Release 0.10.0210
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-02-09 bench bug 8766: fixed problem caused when the logon user
|
|
name begins with a '#'. we were failing to write a
|
|
value to the InProgress key, causing all installs to
|
|
fail.
|
|
|
|
99-02-09 cgouge Bug 8384. Memory leak in mergemod.dll. Reference
|
|
counts in enumerators were off by 1 due to problem in
|
|
clone methods. (SDK issue only).
|
|
|
|
99-02-08 cgouge Bug 8804. Extension.Extension, Verb.Extension_,
|
|
MIME.Extension_ changed to type "Text" to match
|
|
Docs/usage. (no code change)
|
|
|
|
99-02-08 cgouge Fixed bug 8802. Using "][" in a formatted field
|
|
would cause a crash/freeze during internal field
|
|
validation.
|
|
|
|
99-02-05 bench bug 8784: fixed error that occured when patching a
|
|
per-machine install including transforms.
|
|
|
|
99-02-04 cgouge Bug 8771, Validation. ICE09 was incorrectly
|
|
requiring that all components installed to the system folders
|
|
have keyfiles with system bits set. The only
|
|
requirement is that the permanent bit be set (and it is a
|
|
warning anyway.) Removed the incorrect check.
|
|
|
|
99-02-04 cgouge Bug 8747, Validation. ICE24 would print garbled
|
|
error messages due to a bad formatting string.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.5003
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-02-03 johndelo bug 8758, fix UILevel property to match INSTALLUILEVEL_*
|
|
values so that conditional logic works properly.
|
|
Previously was set to different internal enum values,
|
|
and was always set to default when running in service.
|
|
UILevel Property help topic has correct values, but note
|
|
that this topic is an automation topic, and not an
|
|
install engine property. Doc topic will be added on this.
|
|
|
|
99-02-03 johndelo German template.msi received and added to localized list.
|
|
templates\intl\template.DEU
|
|
|
|
99-02-03 eugend Fixed bug # 8748. From now on, the SelectionTree
|
|
control will stop displaying features (nodes) in bold.
|
|
|
|
99-02-02 malcolmh Fixed bug 8755. Fixed creation of shortcuts on the
|
|
desktop when profile folders are redirected.
|
|
|
|

|
|
when using the Remove string manipulation fn.
|
|
|
|
|
|
99-02-02 bench bug 8721: we now schedule the ttfcache file for deletion
|
|
even if it doesn't exist before shutdown.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4930
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-30 johndelo bug 8703, ObjectSafety interface by default now returns
|
|
not safe for scripting. Can be overridden by MSI
|
|
policy setting "SafeForScripting" = 1
|
|
|
|
99-01-30 johndelo bug 8687, permanent ODBC drivers should never be unregistered
|
|
|
|
99-01-30 bench bug 8258: on some installs with the ForceReboot
|
|
action, and "error accessing install server" error would
|
|
pop up after the reboot. This was caused by an RPC
|
|
failure in CoCreateInstance when attempting to connect
|
|
to the install server. The fix is to retry the
|
|
CoCreateInstance call when an RPC error is encountered.
|
|
We will retry once every 100 ms for at most 30
|
|
seconds.
|
|
|
|
99-01-28 malcolmh Fixed bug 8700: If you attempted to prepend a value
|
|
to an environment variable on NT, and the existing
|
|
value has an embedded environment variable, then we'd
|
|
incorrectly add "#%" in the middle of the environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
99-01-28 chetanp backed out bug 7412 changes due to office triage
|
|
punt.
|
|
|
|
99-01-28 chetanp bug 7412 - add bit to reinstall user data as well
|
|
during implicit reinstallation during
|
|
MsiProvideComponent, MsiProvideQualifiedComponent and
|
|
MsiProvideComponentFromDescriptor
|
|
|
|
99-01-28 chetanp bug 8698 - use of uninitialised buffer. Use
|
|
CTempBuffer.Resize inplace of SetSize.
|
|
|
|
99-01-27 chetanp bug 8553 - we now ensure that a feature had been
|
|
explicitly selected to be installed (locally or RFS) and
|
|
dont promote an advertised feature to installed just
|
|
because all its components are present.
|
|
|
|
99-01-27 chetanp Bug 8662, handle -1 roots as registry key paths for
|
|
components
|
|
|
|
99-01-27 cgouge Bug 8678, validation. ICE14 modified to do a case
|
|
insensitive compare when checking to see if a Feature
|
|
is its own parent.
|
|
|
|
99-01-26 malcolmh Fixed bug 8622. We have two new private properties
|
|
relating to our new public property security
|
|
mechanism:
|
|
|
|
RestrictedUserControl - should be set by darwin
|
|
whenever we're in the mode of restricting which public
|
|
properties get sent to the server side. authors can
|
|
use this property to conditionalize certain dialogs
|
|
and actions.
|
|
EnableUserControl - is the equivalent to the policy
|
|
of the same name. is essentially equivalent to a "*"
|
|
for SecureCustomProperties - when this property is
|
|
set, all public properties will always be passed across
|
|
to the server when installing or otherwise
|
|
configuring this pkg.
|
|
|
|
|
|
99-01-26 cgouge Bug 8570, Property table schema changed to allow
|
|
unlimited length in the Value column. Changed in schema
|
|
and all built databases.
|
|
|
|
99-01-26 mattwe 8066: picked up new versions of shfolder.dll from:
|
|
Alpha=\\iepub\pubs.ie5\BLD1321.1\ALPHA\flat\retail\en\alpha

|
|
|
|
99-01-21 malcolmh Fixed bug 8416: Security problem with custom action
|
|
DLLs present on system with higher version
|
|
|
|
We now **as our default** ignore public properties
|
|
that aren't in our approved list or in an
|
|
author-specified list. The author can extend our approved list
|
|
by setting the "SecureCustomProperties" property to a
|
|
semi-colon delimited list of properties that are to
|
|
be allowed in addition to the properties in our
|
|
hard-coded approved list.
|
|
|
|
We will, however, respect _all_
|
|
public properties (our former behavior) if any of
|
|
these conditions are true:
|
|
|
|
1) The user is on Win9X.
|
|
2) The user is an Admin.
|
|
3) The per-machine "EnableUserControl" policy is set
|
|
to 1
|
|
4) The product is not being installed elevated (i.e.
|
|
is unmanaged)
|
|

