Can't set agent to use local notification server...?

[CChong]

I'm trying to point the agent at our local notification server, so I set the property DWUSHOST when I register the product code.

Ex :

// Create agent
THR(spAgent.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_Agent))

// Register product code/version
THR(spAgent->Register(bstrGuid, bstrVer))

// Disable scheduler
CComBSTR bstrName = _T("UseScheduler");
CComVariant vtVal = L"0";
THR(spAgent->put_value(bstrGuid, bstrName, vtVal))

// Set local notification server
bstrName = _T("DWUSHOST");
vtVal = _T("http://10.99.1.56");
THR(spAgent->put_value(bstrGuid, bstrName, vtVal))


Does this seem correct? If so, it doesn't seem to be working... the agent is still going out to the installshield notification server.

Thanks!

The keyword in the product ini file (which I think is what you are trying to set) is actually "Server". Also, if you are entering it directly into the product ini, you need to add a trailing forward slash to the pathurl.

So, the following would be valid:
// Set local notification server
bstrName = _T("Server");
vtVal = _T("http://10.99.1.56/");
THR(spAgent->put_value(bstrGuid, bstrName, vtVal))

However, we provide a method to do this directly:
SetHost

Ohhh yeah, sorry. When I searched the help files for setting the local notification server I saw that other property and just assumed that was what needed to be set. I'll just use SetHost(), thanks.
