How to edit a .ser file
Hi
I want to edit the Aperture.ser through the custom action.
Observation:
I am trying to edit Aperture.ser in my msi using the custom action.
Code in script am using to edit is:
Set objtextfilewrite=fso.open(filepath,2)
Objtextfilewrite.writeline(“abcedddâ€Â)
Objtextfilewrite.close
If I do this am able to edit it but the application is not recognizing the file. So it will pop up the dialogue box eature and serial key. If edit it manually then its working fine.
And if we give the feature key and serial key in that dialogue box it will edit the file then its working fine.
(f I create a text file, edit it and then change extension as .ser it is not accepting. So how do I create a .ser file.)

Have you tried "Set objtextfilewrite=fso.open(filepath,8)" (append) instead of "Set objtextfilewrite=fso.open(filepath,2)" (write)?
Which editor do you use when you do it manually (notepad)?

If you are using Wise you could use a WiseScript to do it - that way you'll also be able to search for existing strings and insert your text accordingly.
Not saying you can't to this in VBScript but it will probably be a lot quicker using WiseScript.