99-01-21 chetanp bug 8476 - directly use HKLM\S\C in place of
|
|
:RegOpenUserClassesRoot in case our caller is the local
|
|
system but is not impersonated.
|
|
|
|
99-01-21 chetanp bug 8470 - I have made all the words in our query
|
|
dictionary as uppercase. As per the triage's decision
|
|
I have NOT changed the string compare to a case
|
|
sensitive compare.
|
|
|
|
99-01-21 malcolmh Fixed bug 8134. Fix impersonation during
|
|
CreateFileFromData. This allows us to write icon and transform
|
|
data during app deployment even when user profiles are
|
|
redirected to a network share.
|
|
|
|
99-01-21 malcolmh Fixed bug 8483: We now have an HKCU version of our
|
|
ResolveIOD key. It's at
|
|
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\ResolveIOD. If an EXE
|
|
appears under either the HKCU or the HKLM key then we'll
|
|
allow install-on-demand.
|
|
|
|
99-01-21 tracyf Fixed bug 8471 - avoid potential internal error when
|
|
user cancels.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4920
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-19 johndelo bug 8440 - unbind ODBC driver manager DLLs before
|
|
file copy to prevent file in use, which then
|
|
caused mismatched ODBC DLL versions during IE install.
|
|
|
|
99-01-19 johndelo bug 8435 - corrupted Thai, Vietnamese InstMsi.msi
|
|
bug 8399 - bad/missing error 1639 resources in 5 languages
|
|
|
|
99-01-19 chetanp bug 8213 - fixed crash due to attempting to call
|
|
RemoveFontResource on a font that is being used by the
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
99-01-19 chetanp fixed bug 8450 where we were not properly creating
|
|
shortcuts for RFS components in multi-user scenarios
|
|
|
|
99-01-19 bench bug 8455: fixed an error in the InstallFiles action
|
|
when installing from a URL location.
|
|
|
|
99-01-19 bench bug 8460: fixed alpha-only bug that caused self-reg
|
|
to fail for dlls that linked to other dlls not
|
|
located in the %path%.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4919.1
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-19 tracyf Fixed bug 8433 - prior to the fix, an install using
|
|
the MoveFile table would fail with a fatal error if
|
|
the source file to be moved was in use.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4919
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-18 malcolmh Fixed bug 8413: Error 1310 copying Excel.pip and
|
|
Error 1406 writing some nls registry when boot XL after
|
|
upgrade to NT5.
|
|
|
|
This fixes a failure that occurs when Darwin is:
|
|
|
|
1) Doing an un-managed install and
|
|
2) Installing over an existing ACL'd file and
|
|
3) The file we're installing has the read-only
|
|
attribute set.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4915
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-13 bench bug 8259: since the RunOnce key has a 256-character
|
|
limit for the command line, we now store the
|
|
after-reboot command line for ForceReboot installs under
|
|
HKLM\SW\MS\Windows\CV\Installer\RunOnceEntries. the
|
|
RunOnce command line is now just "msiexec /@ XXXXXX"
|
|
where XXXXXX is the name of the value in the
|
|
RunOnceEntries key with the rest of the command line options.
|
|
note that this fix also provides the fix for bug 7777.
|
|
the original fix for 7777 was partially removed.
|
|
|
|
99-01-13 eugend Addittion to my 98-11-11 entry: PathEdit is another
|
|
control that always uses fonts in the user's default
|
|
UI character set.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4913
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-12 mattwe 8253: msiexec /regserver wouldn't actually
|
|
re-register msi.dll when the inprocserver32
|
|
registry entry was correct. This prevented
|
|
NT upgrades from working when the other
|
|
info from msi.dll was changed.
|
|
|
|
99-01-12 eugend Fixed bug # 8244. UsersLanguage style bit can be
|
|
set now for ListBox and ComboBox controls as well.
|
|
I've updated doc bug # 7631 to track this change.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4912
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-08 cgouge Bug 8327: Validation. ICE30 added support for
|
|
directories whose target path is set by either a Darwin or
|
|
user-defined property. Previously, it was possible
|
|
for a directory set in this way to report a collision
|
|
if the source directories were the same. It now maps
|
|
these directories to the different target locations.
|
|
|
|
99-01-08 bench bug 8365: fixed problem caused when patching an
|
|
admin image where the package had TempFolder in the
|
|
Directory table. this broke Office admin patching.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4908
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-07 mattwe bug 8331: made a pair of fixes for maintaining ACLs
|
|
on files already on your system when replace the
|
|
underlying bits. One involved periodically dropping
|
|
the ACLs, and the other involved always dropping
|
|
large ACLs. This is a fix to problems introduced
|
|
in bug 6456.
|
|
|
|
99-01-07 bench bug 8329: removed msidbUpgradeOperator enum from
|
|
msidefs.h, which was inadvertently left behind when we
|
|
removed support for the Upgrade table (on non-NT5
|
|
systems).
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4906
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-05 cgouge Bug 8276: Validation. ICE15 modified to accept
|
|
multiple extensions associated with a single MIME type. As
|
|
long as a circular reference exists between a MIME
|
|
type and an extension, other MIME types can reference
|
|
that same extension and other extensions can
|
|
reference that same MIME type.
|
|
|
|
99-01-05 mattwe Fixed bugs 8155 and 7193: Due to serious performance
|
|
and not-so-serious implementation bugs with
|
|
GetNamedSecurityInfo API in NT4-SP4, we have switched
|
|
to GetFileSecurity() to read security and ownership
|
|
of files.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.4905
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
99-01-04 malcolmh Fixed bug 7854. We now support a list of process
|
|
names that we enable MsiProvideComponentFromDescriptor
|
|
for on low shell versions. To enable a process, write
|
|
the process name (e.g. explorer.exe), as the "name"
|
|
portion of a named value pair under
|
|
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\ResolveIOD. We
|
|
use this logic:
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Bug 7854. This code is a hack to work around an
|
|
issue with early shell
|
|
// release wherein calling IShellLink::Resolve
|
|
faults in the shortcut.
|
|
// This causes problems with some apps (e.g. Win98
|
|
fat16->fat32 converter
|
|
// that enumerate the Start Menu, resolving each of
|
|
the links). Suddenly
|
|
// the user will notice all of their advertised
|
|
apps being faulted in. The
|
|
// hack is as follows:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1) Are we in the explorer's process? Allow call
|
|
to proceed; otherwise
|
|
// 2) Does our shell have the issue fixed? Allow
|
|
call to proceed; otherwise
|
|
// 3) Is the ResolveIOD policy set? Allow call to
|
|
proceed; otherwise
|
|
// 4) Are we in a process that really wants
|
|
IShellLink::Resolve to really
|
|
// resolve? This list is in the registry. If so,
|
|
proceed; otherwise
|
|
// 5) Return 1603. This should (hopefully) cause
|
|
Darwin-unaware apps to
|
|
// ignore the link.
|
|
|
|
99-01-04 malcolmh Fixed bug 8288: We now create MIF files in our SHIP

