Re: Custom Action under user

Hi,
Thanks for your reply:

I assume you want to prevent the application from elevating to administrator level at the end of the installation process, right?

- Not exactly. You see our installation is done using a system server so it is always run under "SYSTEM" user .
In this case i need to run ...

Re: Patch Looking for source file

Hi daniel,

thanks for your reply. It worked. May I know what you changed to get it to work?

I'm afraid I don't fully understand this. The main difference between a patch and a major upgrade is that a patch contains only a diff between two MSIs so it have a smaller size (than a stand alone ...

Re: Getting MSI name

Hi Dan,

Thanks again for your reply. The workaround works fine. I copy the MSI to another location using custom dll.

Re: Patch Looking for source file

Hi,
Thanks for the reply dan.

But it still doesnt work, if the source msi isn't there, i can not patch it

And yes i am aware of the windows ignoring the last version number. But if i am not mistaken i use a patch for a minor upgrade. And for a major upgrade i can just use the actual installer.
