Repair chained msi

[rcatwork]

When we do a repair on the main msi, the chained msi is not repaired as part of the process.

Here's what's in the log file:

InstallShield 16:50:29: Skipping chained package Pkg1 installation because it is already installed


Is there anyway to repair the chained msi?

Thanks.

You can override this default behavior by adding ecoReinstallInstalled (16) to the Options column - see http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=183641 or David Cole's whitepaper on Using Chained .MSI Packages. Note that you will then probably want to condition things more carefully than the default conditions cover.

I tried adding ecoReinstallInstalled, but it still didn't work. Although I got different output in the msi log file:

This is my install conditions:

Not Installed OR REINSTALL


I've also tried setting the install condition to:

Not Installed OR REINSTALL><"AlwaysInstalled"

(where AlwaysInstalled is a feature in my main product install, as suggested here: http://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/robo/projects/installshield15helplib/ChainedMSIPackages.htm)

Still could not get repair working.

Thanks.

It doesn't look like you're passing the REINSTALL property to this reinstallation. You'll need to do that, or use some old school workarounds in the target MSI so it handles this case automatically.

I see these lines in the log:

MSI (s) (70:A8) [17:14:34:178]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REINSTALLMODE property. Its value is 'omus'.

MSI (s) (70:A8) [17:14:34:396]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REINSTALL property. Its value is 'AlwaysInstalled'.

...


Or do you mean I'm not passing the REINSTALL property to the chained (child) msi? How can you pass the property to the chained msi?

And if we are to modify the chained (child) msi, what are the changes we need to make?

Thanks.

[MichaelU]

Right, I'm talking about the chained package, as shown in [CODE]MSI (s) (1C!90) [13:42:08:931]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding IS_CHAINER_POST_COMMANDLINE property. Its value is '/l"C:\Users\qw2\AppData\Local\Temp\MSId0dc5.LOG" /qb /iChainedSetup.msi;"TRANSFORMS=\"chainedsetup.mst\" DP_DEPENDENCY=\"0\" ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1"'.[/CODE]Namely the properties being passed to its equivalent of an msiexec /i call are TRANSFORMS, DP_DEPENDENCY, and ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT. If you want to reinstall it, you'll need to pass REINSTALL= to it.

So can I change the "Install properties" line from

TRANSFORMS="biosdomainsetup.mst" DP_DEPENDENCY="0" ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1

to

REINSTALL="ALL" TRANSFORMS="biosdomainsetup.mst" DP_DEPENDENCY="0" ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1

would that work for both first time install, repair, and uninstall?

Thanks.

[MichaelU]

No, generally passing REINSTALL=ALL to an MSI will not work for first time install, or for uninstall (although thankfully here the uninstall case has a separate field). I think we should step back and examine whether repairing the chained MSI is the right thing for you to do during the repair of the outer MSI. Perhaps it depends on what failure points your packages have, and whether the customer will see it as one big unified item to repair. Of course, since you're setting ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT, it does appear unified; it's not easy for them to go trigger repair for just the chained package.

If it is definitely what you want to do, I'd suggest either creating two chained package entries for this one package, or adding a property reference to the property list (e.g. [CHAINREINSTALLALL], where CHAINREINSTALLALL is either an empty string, or REINSTALL=ALL depending on whether the chained package is already present.

[rcatwork]

I tried to use 2 chained msi for the same package as you suggested.

I created 2 chained msi: ChainedSetup and ChainedRepair, both using the same "Installation" and same "Product code"

For ChainedSetup (pkg1), I have

Install condition: Not Installed and Not REINSTALL
Install properties: TRANSFORMS="chained.mst" ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1
Removal condition: REMOVE="ALL"

For ChainedRepair (pkg2), I have:

Install conditiion: REINSTALL
Install proerpties: REINSTALL=ALL TRANSFORMS="chained.mst" ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1
Removal condition: 0

When I tried to do the repair, I got errors, and here are the relevant lines in the log:

Thank you for your help.

[MichaelU]

The 2203 near the end (Note: 1: 2203 2: C:\windows\system32\product\Setup.msi 3: -2147287037) indicates the msi file cannot be found. Is it available?

[rcatwork]

MichaelU, thank you for your help. Indeed the chained msi was missing from the target machine.

I copied the msi and mst files to the target machine and the repair was able to continue.

But this dialog appeared during repair:



My chained installation package is a msi/mst, but the dialog asked for an .exe. So I clicked "Cancel". The repair continued and everything's fine. I want to know how I can disable this dialog.

There are the entries in the ISChainPackage:

[CODE]

Pkg1 [SourceDir]Setup.msi {3513DD3C-7680-4C7C-BF18-BA375D5F4132} 1 1 Not Installed AND Not REINSTALL REMOVE="ALL" AND NOT (UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) TRANSFORMS="setup.mst" ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1
Pkg2 [INSTALLDIR]Setup.msi {3513DD3C-7680-4C7C-BF18-BA375D5F4132} 1 17 REINSTALL 0 REINSTALL=ALL TRANSFORMS="setup.mst" ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1

[/CODE]


Here's from the msi log when the dialog was displayed:

Thank you.

Hmm, does this package have feature prerequisites? I think that's the dialog you're seeing. (It might be clearly mentioned in a verbose MSI log, if you set the logging policy so you get one.)

Hello,

I have following some of the advice in here to get my Chained parent install package to perform the repair mode, or at least trigger the repair mode of the sub-chained install packages, but I have a question about this.

Now my install I show the parent and children entries in the Add/Remove control panel, but I can not perform a repair on the individual install packages. I can only perform the repair from the parent. When I try from the children it prompts for the location of the product .msi file.

I stream in the children .msi files and it was originally set to Delete the streamed in products, so I changed this figuring it was the issue. But testing with it Not deleting the streamed in products did not work as well.

So how can I have it so that the children can perform their own repair?