-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-12-29 bench fixed bugs 8147 and 8247, which dealt with allowing

98-12-17 mattwe Bug 8212: Fixed a memory leak in SetSecureACL
|
|
|
|
98-12-17 cgouge Bug 8164. The DisableBrowse and DisablePatch system
|
|
policies have been moved to HKLM from HKCU. The keys
|
|
are created with a value of 0 at Darwin install and
|
|
ACL for System and Admin full, everybody read.
|
|
|
|
98-12-17 bench bug 7952: when patching a feature in the
|
|
run-from-source state, the feature will now be moved local
|
|
instead of advertised.
|
|
|
|
98-12-17 cgouge Bug 8167. The _Sequence, _Required, and
|
|
_InstallValidate tables are no longer part of the schema, and
|
|
thus are no longer part of template.msi, simple,msi,
|
|
etc. These tables are only used by ICEs, so they are
|
|
shipped as part of the CUB file. They should generally
|
|
not be included in any MSI.
|
|
MsiVal.exe does use these tables, but it is not a
|
|
shipping tool anymore. In order to continue validating
|
|
as part of the build process, we create a temporary
|
|
MSI in the TEMP directory that is a merge of the
|
|
database to be validated and these three tables (from the
|
|
CUB file source directory). After validing this temp
|
|
file, it is deleted.
|
|
|
|
98-12-17 mattwe Added entries to the Environment table for
|
|
TestDb code coverage. Also changed the
|
|
ProductVersion per John Delo's request to
|
|
6.01.1234
|
|
|
|
98-12-17 mattwe Bug 8066: Took shfolder.dll 5.0.1011.2100 for
|
|
alpha/x86.
|
|
|
|
98-12-17 mattwe Bug 8181: Removed default logging from instmsi.
|
|
This interfered with policy logging, and the logs
|
|
were always cleaned up at the end of the run.
|
|
|
|
98-12-17 mattwe Bug 8171: took new SKY instmsi.msi (inst1051.msi)
|
|
|
|
98-12-16 bench bugs 8120, 8160: added a new per-user policy called
|
|
DisablePatch. if set, patches may not be applied.
|
|
this is needed in secure environments as patches can
|
|
change an existing install in unlimited ways. and if
|
|
the existing install is managed, the changes made by
|
|
the patch are run with elevated privileges. in
|
|
addition to the new policy, installs that are disabled by
|
|
policy now return ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_REJECTED
|
|

98-12-15 johndelo Version bumped to 1.0 , in preparation for shipping.
|
|
There should be no compatibility problems, as this

is effectively the same as version 0.30.
|
|
Databases can be left with their current version
|
|
to maintain compatibility with older MSI versions.
|
|
If the database version (Summary Property 14, Pages)
|
|
is advanced to 100, then older MSI versions will
|
|
not be able to open the package.

98-11-11 eugend fixed bug # 7505. From now on controls will create
|
|
fonts using the database's code page when it comes to
|
|
choose the font's character set (vs. the system's
|
|
code page as returned by GetACP() that was used so far).
|
|
This ensures that the information in the database will
|
|
be displayed properly (provided there is language support
|
|
on the machine).
|
|
|
|
Exceptions to this are the Edit, DirectoryList and
|
|
DirectoryCombo controls that will always use fonts in
|
|
the user's default UI character set. Another
|
|
exception is the Text control if it has the UsersLanguage
|
|
stylebit (value = 0x100000) set - this is useful for
|
|
displaying text the user entered in Edit or PathEdit
|
|
controls.
|

I've open the following DOC bugs related to this:
|
|
- 7631 on the UsersLanguage stylebit

98-11-10 chetanp bug 7261- On NT5, for a component with a file key
|
|
path, we now register an auxiliary HKCR registry key
|
|
path from the Registry table, if one exists for that
|
|
component. This is to handle scenarios where a product
|
|
is (user) installed by one user on a machine and then
|
|
another user attempts to install the same product on
|
|
the same machine. Components that have a file key
|
|
path will not be implicitly reinstalled as they appear
|
|
already installed. Adding the auxiliary key path will
|
|
have the effect of making the component appear
|
|
broken (and rightly so, since it is missing the corr. HKCR
|
|
info for that user) and cause darwin to reinstall
|
|
the component.
|
|
|
|
98-11-10 bench Added a new property, called "ProductState", which
|
|
identifies the current state of the product, and can

98-11-10 johndelo Improved logic for selecting basic UI language/codepage.
|
|
Before the package is opened (or it is truly neutral),
|
|
when selecting a language to display to the user, we
|
|
use the new API GetUserDefaultUILanguage when available
|
|
(which is set under NT5 locale panel: Dialogs and Menus).
|
|
The property, PackageLanguage, which normally must match
|
|
the SummaryInformation language (Template property, 7),
|
|
is ultimately used to select the language for dialog
|
|
text and buttons loaded from the resources in MSI.DLL,
|
|
and could be changed by externally applied transforms.
|
|
Fonts are selected based on the codepage of the text data.
|
|
Database strings use the codepage of the database strings.
|
|
Resource strings use the default codepage for their language.
|
|
List/comboboxes use the system codepage on Win9X,
|
|
or the codepage of the user language on NT. As always, it
|
|
is imperative that the codepage of MSI or MST be set properly.
|
|
If all the strings in the database are ASCII text, then the
|
|
codepage should be 0, to allow using font better for user data.
|
|
|
|
98-11-08 cgouge Fixed Bug 7501. We now set the "TerminalServer"

