Sorry I send this to the e-mail address alone. it was asked for the
code.
Here we go:
Well if you insist ;-)
the code for the installer library
#include <windows.h>
// #include <strsafe.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <msi.h>
#include <msiquery.h>
// #include <difxapi.h>
/* just for the DLL one might use a .def file instead */
#undef EXPORT
#define EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
static void ShowSysErrMsg(DWORD err_code) {
TCHAR buf[512];
DWORD dw_rc;
dw_rc = FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM,
NULL, err_code,
MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),
buf, sizeof(buf), NULL );
if (dw_rc == 0) {
MessageBox(NULL, TEXT("Could not get Error message from
System"),
TEXT("FormatMessage failed"), MB_OK);
} else {
MessageBox(NULL, buf, TEXT("Error Message"), MB_OK
|MB_ICONERROR);
}
}
/* Helper function for printing to the setup.log file or the file
provieded on the command line like e.g
in msiexec /i some_msi_file.msi /* log_file_name.log
*/
static UINT InfoMessage(MSIHANDLE msiHandle, LPCTSTR msg) {
MSIHANDLE hRecord = MsiCreateRecord(1);
/* this magic one means that the record will just consist of
one element in our case just some string */
if (! hRecord) {
MessageBox(NULL, L"Installer", L"Failed to create record",
MB_OK |MB_ICONSTOP);
return 0;
}
MessageBox(NULL, msg, TEXT("Installer message"), MB_OK);
// MsiRecordSetString(hRecord, 0, msg);
// MsiProcessMessage(msiHandle, INSTALLMESSAGE_INFO, hRecord);
MsiCloseHandle(hRecord);
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}
UINT EXPORT __stdcall Install(MSIHANDLE msiHandle){
InfoMessage(msiHandle, L"Just some text");
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}
the wxs file
a bit messy because of all the tries to get that installed

the marvellous README
Just a dummy file
Not of any use.
Ah yes just to mention it. I have linked the library later statically
and "of course" that has worked....
Howerver I really would like to understand this kind of "stuff".
System is Vista 32-bit (shame one me ;( )
