I've just checked this and it works ok,
Setup.exe [MY-MSI-PARAMETERLIST] passes the parameters to the msiexec command line.
However now I need to launch Setup.exe from a batch file which is uglier than having Setup.exe pick up its parameters from its own ini file.

Re: Where is my setup.ini [8.1]
If the ini file is hidden, but the Exe file is needed for prerequisites, how do you supply command line parameters and use an Exe ?
Can you use Setup.exe [MY-MSI-PARAMETERLIST] and the parameters are passed to the msiexec command line ?
Thanks
Alastair

Re: Table Editing Fault
Hi Bogdan,
That is most surprising because "Include CAB file into the MSI database" is checked and Orca shows that the msiDigitalCertificate table has been updated in the built msi file as per the edits made in the Advanced Installer table editor. I also edited the msiPatchCertificate table at the ...

Improved Documentation for Patch Certificate Renewal
We recently fell foul of the almost complete lack of Microsoft documentation on how to renew certificates for LUA patching. Given the potentially severe consequences if you fail to renew the certificate before the old one expires, it would be very helpful if Advanced Installer provided as much ...

Table Editing Fault
I have recently needed to add a row to the msiDigitalCertificate table and found that while the msi did build correctly, the new row is lost after the project is saved, closed and reopened.
The procedure to recreate the bug is :-

Re: Patching with renewed certificate fails
What to do if the certificate has already expired
If the certificate used for LUA patching has already expired there are a few options although all but one was unworkable for us.

How to renew a certificate for patching
The following information applies to Windows XP and requires the use of Windows Installer 4.5. I believe that UAC Patching on Windows Vista is broken because Vista removes the cab file from the msi file and then verifies the signature. Of course removing ...

Re: Patching with renewed certificate fails
We had to open a support call with Microsoft to resolve this because our users must be able to renew a certificate for patching while logged in as a non-admin.
Here is a summary of the outcome:
It is imperative to create a new patch containing the new certificate but signed by the old ...
