network issues
01-08-09 rahulth Bug 453276: Windows Installer crashes when applying an Office patch.
msiregmv.exe strips the last null terminator from REG_MULTI_SZ values during
migration. To fix this, msi was made more robust by padding any read REG_MULTI_SZ
values with 2 terminating nulls to be safe.

01-08-08 cgouge Bug 452101: Eliminate random failure in action APIs where generated action cookie has 0
in the first byte.

01-07-13 rahulth Bug 432407 : 32-bit clients on IA64 looked for files in the wrong
folder during costfinalize because the translation of paths was not
being done, i.e. system32 was not getting translated to syswow64
in certain code paths.
01-07-11 cgouge Bug 431025: Transitive components added by a patch but conditionalized out now have

01-05-30 cgouge Bug 410505. MsiViewModify with VALIDATE flags now sets error character array based on column in

or greater
01-05-25 eugend Bug 332443: MsiZap is now Win64 aware, i.e. all builds work properly on Win64
and lowers SharedDLL refcounts in both 64 and 32-bit hives.
01-05-24 rahulth Changed the name of the .pdb for the downlevel msi.dll from msi.pdb to msi_l.pdb. This
allows the postbuild script for debuggers to pick up the pdb for indexing and have a signature
that is different from that of the symbol file for the whistler version of msi.dll (see
change 57919 in the root depot for the postbuild change for picking up the downlevel pdb
for indexing the symbols).
01-05-24 rahulth Bug 300071: Prevent Shared dll ref. count from getting decremented twice on x86.

01-05-04 cnapier Bug 381320: Fixed patchwiz to create patches and fixed the Installer to handle old schema and new schema
Patch tables. Because of the FTK fix, the change in the nullability of the Header column causes problems
when applying a transform if the old schema (where the column can't be null) is used first. This is because
a patch with the FTK limit issue has this column as null and uses the StreamRef_ column to reference the
MsiPatchHeaders table. To fix this, the Patch table is dropped and created automatically with the new
schema before application of any patches or transforms. This guarantees that the new schema always wins which
is compatible with old and new patches.
01-05-04 cnapier Bug 155046: Remaining languages -- EUQ, SLV, SKY, HRV, ROM, and CAT. Note that CAT's Error table is not
completely localized.
01-05-04 rahulth Bug 376181 : Grabbed a new version (5.0.2147.1) of cabinet.dll for downlevel platforms
(NT4 and Win9X). This not only ensures version parity for cabinet.dll with newer platforms
like Win2K but also fixes installation problems caused by the old cabinet.dll's inability
to handle varying sizes in the reserved fields of the cabs.
01-05-04 rahulth Bug 383958 : Instmsi no longer pops up any message boxes if it is invoked in quiet mode.
(caveat: unicode instmsi on Win95 Gold will cause the system to pop up a message box
about setupapi.dll missing.)
01-05-02 chetanp Bug 338432: Fixed feature caching logic to dump stale caching across installations
01-05-01 cnapier Bug 363989: AppCompat fix for minor update multi-target patches with bogus validation flags (product version
check is specified but no corresponding comparison flag is specified). The fix is similar to our fix for small
update patches -- we'll apply the first set of transforms and then skip remaining transforms. Also fixed patchwiz
to no longer create patches that specify these bogus validation flags.
01-05-01 chetanp Bug 370483: Fix start menu mess up on WINME korean when running darwin packages
01-05-01 cnapier Bug 155046. Drop of 29 (of 35) localized languages for Windows XP. Includes updated ActionText, Error, resource
files and instXXXX.msi files (for instmsi.exe language transforms). Updated languages are: ARA, CHS, CHT, DEU,
HEB, JPN, KOR, THA, VIT, CSY, ELL, ITA, PTB, RUS, PTG, DAN, ESN, FIN, ENU, FRA, HUN, NLD, PLK, SVE, TRK, NOR. New
languages are: ETI (estonian), LTH (lithuanian), LVI (latvian).
01-05-01 cnapier Bug 356192. Fix msi assert msiutil.cpp -- unable to delete file due to sharing violation. Added
retry loop with sleep.

01-04-30 rahulth Picked up a newer version of rich edit(5.30.23.1205).
01-04-30 mattwe Bug 370215: Client side caching of database running as LocalSystem no longer
receives security descriptors - this matches behavior of any other user.
01-04-30 cgouge Bug 323874: initial checkin for appcompat hook support in MSI custom actions.
01-04-29 chetanp Bug 368867: Help files are uninstalled with the SAPI SDK after upgrade from downlevel OS

_MSI_TEST test flags are also requeried.
01-04-27 cgouge Bug 370482: deferred elevated custom action server would not launch when
client is on a non-console session on Win2K.
01-04-27 chetanp Bug 375995: Add Codebase hint for private assembly COM classic interop

returned by GetLastError() we took either incorrect decisions or we've returned
wrong values.
01-04-25 mattwe Fixed RI blocker in instmsi.mak. Make files should use "CD" not "CD /D"
01-04-24 rahulth Fix for bug 376037 : Assert in oleaut32 about freeing unallocated memory.
01-04-18 rahulth Fixed the following bugs:

restore checkpoint.
01-04-18 eugend Bug 357718: If we cannot retrieve CRC checksums for a file, we display now the ship
error that fits in that context. Beforehand we've displayed a silly internal error.

