Hi,
Microsoft requires MSI installers with certain properties for some logo
certifications, so I thought it would be best to use the MS tool for
creating those: WiX. I'm stuck with two silly things though;
1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{MYGUID}\InstallLocation
- this field should be filled with the installation path, something that
other installers do automatically. My WiX-based installer (really quite
basic yet) does write an empty field there, and regardless of how much I
searched the help file, the mailing list archives & the web in total, I
couldn't find any useful information about this. Most tutorial praise
WiX to be so easy and having all the handling on the installer engine
side, so I doubt I need to write this directly to the registry myself?
2. FASTOEM=1. Whenever I pass this along to the installation through
msiexec (msiexec /i installation.msi /qn FASTOEM=1), I get a "Info 1639.
Invalid command line argument. Consult the Windows Installer SDK for
detailed command line help.". Again, no useful information to be found
anywhere. If I just add a property <Property Id='FASTOEM' Value='0'/>, I
can't install due to a "invalid command line argument", even when no
parameters at all are given. So how exactly do I support this FASTOEM=1?
Thanks a lot for any answer,
CCRDude
