Administrative Install Question
Still learning new things every day...
Hopefully someone can teach me something new here as well.
I used the MSIEXEC /a xxxx.msi INSTALLDIR=c:\temp command to extract an msi to a temporary folder.
I replaced a .INI file that has information in it that tells the application to talk to a certain server.
I am wondering what I can do to compress the "administrative install" back into 1 .MSI file.
I am using WPS 6.1 Pro, I have ORCA as well....
Thanks in advance!
Mike

Well look at that... 3rd time was a charm.
Not sure why it wasn't taking the other 2 times I tried making the MST file, but it is there now...
Thanks for persuading me to try again! :)
What is the best way to re-zip an administrative install though?
I can't think of a reason to do it now, since my MST file is working now...
but just curious on how to do it.
Thanks for the response VBScab....

ORIGINAL: opusboy...to rebuild it, but you wouldn't do that anyway. You would already have the original MSI, in order to have created the AIP but, if you *really* wanted to, you *could* use Orca (or whatever) to replace the file in that MSI but best practice is to *never* edit vendor MSIs and to use a transform instead.

If your desperate to edit the vendor MSI you "COULD" convert it back to a project file :)
I would NEVER do this personally but it is possible hehe.