98-10-28 chetanp bug 7317 - As a result of fixing darwin bug 7317 the
|
|
Extension.ShellNew and Extension.ShellNewValue
|
|
columns have been removed. We now no longer write these
|
|
keys from the Extension table. Instead, it is expected
|
|
that the author author this information in the
|
|
Registry table. These changes have warranted a schema
|
|
change and we are now at schema 30. However we are still
|
|
compatible with the older databases (>= 26) and the
|
|
behaviour is unchanged for the older databases (i.e. we
|
|
use the Extension.ShellNew and
|
|
Extension.ShellNewValue columns at advertisement).
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 chetanp bug 7372 - added support to generate the FontTitle
|
|
for a TTC file, if not provided in the Font.FontTitle
|
|
column.
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 chetanp bug 7383 - we now set the %windir%\ttfcache file for
|
|
deletion pending reboot, in case we install a ttc
|
|
font file to a win9x machine.
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 chetanp bug 7388 - we now have a new
|
|
MsiProvideQualifiedComponentEx API that takes an extra szProduct arg. When
|
|
this arg. is specified we search for a qualified
|
|
component published by that product , else we fail (NOTE:
|
|
we do not fall back to using another Darwin
|
|
Descriptor). If szProduct is null we work the same as
|
|
MsiProvideQualifiedComponent.
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 johndelo ----Transform viewer implemented internally in Msi.dll----
|
|
To invoke transform view mode, open the reference database normally,
|
|
then use the flag MSITRANSFORM_ERROR_VIEWTRANSFORM in MsiDatabaseApplyTransform.
|
|
This flag then stops the transform from being applied to the database,
|
|
and instead dumps the contents into a read-only temporary table, _TransformView.
|
|
This table can then be accessed with normal SQL queries, and is never persisted.
|
|
Table is held in memory by a lock count, that can be released with a SQL command
|
|
"ALTER TABLE _TransformView FREE".
|
|
The table is not cleared when new transforms are applied resulting in successive
|
|
application of the transforms. Release the table to view transforms separately.
|
|
|
|
---SCHEMA FOR _TransformView TABLE---
|
|
|
|
Table CHAR, PK name of altered table
|
|
Column CHAR, PK name of column, or: INSERT, DELETE, CREATE, or DROP
|
|
Row CHAR, PK row: primary key values, tab separated, NULL if schema change
|
|
Data CHAR data (name of stream if stream data), or column definition
|
|
Current CHAR current value from reference database, or column number
|
|
|
|
Therefore the various transform operations are indicated as below:
|
|
---DML ops---
|
|
Modify data: {table} {column} {row} {data} {current value}
|
|
Insert row: {table} "INSERT" {row} NULL NULL
|
|
Delete row: {table} "DELETE" {row} NULL NULL
|
|
---DDL ops---
|
|
Add column: {table} {column} NULL {defn} {column number}
|
|
Add table: {table} "CREATE" NULL NULL NULL
|
|
Drop table: {table} "DROP" NULL NULL NULL
|
|
|
|
To form the row ID, the primary key values are concatenated, tab separated.
|
|
Null primary key values are represented by a single space character.
|
|
|
|
Scripts have been checked in to call the APIs and view the result table,
|
|
and are available as well in \\dartools\distrib\Viewers.
|
|
WshTranV.vbs - VBScript for Windows Scripting Host - CScript.EXE
|
|
TranView.vbs - VBScript to be run with RunScrpt.EXE (Darwin NT-only tool)
|
|
The latter script also has a Diff function for comparing databases.
|
|
Use ? or Help on the command line for the command syntax.

|
98-10-27 johndelo Bug 7399. We now attempt to find a SansSerif font when the package is
|
|
not in the system codepage, avoiding the ugly Serif fonts that were seen.
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 cgouge Bug 7081. Validation. New ICE48, checks for
|
|
"hardcoded" directories, that is, directories that are also
|
|
keys in the Property table. Provides a warning for
|
|
each case.
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 cgouge Bug 7401. Validation. ICE49 checks for default reg
|
|
entries (no name) that are not REG_SZ. (for Win95).
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 cgouge Bug 7430. Validation support for new Admin image
|
|
flag in SummaryInfo stream. ICE39 now gives a warning if
|
|
this bit is set.
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 bench bug 7015: fixed post-admin installs from packages
|
|
with files marked "compressed" in the File.Attributes
|
|
column. admin images are fully uncompressed, even for
|
|
files marked compressed. this is to allow patches
|
|
to update any files in an admin image. as a result,
|
|
we now ignore the compressed bit when installing from
|
|
an admin image. to designate a package as being in
|
|
an admin image, a new bit was added to the "source
|
|
type" summary info property. the possible values are
|
|
now 0-5, where 4 is admin with LFN and 5 is admin with
|
|
SFN.
|
|
|
|
98-10-27 davidmck Fixed bug 7418, needed to handle the ifiAccessDenied
|
|
return from GetAllFileVersionInfo.

|
|
potential mistakes with a warning.

98-10-26 mattwe Bug 7354: Re-arranged supported platform list
|
|
in instmsi/copymsi to work-around alpha only bug
|
|
#7422
|
|
|
|
98-10-26 mattwe Bug 7404: Instmsi/CopyMsi now put explicit
|
|
accellerators on install/uninstall/apply verbs.
|
|
With the explicit '&' the first letter works,
|
|
but it isn't underlined in the UI.
|
|
|
|
98-10-26 bench bug 7338: added a new bit to the File.Attributes
|
|
field that designates a file as coming from a patch
|
|
package. the new bit is necessary to mark files that are
|
|
always compressed. formerly these files were marked
|
|
with the "compressed" bit, but this bit will be
|
|
ignored when installing from an admin image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-10-26 mattwe Fixed bug 7335 (reactivated for the system agent)
|
|
We can now tell the difference between when the
|
|
system agent is stopped, versus when it is paused.
|
|
|
|
98-10-26 malcolmh Fixed bug 3794. DISABLEMEDIA is now set only when
|
|
the summary source bit is set to compressed.
|
|
|
|
98-10-23 tracyf Per bug 7216, components can be flagged with the new
|
|
"Transitive" attribute bit (value: 64). If this bit
|
|
is set, then at reinstall time, if the component was
|
|
previously disabled but is now enabled, it will be
|
|
installed. If it was previously enabled, but is now
|
|
disabled, it will be removed. The primary motivation
|
|
for this bit is to allow applications to be upgraded
|
|
when the OS is upgraded, by simply running a
|
|
reinstall of the product. Note that, for "transitive"
|
|
components that are being removed on reinstall, the
|
|
Permanent bit is ignored. Even if the component has other
|
|
products as clients it will still be removed (with the
|
|
implicit understanding that the author has
|
|
conditioned another OS-specific component to be installed in
|
|
its place on upgrade).
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-10-23 mattwe Fixed bug 7365: InstMsi/CopyMsi no longer write
|
|
the Install To Network verbs.

98-10-22 davidmck Fixed bug 7258 by increasing our default timeout in
|
|
Ship to 5 minutes.
|
|
|
|
98-10-22 mattwe Bug 7335: The screen saver and system agent now save their
|
|
initial states at the beginning of the execute mode, turn off
|
|
for the duration of the install, and then restore at the end
|
|
of execute mode. Exception: If the screen saver or the system
|
|
agent were off at the beginning of the install, and then
|
|
are turned on by the user during the install, we won't turn
|
|
them back off.
|
|
|
|
98-10-22 bench Bug 7376: when rolling back and restoring a file when the new
|
|
file was in use, we would replace the new file, but leave a
|
|
reboot operation to delete the file. for Office 2000, this
|
|
occurs when system files are replaced and an error occurs after
|
|
the mid-install reboot. rollback occurs and upon the next reboot
|
|
the system files are missing.
|
|
|
|
the fix was to avoid doing a Remove then Replace when copying
|
|
a backup file over a new file during rollback. we now just
|
|
do the replace.
|
|
|
|
98-10-22 mattwe Bug 6121: copymsi/instmsi, during an administrator
|
|
user's installation, now waits for the service
|
|
in the temp directory to stop before exiting.
|
|
This allows IExpress to fully clean up.

