Editions, architectures, project
Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 8:29 am
Hi, I have completed some basic setups and am now trying to create a setup from current requirements.
1) We need to install:
sql exresss x32 and framework x32 on 32 architecture.
sql exresss x64 and framework x64 on 64 architecture.
We want to target both architectures in one installation.
How does one achieve this. Edition guide states that in Developer and up you can "Target 32 bit and 64 bit Windows with the same package". Is this actually a function of scripting as apposed to a GUI function in Developer and up? I checked the 64bit OS flag and included both architectures but the requiretments checking is still done for both architectures.
2) I need to install 1 of 3 features (mutually exclusive). So I need options instead of 'Installable features'. Is there a Dialog to assist? If I have to design my own dialog could it be done so as to still use the 'Filter by feature' functionality'? Dialog editing would require Studio at least?
3) I installed the setup with runtimes and was prompted for and edition. I selected Express, but still seem to have full functionality - Dialog editor, msi code editing. Is this normal?
4) I obviously messed up some msicode and saved the project. Now when I try open a the project it messages "'MAINTENANE' is not a valid integer value'. The project does not open to fix the problem. How do I get around this or do I have to scrap the project?
Thanks for any assistance.
