Running MSINOF32.EXE

Postby Guest » Sat Jan 08, 2005 2:02 am

Hi

As part of the installation I'd like to ensure that msinfo32 is run to generate a full report - generally this is done with msinfo32 /report <path to report file>

The problem is that msinfo32.exe is often not on the path - it gets installed in common files\microsoft shared\msinfo

How can I replicate this in AI ? I've tried using the CommonFilesFolder macro but the program _appears_ to fail each time. Is there a logging option to see what actually happened ?

Thx

Starting from CommonFilesFolder is the right approach. Then create microsoft shared\msinfo inside.

The 2.3 release will include easy Run&Log. For now you can start the MSI with msiexec, whose command line has loggin options.

Hi Cata and thanks again

I've decided to put this functionality into another part of the application suite. In case you'd like to know AI will now be the installer for the Riffster products (http://www.polarity.com).