98-10-20 bench bug 7209: fix a problem causing file to not be

updated when patching an admin image.
|
|
|
|
98-10-20 mattwe Bug 7088: backed out initial fix for 7088, and
|
|
implemented by adding new script type:
|
|
istAdminInstall. Same behavior as previous fix.
|
|
|
|
98-10-20 bench bug 7362: removed all unnecessary "uncompressed"
|
|
bits from File tables of released packages.
|
|
|
|
98-10-20 bench bug 7310: admin packages were not being restored by
|
|
rollback after a failed admin patch. they are now.
|
|
|
|
98-10-19 johndelo Bug 7277: Transform streams not marked as system.
|
|
Database table stream are flagged as system to keep their
|
|
namespace distinct from user streams such as cabinets and
|
|
binary streams. Transform table streams have been changed
|
|
to match the names of the corresponding database table streams.
|
|
Temporary compatibility is present to recognize streams
|
|
generated with older builds of MSI. However, transforms
|
|
generated with this build will not be useable on older builds,
|
|
unless either the databases had uncompressed stream names,
|
|
or the _MSI_TEST environment variable has the "z" option set.
|
|
|
|
98-10-19 cgouge Bug 6444, part 2. New ICE39, checks Summary
|
|
Information Stream for various 'bad things', such as bad
|
|
GUID, bad Template format, etc. This ICE is *NOT*
|
|
available through the web page, because ICEMAN does not
|
|
support Summary Info validation (coming in the future.)
|
|
You must have the new Evalcom (see below) for this ICE
|
|
to work via MsiVal2, etc. It will fail gracefully if
|
|
you do not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-10-19 mattwe Fixed bug 7088: Added a field to ixoHeader to indicate
|
|
the mode in which it was generated. (see msiauto.hlp)
|
|
|
|
We no longer register folders that are created during
|
|
an admin install. When we do register folders, a
|
|
failure will now be logged and ignored.
|
|
|
|
98-10-19 cgouge Bug 6444, part 1. In order to support SummaryInfo
|
|
validation, the validation startup routines in the
|
|
EvalCom COM server have been changed. This COM server is
|
|
used by MsiVal2 to do validaiton. The new system
|
|
takes advantage of the changes to MsiDatabaseMerge (Bug
|
|
7124) to generate better error messages in certain
|
|
failure cases. The new system creates the MSI engine
|
|
from the CUB file instead of from the merged database.
|
|
This change means that CUB files must now have an
|
|
empty property table in them to avoid asserts in the
|
|
DEBUG versions of Darwin. If you are using an older CUB
|
|
file with DEBUG Darwin, you will get asserts in
|
|
engine.cpp. Evalcom is also OS-independent now, the same
|
|
bits will work on ANSI and UNICODE.
|
|
|
|
98-10-16 cgouge Bug 7139. Validation: Updated internal validation

98-10-16 cgouge Fixed bugs 7137, 7140, 7141. Updated _Vaidation
|
|
entries for TextStyle.StyleBits, Shortcut.ShowCmd,
|
|
ServiceInstall.StartType.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-10-16 mattwe Fixed bug #7282: On rollback, registry keys will
|
|
be explicitly created by the RegCreateKey operation
|
|
unless they had an AddValue operation. This allows
|
|
the security settings to be reapplied.

Insertable, NotInsertable.
|
|
|
|
98-10-15 tracyf Fixed bug 7010 - on Win9x, if the CRC check fails
|
|
(for files in the File table that have the HasChecksum
|
|
bit set), we now ignore this check if the file is in
|
|
use. This is because a Win9x bug prevents the
|
|
checksum from being calculated properly if the file is
|
|
loaded in memory.
|
|

98-10-13 chetanp bugs 6724 and 7129 - removed the Class.RemoteName,
|
|
Class.Insertable and ProgId.Insertable columns. The
|
|
Class.RemoteName column was never used. The
|
|
Class.Insertable and ProgId.Insertable columns were used to
|
|
advertise the OLE Insertable keys. We now no longer write
|
|
these keys from these advertise tables. Instead, it
|
|
is expected that the author authors this information
|
|
from the Registry table. This has warranted a schema
|
|
change and we are now at schema 29. However we are
|
|
still compatible with the older databases (upto and
|
|
including 26) and the behaviour is unchanged for the
|
|
older databases (ie we use the Insertable columns at
|
|
advt.).

98-10-08 bench bug 7193: fixed logging when triggered by the policy
|
|
value. previously we would keep overwriting a
|
|
single log in each install invoked by a process, so that
|
|
only the last install from the process was logged. we
|
|
now generate a new log for each install. in the
|
|
course of fixing this bug, new information was added to
|
|
the beginning of each verbose log: the date and time,
|
|
the type of Darwin build (ship/debug, ansi/unicode),
|
|
the Darwin build #, and the calling process.
|
|
|
|
98-10-08 chetanp bug 6961 - we now skip the conversion of the file
|
|
path to a short file path for InProcServers from the
|
|
Class table (so in effect only LocalServers are forced
|
|
to Short Paths).

98-10-08 cgouge Bug 7124. MisDatabaseMerge now returns
|
|
ERROR_DATATYPE_MISMATCH when one or more tables in the database
|
|
have schema conflicts. It now does the schema checks
|
|
before merging any of the tables, so you won't get half
|
|
a merge anymore.
|
|
|
|
98-10-08 mattwe Bugs 6981, 7118: During rollback we now elevate and set

SeRestorePrivilege for writing security descriptors.
|
|
|
|
98-10-09 johndelo Bug 7186: Failure to open streams on Win98J with user
|
|
language set to English. Problem is that JPN maps DBCS
|
|
characters into the private use area of Unicode that we
|
|
were using for stream names. That alone is not so bad,
|
|
but when the user Language is set to English, then the
|
|
stream name processing gets messed up as the DBCS chars
|
|
are individually uppercased, causing failures. Simple fix
|
|
was to use a Unicode block unprocessed by any codepage.
|
|
However, databases produced with builds 4522 and later will
|
|
not be readable with this build. Either export the tables with
|
|
the old MSI version and reimport them with the current build,
|
|
or use the tool 4524Fix.exe, checked into Darwin project, and
|
|
also available on \\JDELO3\public\tools. MsiInfo.exe and
|
|
DBView.exe have been updated for the new stream name offset.
|
|
Build 4524 has been rebuilt with this fix -> now 4524.6
|
|
Transforms are affected as well, and the tool will update them.

