Silent Installation - Basic MSI project
Hello Everyone...I am trying to make a silent installation for Basic MSI project . I found out that Silent installation executes custom action present in "Execute sequence" . So I included custom actions related to proj in "Execute sequence" in correct order of execution . To run silent install I ran these commands
setup.exe /s /v"/qn" also tried msiexec /i Product.msi /qn
installation doesnot take place at all....
If anyone knows how to run silent installation for Basic MSI project . Plz let me know.

Add a component. A valid MSI package contains at least one Feature and one Component.

ok thanks. One more question on XML . I have a script called ReadXML . The code in this script is
Dim objXML,filePath
set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
objXML.async = "false"
filePath = session.property("SOURCEDIR")
file1 = Replace(filePath & "\Appconfig.xml","\\","\")
objXML.load(file1)
objXML.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"
strXPath = "/defaultConfig/customer/company"
set valxml = objXML.documentElement.selectSingleNode(strXPath)
session.Property("COMPANYNAME") = valxml.text
When this script is executed in silent mode I get the following error :
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Custom action CompDefault script error -2146827864, Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object required: 'documentElement' Line 11, Column 1,
Note : This error taken from log file created .
However for "normal" install this code works correctly without any error(i.e it reads the xml file correctly)
What to do to ovecome this error????
Note : I cannot use System Search option for xml file because I am including this xml along with the distribution . Path for XML is found using SOURCEDIR property.
