vs 2005 c#, need guidance on recording command line arguments to an msi (microsoft installer)
-
Hello All, I hope this is the correct forum, please excuse me if it is not. I am new to VS/C#. I have managed to make a simple service and MSI installer for it. What I need to do is make a change to the msi to read 3 command line arguments and record them in either the apps configuration file for the installed service or record them to the registry. If to the registry, I can change my service to read from it. The installer project does not have an obvious code (*.cs) page, so I am unsure how to proceed. Thanks! cjoki

This may be a place to start Create custom dialogs for use in your Visual Studio Setup projects[^]

Thanks mark...I am reading material now and running the SDK download to get Orca. To bad MS does not have that in a separate download...oh well. I will post my results later.
the author looks to make a number guesses about the inner workings of the wid file structures....still reading the link but I recall seeing something on WiX, a series of tools and xml file used to make a msi file, does anyone have experience with this and would this also be able to meet me requirements?