98-10-01 bench bug 7015: a change to admin installs when certain
|
|
files in the File table are marked with the
|
|
"compressed" attribute bit. any cabinets containing files files
|
|
are copied to the admin install, so that post-admin
|
|
installs will correctly find the compressed files
|
|
(since they are marked compressed, they are assumed to
|
|
be compressed regardless of the global "source type").
|
|
also, embedded cabinets containing these types of
|
|
files are not dropped from the package when it is
|
|
copied to the admin image.

|
98-10-01 bench bug 6960: when rebooting on Win9X, we would leave
|
|
behind the .msi file in the %temp% folder. this was
|
|
caused by attempting to delete the temp msi after
|
|
calling ExitWindowsEx. on Win9X, there is not enough time
|
|
to do this before the system shuts down. the fix
|
|
was to reboot after deleting the temp msi.
|
|
|
|
98-10-01 cgouge Fixed Bug 7041. msidb fixed to work with the new
|
|
stream and storage APIs. It now correctly handles both
|
|
compressed and uncompressed stream names. The new
|
|
system allows streams and storages to have the same
|
|
names (because the stream name is actually compressed),
|
|
so the -k and -x actions had to be split. -k and -x
|
|
work with streams, wheras -j and -w remove and extract
|
|
storages.

98-09-28 cgouge Bug 6846, validation. ICE43 checks that
|
|
non-advertisable shortcuts are in components that use HKCU reg

multiple users on a machine run the install and only the

|
|
|
|
98-09-25 bench Bug 6987: the ARPNOMODIFY property, when set, will
|
|
cause the UninstallString written to the Uninstall key
|
|
(and used by downlevel ARPs) to contain the command
|
|
line to uninstall, rather than configure. This can
|
|
be used by packages without UI to uninstall through
|
|
the Add/Remove Control Panel. Previously, the
|
|
Uninstall string was always to configure, which was useless
|
|
for packages without UI.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this new behaviour is only applicable on NT4 and Win9X,
|
|
as the NT5 ARP doesn't use the Uninstall string.
|
|
|
|
NOTE2: as always, the ARPNOREMOVE property causes no
|
|
UninstallString to be written at all, and the package will
|
|
not show up in the ARP.
|
|
|
|
98-09-24 cgouge Bug 6010. Validation. ICE29 modified to accept new

The bad DLL version is now detected at load time, and a

|
workaround is enabled that corrects the faulty code.
|
|
Compressed stream naming is now re-enabled, and the
|
|
_MSI_TEST 'Z' now disables the name compression (temporarily).
|
|
For a short period of time, the uncompressed/unqualified

|
stream names can be forced with open flags. For complete

|
details, see the notes below from 98-08-18.
|
|
NOTE: You cannot directly add streams to an MSI file.
|
|
You must use the _Streams pseudo-table and the APIs.
|
|
|
|
98-09-21 chetanp fixed bug 6804 - we now remember the flags passed in
|
|
to MsiAdvertiseScript so that we know if shortcuts
|
|
and OLE and Qualified Components info had been created
|
|
for the app. If not create we create the same during
|
|
the first run of the app.
|
|
|
|
98-09-21 chetanp fixed bug 6435 - in order to ensure that darwin
|
|
cnfg. data for user assigned apps is secure, we have
|
|
shifted the location of the info from HKCU\S\C\Installer
|
|
to
|
|
HKLM\S\M\W\CurrentVersion\Installer\Managed\<SID>\Installer. Also we replicate all info for assigned
|
|
apps in the non-assigned location as well
|
|
(HKCU\S\Microsoft\Installer), in order to support roaming (albeit
|
|
the app working as unassigned).

6813: Maintenance mode after domain change keeps

98-09-17 bench Bug 6910: we now write UpgradeCode information

|
|
|
|
98-09-16 bench Bug 6624: fixed a crash when changing a key name in

|
a record containing a stream. When changing the key
|
|
value to a large string, the stream name computed may
|
|
become larger than 32 characters, which is not

|
|
We're going to have to use transforms for the rest

|
|
Previously, we would attempt to rollback the

98-09-03 johndelo bug 5567, and other language/resource basic UI bugs
|
|
We now use the database language and codepage to
|
|
obtain and display resource strings. Because we do
|
|
not set the language soon enough, if the language of
|
|
the user does not match the system, there is currently
|
|
a delay until the correct language appears (postponed bug).
|
|
All non-handler dialogs and message boxes use common
|
|
code that is language and charset aware, but there are
|
|
some cosmetic issues that will be cleaned up shortly.
|
|
All dialogs now use the common caption, which is initialized
|
|
with "Windows installer", but gets changed later.
|
|
The caption resource strings are gone, Yes and No added.
|

|
|
98-09-03 chetanp bug 6043 - added AVAILABLEFREEREG property to allow

column. The syntax for this is [!FileKey]. This
|
|
evaluates to corr. Short File Names only when used in the

[#FileKey].