01-04-18 cnapier Bug 349328: Removed ApiPatchingOption flags from Properties table of example.pcp file included
with the SDK. This is an obsolete property.
01-04-18 cnapier Bug 180824: Fixed msizap to include admin full control when adjusting ACLs for files and folders.
Formerly it would replace all ACLs with admin full control, thus ACLing out Local_System, etc.
01-04-18 cnapier Bug 301218: Fixed msifiler.exe and wifilver.vbs to properly handle companion files. Formerly it
would overwrite the companion file information in the Version column of the File table.
01-04-18 cnapier Checked in build #238 of msi.chm, msi.chi
01-04-18 cgouge Bug 313836: Orca can now view integer columns in Hex
01-04-13 chetanp Bug 342421: we now honour clients across assignment types (user + machine installations)
To do this correctly, we need to clean up HKCR information on platforms Win2k and above
in the scenarios where the last client for that component in a particular context is being
removed (last per user client going away, should take away the HKCU\S\C info, since the per machine
client would have written to HKLM\S\C. Hence needed to introduce 2 new iisEnum action states -
iisHKCRAbsent= 11 (only HKCR data to be removed), iisHKCRFileAbsent = 12 (HKCR + Files to be removed)
01-04-13 chetanp Bug 357314: fix assert when extracting empty custom action from binary table
01-04-12 mattwe Bug 356798: Files installed from cabinets now get permissions set with LockPermissions
01-04-12 mattwe Bug 355997: Fixed last error clobber in lock permissions code. Fixes error
message reporting when failing to look up user.

01-04-12 mattwe Removed assert when System Restore is frozen - BVT fix.
01-04-12 bench Bug 365593: fixed assert in Engine.Initialize when passed in an invalid command-line
01-04-12 bench Bug 366732: we now use the public shimdb.h instead of a private version.
01-04-10 cnapier Bug 268360: Patches can now be created when the file table key is long, causing
us to hit the OLE stream name limitation. Patchwiz and Msi now handle this by
using a MsiPatchHeaders table that maps a row in the Patch table to the patch
header stream. A patch containing a populated MsiPatchHeaders table can only
be applied with Windows Installer version 2.0 or greater. Patchwiz only creates
this table if it has to.
01-04-10 cnapier Checked in build #236 of msi.chm, msi.chi
01-04-09 weiruc Fix bug 300071, LowerSharedDLLRefCount now handles 64 and
32 bit paths correctly.
01-04-09 eugend Bug 357718: CRC checking displays now errors also for files whose checksums
it cannot get.
01-04-09 eugend Bug 359082: ScrollableText control displays now text that's over the 32K characters limit.
01-04-09 cgouge Bug 359886: Watch Merge Log option unsupported on 9x.
01-04-09 cgouge Bug 355665: Orca validation error when no CUB file selected.
01-04-09 cgouge Bug 359879: temp CAB file is now deleted by mergemod on Win9X.
01-04-06 bench Bug 345536: changed the text for error 2735.
01-04-06 bench Bug 356951: fixed assert during major upgrade patch. The assert was pointing out that we
were orphaning cached .msi files.
01-04-06 bench Bug 359878: fixed AV when installing a patch that updated some files which were also duplicated
in the DuplicateFiles action.
01-04-05 rahulth Bug 263973: fixed the TLS slot leak. We used to allocate the TLS slot g_dwImpersonationSlot
only once in msi.dll and then hold on to it as long as the dll was loaded. However we had
forgotten to free the slot when the dll is unloaded. Therefore, any process that loaded and
unloaded msi.dll would leak a TLS slot per load-unload.
01-04-03 eugend Bug 357028: fixed AV caused in the client by missing Directory table.
01-03-29 bench Bug 292811: added support for disallowing installs that have application compatibility
issues on Whistler (assuming that's ok with the user).
01-03-29 chetanp Bug 180771: converted debug assembly errors to ship

has been marked for deletion" popup after running instmsi on Win2K.
Bug: 284005. Fixed icon registration for msi files in the 32-bit hive on IA64 machines.
01-03-29 rahulth Bug: 339688. Fixed the custom action failures for non-admin users on NT4.
The cause of the problem was that advapi32!GetSecurityInfo does not like
pseudo handles on NT4.0. This was causing the custom action server to fail
when it tried to set the synchronize rights for non-admin users. The fix involves
passing in a real handle to the process rather than a pseudo handle.
01-03-29 cnapier Bug 353248: Return ERROR_DISK_FULL when out of disk space while attempting to cache
the msi package temporarily. If running with the UI, we give the user the option
to retry or cancel.
01-03-29 mattwe Bug 347901: We now ref-count our use of the Security token privilege (SE_SECURITY_NAME).
This allows us to set/unset the privilege in winlogon for reading file security off

(on Win64, when we write data into the 32-bit SharedDll - this is for 32-bit components).
01-03-28 bench Bug 148734: when a debug error occurs, the log will contain the full-text of the debug error, rather
than just the generic string with the error parameters. As part of this fix, we now store all of our
