问题 I created an MSI with WIX that needs elevated permissions to work correctly. In the MSI Project, I specified this via <Package [...] InstallPrivileges="elevated" /> Now I included this MSI in a custom bootsrapper project, based on WixWPF Bootstrapper. As I understand it, the bootstrapper itself should not alter the machine state and thus should not require elevated privileges. I would now expect the Bootstrapper to automatically launch the integrated MSI with elevated priviliges, prompting

问题 When I'm uninstalling a program from control panel how does it know what components and features are installed on the machine? If I have the .msi file I can use ORCA to take a look inside windows installer database and see all the actions and components in the package.

问题 What I really want to do is determine whether a particular file in the MSI exists and contains a particular string. My current idea is to run: db = msilib.OpenDatabase('c:\Temp\myfile.msi',1) query = "select * from File" view = db.OpenView(query) view.Execute(None) cur_record = view.Fetch() # do this until I get the record I want print cur_record.GetString(3) # do stuff with this value And then if it's there, extract all the files using msiexec /a c:\Temp\myfile.msi /qn TARGETDIR=c:\foo and

问题 Normally, you can change the default root drive to install your application to using: <Property Id="ROOTDRIVE">D:\</Property> But now, I wish to change it using a CustomAction that gets called on a next button click in my install wizard: [CustomAction] public static ActionResult SetFullInstallRootDrive(Session session) { session["ROOTDRIVE"] = session["DRIVE_NAMES"].ToString(); } DRIVE_NAMES represents the drive selected, using a combo box, and ROOTDRIVE gets properly set to either whatever

Would be really appreciated if anybody can help me on this.
