Can you imagine the forum posts on it though? Something like:
Guys, I'm having a problem with my persuader install, when I run it normally with interaction (wave it in people's faces) it works fine but whenever I try to install it silently (sneak up behind someone) nothing happens!! I have added the VICTIM=ReallySuppress property but it didn't help ...


I think you are being overly optomistic about how the call for help would read. More like - "My install fails, please help, experts".
CYNIC = 1

If ICE is hard to comprehend, use google search which will give you detailed explanation. Unless you understand the nature of the error, you cannot solve it.
BTW, do you understand the relationship between the msi tables?

There's a business opportunity here for you Murali. You should set up some training for the indian packagers on the forum!

Might keep them away from posting for a bit too!

I answer my best to the people who needs support on packaging. After all, this forum is meant for that, isnt it?

Well, yes and no in my opinion.

If I went to -say- a C++ programming forum, and I asked how to execute an .exe file, would that be acceptable in your opinion?
There's a certain level of autonomous study we should be allowed to expect from people frequenting this site, considering the fact that the job of packager implies at least some affinity with the realm of computers...

Rgds,

It is but one expects at least a basic level of knowledge from posters, as this definitely isn't an online tutorial.

@OP, use Google to look up the error and why it's present then use your packaging knowledge [pauses] to fix it. Note, however, that you can get into circular fixes, where fixing an error causes up a new error. Also note that some errors simply aren't worth pursuing, although some brain-dead clients insist on removing all of them. That is when The Packager's Persuader - a tool which closely resembles a baseball bat - is brought into play.

I'd go for Google every time - Google isn't going to fix the problem for you - just point you in the right direction.
You still get to fix it yourself - just saves a great deal of time.

The Packager's Persuader

Heck, I wanna become a reseller.

Can I have nails sticking out of mine?

Can I have nails sticking out of mine?Packaging customisations require you to create what's called a transform. In your transform, add a public property called "ADDLOCAL" with the value "NAILS" or, if you need industrial-strength persuasion to be brought into play, use the value "NAILS_WITH_CURARE".

Help...

LOL! And the forum response would be:

Please provide us with a verbose log file. Remember to use the "code" tage when pasting it in.

In addition, have you created the Custom Action for "hitting" VICTIM? Without it you can "wave" the persuader but not make a connection.
