| How do I do this all from the command line?

I want to have my installer automatically edited after each build, but how do I do this?

If you have the developer SDK that includes the WiRunSQL.vbs function, you can add a post-build event to your installer project that looks something like this:
Cscript WiRunSQL.vbs "$(BuiltOuputPath)" "UPDATE `Control` SET `Control`.`Attributes`=2097159 WHERE `Control`.`Dialog_`='CustomTextA' AND `Control`.`Control`='Edit2'"
(note this should all be on one line)

I got a error when i added the above line in postbuildevent property in setup...
The error says
'PostBuildEvent' failed with error code '1' 'Unspecified error'
any help?

| Encrypting the input values
jagooch | 9:30 13 May '08 |

This works great! I am 50% towards protecting password data input during the installation. Now, if I am writing the input data into the registry, is there a way to tell the installer to encrypt the password before putting it there? Thanks!

You would probably want to use a custom action to do the encryption.

How to change the 'Banner Text' of 'Welcome' User Interface Dialog while creating Set & Deployment in .Net ?
I want a Dialog same as 'Welcome' User Interface Dialog but different 'Banner Text'.

Hi Aniket
Again you can use the Orca tool - When using the Orca tool (part of the Installer SDK) - If you do the work as a transform then you can progarammatically apply the transform after everytime you build the installer.

Ok, I made the changes to my .msi as a new transform, and called the transform "transform.msi" . Now what do I do to have this msi applied after each build?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
you need to use the msitran tool - part of the installer SDK

| Unique Licence number for each installation
Mukund Pujari | 0:01 23 Nov '05 |
|

Hi Javier,
Thanks for very useful article. Is there any way that we can have unique licence number for each installation of .NET Application? In .NET Set Up projects there is facility for mentioning Licence Number in "Customer Information User Interface", but it has got very limited use. It has got one fixed logic that the addition of specified licence numbers should be divisible by 7. So anyone who knows this can easily crack this. And also I don't want to use custom action since Custom Action run after the installation. And I want that installation should onl progress if licence number is valid .
Thank You
Mukund

A bit late but again you can use a custom action but this time tied to the control in the dialog - however to do this you will need to know orca and You can therefore understand how easy it is for a hacker to hack that licence number out or prevent the check.

| 'Back' button disabled on FolderForm
svetlanact | 6:48 12 May '05 |

Hi Javier,
Great article! Exactly what I was looking for.
I have a problem that is not really related to the password textbox, but more to New Dialogs in general. During installation process the 'Back' button appears to be disabled on the 'Installation Folder' if a dialog (or more than one dialog) added via VS IDE and placed before 'Installation Folder' form. I assume that it can be fixed by fixing .msi tables, but I'm not able to figure it out. I've tried to fix 'Property' table and had some success with 'Back' and 'Next' navigation, but whatever I did results in the installation error when 'Next' button of the 'Installation 'Folder' window pressed. My guess here is that some foreign key dependency is missing.
Another question I have: is there any way to programmatically fix .msi database using .NET? Is there a provider that would open .msi database to allow write queries against it?
Thanks a lot,
Svetlana

Instead of dealing with the API to edit msi directly, it's easier to dump it to xml, use a quickie custom .net program to modify the xml as desired, then convert the xml back to msi.
http://msi2xml.sourceforge.net
msi2xml
run program to modify xml as desired.
xml2msi
IMHO, easier to learn the xml schema to modify rather than the installer database APIs.
