Edit Installshlield Setup.exe

[Manfred_S]

Hi,

i am new to Admin Studio.
I want to edit the executable of an installshield package (Sun Java Runtime Environment 'jre-1_5_0_06-windows-i586-p.exe'), to get the some parameters of the msi-file. Is this possible with adminstudio?

I'm not sure I fully understand your question.

If you are saying that there is an MSI in that jre that you want to find the commandline it was run with, try this:
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Add a string called logging, set its value to microwaveup
Add a dword called debug, set its value to 7

run the jre install on your test box and when its done, go to your %temp% folder, find the newest file called MSIxxx.log and one of the 1st lines will tell you its commandline

looeee

You also can try this in a command line:

jre-1_5_0_06-windows-i586-p.exe /v"/l*v c:\some_directory\file_name.txt"

The /v option passes additional parameters to msiexec, in this case the /l*v parameter which creates a verbose log file at the location of your choice. Open the log file and look for the Command line arguments for the jre msi.
