Help! Don't understand the (un)Install MSI Setup plugin

[paul.griffiths]

I really need some help trying to bundle a Microsoft Outlook MSI into my installer.

1. I need guidance with regards to the parameters needed for the plugin. Dragging the (un)install MSI Setup plugin into the code, i want to be able to call a .MST file. What is the syntax for referencing the Transform file?

2. Can i add subfolders to the Support Directory? Lots of the files required for the install are in sub folders which I cant see, to add/reference!



Really appreciate the help

To add subfolders, use the File Bag command instead of support files. File Bag lets you add subfolders as well as individual files, and it returns the runtime location of those files to you while setup is running. It also lets you encapsulate those files inside web media blocks - so all works friendly with web builds of your setup.

For transforms, just use the standard MSI command line parameter. So you can click the button to generate the default ADDLOCAL=ALL and then add the remaining command line parameters in the same text box after ADDLOCAL.

Ok,

The Outlook .msi file does not contain the entire installation. There are many supporting files/folders that go with it. When I tell installware to install the msi it tries and then fails, I'm assuming becuase it doesnt find the supporting files. What can i do to solve this?

Also, the FIleBag plugin will only let me select files...not folders?

Just use a wildcard with File Bag...ex: put the MSI and all files it needs in a folder; and add that folder using wildcards...
