Product Code problem!
Hi All,
I am using the following code in my script but it always returns null.
nBuffer=64; //number datatype
svPropvalue=""; //string datatype
MsiGetProductInfo("{3B32FB6E-6FF1-4A1F-A3E2-66B2C2AF16E6}", INSTALLPROPERTY_LANGUAGE, svPropvalue, nBuffer);
MessageBox(svPropvalue,WARNING);
here the messagebox is displaying only empty , i don't know why it returns empty always !!!any idea!!!
I think this problem is due to product code i have entered. The Product code i have entered is from selecting
Installation Designer -> General Information ->Productproperties->Product Code.
Can anyone help me!

Hello jayakumarn,
The MsiGetProductInfo works for only installed product.
Please verify the product code you specifies is the product which is installed already.
Thanks

Not 100% sure on this one, but you could try removing the dashes (-)
So {3B32FB6E-6FF1-4A1F-A3E2-66B2C2AF16E6}
Becomes {3B32FB6E6FF14A1FA3E266B2C2AF16E6}!!
