Prerequisite PRQ automatic generation
Hi,
I need to automatically generate a .prq file from a script. For this I need to know how to generate the properties ID and I need the algorithm used by installshield to generate the checksum of the linked .msi file.
I did some comparison and the checksum doesn't seem to be MD4 or MD5
anyone?
thank you

It should be an MD5 checksum, represented as a hexadecimal string.

Oh great, I had a mismatch because the .msi as changed in between but now I see it's the good MD5 number in the prq file.
But now how can I generate the properties ID? It's a GUID in the .prq file...

That should just be a new unique GUID to uniquely identify the file; it has no derived meaning.
