I am working on an installation sequencer. The heart of the sequencer is a Windows system service that launches the install processes (typically msiexec) as they come in.
The sequencer service is grabbing the environment block of the logged on user (this has been verified) and passing this block to CreateProcess(). In addition, any variable expansion on the command is expanded based on the currently logged on user. I see an issue where installation packages that target the user profile paths (AppData, etc.) ends up in the systemprofile instead. If the installation package is "run by hand" outside of the service, the files, etc. end up where they are supposed to which is in the currently logged on user's profile paths. How does Windows Installer determine the user profile / environment block when msiexec is executed? It apparently is not inheriting the environment from my sequencer service process, otherwise the profile data would end up in the right spot. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