RemoveOldProducts action occurred before the main actions for
|
|
the new product, a "source not found" error occurred.
|
|
The fix was to save the old source list before
|
|
uninstalling the old product so the source list could be
|
|
used for the new product.
|
|
|
|
98-09-02 bench Fixed bug 6493: when a DLL custom action failed, we
|
|
erroneously put up an error message stating an exe
|
|
custom action failed. We now only display this error
|
|
only for EXE custom actions.
|
|
|
|
98-09-02 bench Fixed bug 6507: when opening an existing suminfo
|
|
stream (either through automation or the
|
|
MsiGetSummaryInformation api) for write (passing property count > 0)
|
|
and calling persist before writing any properties,
|
|
the existing properties are deleted. The fix was to
|
|
write out the existing properties when persisting even
|
|
if no properties were added or deleted.
|
|
|
|
98-09-02 mattwe Fixed bug 6722 - AppId.ActivateAtStorage and
|
|
AppId.RunAsInteractiveUser were busted such that you
|
|
couldn't successfully create a false value.
|
|
Now, nulling the column or using 0 as the value
|
|
evaluate as false. Any other value is considered
|
|
true.
|
|
|
|
98-09-02 mattwe Fixed bug 6725 - x86 instmsi/copymsi will not install
|
|
on ALPHA machines, even when x86 is emulated.
|
|
You can still copy the bits by hand, if you *really*
|
|
want to, and run /regserver.
|
|
|
|
98-09-02 davidmck Fixed bug 6605 - Script performance work. We
|
|
compress Unicode strings to SBCS strings when possible in
|
|
the script. We also compare a record being written to
|
|
the script with the previous record being written and
|
|
any parameters that are identical are flagged and not
|
|
actually written to the script.
|
|
This means that all scripts created with this version
|
|
of Darwin are incompatible with previous versions.
|
|
Previous scripts are still compatible with this
|
|
version of darwin.
|
|
|
|
98-09-01 bench Bug 6446: when installing over in-use files, we now
|
|
attempt to rename the file (which works on NT) and
|
|
install the new file in the correct spot, rather than
|
|
installing the new file to a temp spot and scheduling
|
|
a rename. This gives files a better chance to be in
|
|
the correct spot immediately, even if the existing
|
|
files are in use. The in-use files that are moved out of
|
|
the way have names starting with "TBD" (to-be-deleted).
|
|
|
|
NOTE: this normally happens automatically when rollback
|
|
is enabled. This fix made for this bug ensures consistent
|
|
behaviour when rollback is not enabled.
|
|
|
|
98-09-01 mattwe Bug 6678: Removed the "Open" verb from Msi.Patch and
|
|
Msi.Package.
|
|
|
|
98-09-01 mattwe Bug 6594: Platform launch conditions for UNICODE/ANSI
|
|
on Win9X and NT are now all handled by msiinst.exe
|
|
|
|
98-09-01 bench Bug 5132: Darwin now allows non-admin users to replace
|
|
or delete files on reboot (on NT). MoveFileEx requires
|
|
admin rights to call, since the reg key being written
|
|
to is by default read-only for non-admins. To allow
|
|
non-admin users to perform this action, Darwin uses
|
|
its elevated privileges when calling MoveFileEx, but
|
|
first verifies the user actually has permission to do the
|
|
rename/delete.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: prior to this fix, we were always elevating before
|
|
calling MoveFileEx without making the proper access checks.
|
|
|
|
98-09-01 bench Bug 6181: when attempting to remove an acl'ed file, we now
|
|
display an error with the appropriate buttons. if we
|
|
failed to remove a file because it was in-use, we don't
|
|
display an error but rather schedule the file for delete
|
|
after reboot.
|
|
|
|
98-09-01 bench Bug 6596: if the user ignores the failure to overwrite a
|
|
file because the file is acl'ed, we used to copy a temp
|
|
file anyway and schedule a rename operation. a fix was
|
|
made to no longer do this.
|
|
|
|
98-09-01 mattwe Bug 6645: InstMsi/CopyMsi now correctly determine
|
|
the existence of a previous MSI install for non-admin
|
|
upgrades of Darwin. This will allow you to upgrade
|
|
*from* non-standard install locations (build tree,
|
|
et cetera.) We still only install *to* the
|
|
SystemFolder.

98-08-27 davidmck Fixed bug 6562. We now stop any custom action thread
|
|
from closing a handle that it did not open. In
|
|
addition, any non-custom action thread can close any
|
|
handle it wishes.
|
|
There is still a hole where a custom actoin can start
|
|
another thread and close any handle it likes. If
|
|
custom actions want to be evil, there are lots of things
|
|
they can do besides this.
|
|
Note that we've changed this to be an error return of
|
|
ERROR_INVALID_THREAD_ID for custom actions, so
|
|
before they would just assert, now the handle will not be
|
|
closed.
|
|
|
|
98-08-27 chetanp bug 6573 - we now install shfolder.dll with darwin
|
|
on Win9x and assume it is always present. Hence we
|
|
install to the AppData folder all the cached information

|
|
don't match (as before), OR if the file has no
|
|
detectable checksum (i.e. the file might be so corrupted we
|
|
can't read the file header).
|
|
|
|
98-08-25 cgouge Validation: New ICE30. (Bug 6014) Ice30 checks that
|
|
two different components don't install the same
|
|
filename into the same directory. It will check both LFN
|
|
and SFN cases, and will also catch equivalent
|
|
directories under keys in the Directory table. Generates an
|
|
error if any files collide, unless both components
|
|
are conditionalized, in which case it generates a
|
|
warning.
|
|
|
|
98-08-25 cgouge Validation: ICE35 update (checking compressed

We now have a script new flag:
|
|
SCRIPTFLAGS_VALIDATE_TRANSFORMS_LIST. If this flag is specified, and
|
|
we're not removing, then we require that the transform
|
|
list in the script's ixoProductInfo field match exactly
|
|
the transform list registered for the product. If
|
|
the product isn't registered then the script may

|
98-08-20 davidmck Fixed Bugs 6512 and 6478. I changed how we handle
|
|
connecting to the service. Previously we would assert
|
|
if the proxy msi.dll that was registered did not match
|
|
the msi.dll we had loaded.
|
|
Now we refuse to connect to the service. Also, on NT,
|
|
if we need to access the installer key, we check
|
|
when trying to create the config manager and fail if we
|
|
need the key and cannot access it.
|
|
This will prevent us from hitting an error later on
|
|
when previously we would create a local config
|
|
manager, but it would be unable to run an install.
|
|
|
|
98-08-20 davidmck Added MsiGetFileVersion API (Bug 6234) for tools to

98-08-20 bench Fixed bug 6557. When patching a network image, we

|
TARGETDIR path or re-enter the path in the admin dialog.

|
98-08-20 chetanp bug 6549 - changed component installation behaviour
|
|
- We used to prevent an older component (lesser
|
|
keyfile) from overwriting an already DARWIN installed
|
|
newer component (implying, if the file exists without
|
|
having being installed by darwin - we go ahead and
|
|
install the component irrespective of the version - since
|
|
we did not trust the previous install to be complete/
|
|
exact). Now we dont care how the newer file got
|
|
there, we prevent the install, irrespective of whther we
|
|
(Darwin) installed or not.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-08-20 chetanp fixed bug 6454 - We now allow for setting a property
|
|
to a registry/ Ini value as is via the RegLocator/
|
|
IniLocator table w/o the interpretation as a file or
|
|
folder and without verification that it exists. We
|
|
allow for this by using the value 2 in the
|
|
RegLocator.Type/ IniLocator.Type column. Of course, if someone
|
|
uses this to set a Directory property, and it is
|
|
invalid, we would fail.

98-08-20 malcolmh Fixed bug 6504: Uninstall Patch and Security: /x
|
|
uninstalls appears to elevate where /i Remove=All
|
|
doesn't
|
|
|
|
This was caused by our incorrectly determining
|
|
whether the product is "managed". In the ARP case we know
|
|
that the product is not managed because we're handed
|
|
the product code up front. In the "/x" case we don't
|
|
know the product code up front so we think the app
|
|
is in first-run. Because the user is an admin and it's
|
|
first-run, we elevate. I've pushed back our "Is this
|
|
app managed" check into Engine::Iniitialize to solve
|
|
this problem. I added a new iei return from
|
|
Engine::Initiialize called ieiPackageRejected. This maps to
|
|
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, the same value that we used to
|
|
return when a package was rejected for security
|
|
reasons.

