Open a windows installer file using VB
Hi
I am trying to Open a Windows Installer database file using VB6.
I have included the refrences "Windows Installer Object Library" (msi.dll)
when I run the following code
Dim objWI As WindowsInstaller.Installer
Dim objDB As WindowsInstaller.Database
Set objDB = objWI.OpenDatabase("[pathof msi]",0)
I get an error saying "Object variable or With block variable not set ".
What could be the mistake on my part???
Thanks

I think you have to set the objects.
This at least works in my scripts.
Dim objWI
Dim objDB
Dim Database
Const msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly = 0
Const msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact = 1
Set objWI = Createobject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Set objDB = Createobject("WindowsInstaller.Database")
Set Database = objWI.OpenDatabase("pathtomsi",msiOpenDatabaseModeTransact)
This at least works in my scripts.
