MsiGetFeatureState

[suchin_kumar]

Hi,

When i call the MsiGetFeatureState function, I always get a value of 2 which represents INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT. I assume this is happening because it can not find the feature which i have passed in as a parameter. But i do not know where i am going wrong because i am hard coding the feature name into the function call.

ie.

MsiGetFeatureState(hMSI,"featureName",installState,actionState);

I always get a value of 2 for installState.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks,
Suchin

Try like..

You came to know that..the feature is selected or not.

szFeature = "X-Feature name";
MsiGetFeatureState(hMSI, szFeature, lResult, lAction);

if (lAction > 0 ) then
MsiSetProperty(ISMSI_HANDLE,"PINS","1");
else
MsiSetProperty(ISMSI_HANDLE,"PINS","0");
endif;

If it returns "1" means he selectd the feature to install in the target diretory.

i think Code will help.

Thanks

Hi Reddy,

Thanks for the reply. However, I need to check the value during Repair, in the maintenance mode.
