\Microsoft Platform SDK\Samples\SysMgmt\Msi\setup.exe
which I compiled.
instmsi{A,W}.exe I got from
C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio\COMMON\Tools\VSInst\BuildRes
Has anybody succeeded in creating a web based installation using
WinXP SP2 targetting Win2k+, using Windows Installer 3.0?
If not, should I try Windows Installer 2.0?
Any hint is appreciated.
