The second questions asks if you can set registry values/write file changes/whatever else that running the preagent.exe would have done for you to avoid using it.
Is preagent.exe needed by your installation after it is complete or only when installing, repairing, upgrading, and possibly removing the product? -----Original Message----- From: Shlomi Tsadok [mailto:shl...@tsadok.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2010 10:44 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Passing installation parameter to exe 1. Preagent.exe is an instalation file of Novell ZenWorks agent. 2. I need to call it with parameters as the installing user(the system account in this case). 3. It will run unatennded, enforced by a machine GPO. 4. It should have those parameters every time it runs. "Can you do the same thing to the OS that it does with those parameters without running it?" Sorry, I didn't understand this quastion..
