MSI chain questions

[Didi]

Hi,
I followed this article

http://www.mindquake.com.br/en/examples/msichain

I have few questions:

1. The last file (mainsetup) run twice. any reason ?
2. The msi's will run quietly [in my case I think it's running "/passive"] ?
3. The artice is true to msu files, too ?

Thanks

1. The last file (mainsetup) run twice. any reason ?

Perhaps you didn't follow the instructions, and included the mainsetup twice (i.e., added it incorrectly to the tInstallOrder array)? Hard to guess without seeing your project...

2. The msi's will run quietly [in my case I think it's running "/passive"] ?

If that isn't what you want, then you can edit the script as desired.

3. The artice is true to msu files, too ?

*.msu files are stand alone Windows Update packages, and are not processed by Windows Installer. You could modify the script and process those files, of course.

Hi Urlich,

If I remove this part from mainscript.lua, the mainsetup [last msi] doesn't runtwice.
I followed your article step by step.
I will open new ticket and sent it to you.

Thanks

local nMSIError = Application.GetLastError();
if (nMSIError ~= 0) then
g_ShowErrorMessage("MSG_ERROR", "ERR_SCRIPT_MSI_EXEC_SETUP_RUN", true, nMSIError, 57);
else
Application.WriteToLogFile("Notice MSI setup return code: "..nReturnCode.."\r\n");
end
Application.Show();
