Change public property value in execution sequence
Hi,
I am working on Basic MSI project. I have a question about changing property value in execution sequence.
Can we change value of a public property in execution sequence?
Can we access value of public properties in execution sequence?
Regards
Naresh

Hi,
I have created a property MYPROP.I want to know if i will be able to modify it from command line.I found out that only public properties can be changed from command line.How can i distinguish if the property created is public or private.

Public properties contain all uppercase letters. A private property has at least one lowercase letter. For more details, see Working with Windows Installer Properties.

thanks for the response.I have a property called "ISINTALLATIONCORPORATE" whose value i use in one of the functions in my script.Now i want to set it from command line instead of opening it in orca.I use the command
msiexec /i "abc.msi" ISINTALLATIONCORPORATE="value"
Am i doing something wrong here.
msiexec /i "abc.msi" ISINTALLATIONCORPORATE="value"
Am i doing something wrong here.

hi,
i got it working,but the new requirement is that it should not install but only modify the property.Is there a way to do this.They want to modify property by using command line and not through orca.

Command line options only work during the current install, so that won't do what it sounds like you want. Are you trying to change the msi for future installs? If so, you might want to look into transforms.

Are you using ISCmdBld.exe to build from the command line? If so, you can use the -z parameter to set the value of your property when you build the release. For more info, see ISCmdBld.exe.