98-08-18 johndelo Bug 4130, 6462 - Changes to stream names in MSI files.
|
|
Changes to MSI persistent stream handling: There have
|
|
been a number of problems with stream name limitations
|
|
in the current implementation of OLE docfiles:
|
|
1. Stream names are limited to 31 characters. This is
|
|
unacceptable for stream names that must be uniquely
|
|
qualified with a GUID.
|
|
2. Stream names are case-insensitive on open. This
|
|
could cause unexpected problems in merging, as the
|
|
generated stream names internally in MSI are
|
|
case-sensitive.
|
|
3. Certain stream name lengths cause erroneous behavior
|
|
and crashes inside OLE32.DLL.
|
|
4. Storage names, private streams managed solely by the
|
|
database, and user-streams such as custom actions,
|
|
icons, bitmaps, and cabinets all share the same
|
|
namespace, with the potential for disastrous
|
|
consequences.
|
|
|
|
In addition, there has been no way for tools to add
|
|
streams and substorages to the database being
|
|
processed, as there is no access to the storage. They
|
|
have been forced to save and close the database, and
|
|
then use direct OLE calls. This requires in some cases
|
|
knowledge of specific information, such as storage
|
|
CLSIDs. Forcing such direct access makes it impossible
|
|
to upgrade our persistent file format in the future, a
|
|
very serious constraint.
|
|
|
|
---Solution---
|
|
1. Stream names are compressed internally, and can use
|
|
up 62 characters if the characters all belong to the
|
|
identifier set (letters, digits, period, underscore),
|
|
which it true for the stream names generated from
|
|
tables having stream columns. Non-identifier characters
|
|
are acceptable, but will not participate in the 2 to 1
|
|
compression. Stream names beginning with the control
|
|
character '\005', such as "\005SummaryInformation" are
|
|
never compressed, as they must be publicly accessible
|
|
from property browsers.
|
|
2. Stream names are case-sensitive on open, due to the
|
|
compression scheme.
|
|
3. External stream data, private database streams, and
|
|
storages have separate namespaces.
|
|
4. To support external addition of streams and
|
|
substorages, two new pseudo-tables have been created:
|
|
_Streams and _Storages. These are not persistent
|
|
tables, but are simply temporary tables created on
|
|
demand and filled using our stream and storage
|
|
enumerators when one of those tables is loaded. They
|
|
each have two columns, Name which is the string name of
|
|
the stream or substorage, and Data which is a stream
|
|
holding the data. Standard queries can thus list the
|
|
non-private streams and substorages, and new streams
|
|
and substorages can be added from files using the
|
|
existing API MsiRecordSetStream. Streams and
|
|
substorages can be deleted by setting the stream data
|
|
to NULL. Stream data can be extracted with the API
|
|
MsiRecordReadStream. Substorage data cannot be
|
|
extracted with this API currently, but since the names
|
|
are not compressed, OLE APIs can open the substorages.
|
|
5. Updated views of _Streams and _Storages tables will
|
|
be written when the view is closed or on
|
|
MsiDatabaseCommit. If the data could not be written
|
|
when the view is closed, it will be retried on Commit
|
|
(same as with other database tables), and an error will
|
|
be generated at that time if unsuccessful.
|
|
6. Databases generated with old stream names will be
|
|
processed as before, and will thus have the limitation
|
|
mentioned above. They are distinguished by a different
|
|
storage CLSID.
|
|
7. There will be a compatibility mode for some period
|
|
of time, which will use the old stream names and the
|
|
old storage CLSID, to allow the generation of databases
|
|
that can be used by older versions of MSI. This mode
|
|
is forced by adding the bit flag 16 to the open mode
|
|
for database or storages. Internally that is defined as
|
|
idoRawStreamNames or ismRawStreamNames.
|
|
8. Transforms, a variant of the database format, have
|
|
the same stream limitations, and will also use the
|
|
compressed stream naming if the input database uses
|
|
compressed streams.
|
|
|
|
Some options have been added to MsiOpenDatabase, but
|
|
are not currently in msiquery.h
|
|
MSIDBOPEN_RAWSTREAMNAMES = 16 // old-format names
|
|
MSIDBOPEN_PATCHFILE = 32 // patch file as DB
|
|
The latter allows patch files to be generated using
|
|
the MSI API functions, without having to know the
|
|
internal storage details.
|
|
|
|
MsiDb.EXE temporarily has an option, -o, to create an
|
|
old-format database, rather then -c for a new-format
|
|
database.
|
|
|
|
Old-format databases, transforms, and patch files can
|
|
be read by the new MSI. However, this backward
|
|
compatibility will be removed before ship.
|
|
|
|
A sample VBScript which generates and views files with
|
|
streams and substorages is at
|
|
DARWIN\src\tools\script\patchtst.vbs
|
|
|
|
Yet to do:
|
|
MsiTran.EXE needs to be updated to view transform
|
|
file internal data. Documentation for newsystem tables,

98-08-18 johndelo Bug 5036 - move component mapping to machine registry.
|
|
Each feature for a product registers the list of
|
|
component IDs along with the name of the parent feature.
|
|
In the past this information has be in the user
|
|
registry, and the size taken can be considerable for a
|
|
product with many features and components. For the
|
|
following reasons, this feature-component mapping has
|
|
been moved to the machine registry along with the
|
|
component registration:
|
|
1. Much space taken in user profile with component IDs,
|
|
even for applications that have never been installed.
|
|
2. Advertise scripts bloated with needless component IDs.
|
|
3. Logon time adversely affected by excessive
|
|
registration.
|
|
4. Performance improvement by avoiding opening of user
|
|
registry keys during activation of installed features.
|
|
5. Need to bring all the component logic together in
|
|
preparation for eventual move of registration out
|
|
of HKLM, for improved performance and resource usage.
|
|
|
|
Products that are advertised should present no problem,
|
|
as we temporarily handle the old registration (this will
|
|
eventually be pulled for increased performance). And old
|
|
packages and old advertise scripts will still work fine.
|
|
But products that are already installed and use MSI to
|
|
find or fault in components will need to be reinstalled.
|
|
Alternatively, a tool, MsiMig.exe, is in our release that
|
|
will migrate the feature-component mapping for all
|
|
installed products. It would be nice if the new MSI
|
|
would handle both old and new registrations, but this
|
|
proved to be much to complicated to implement and test.
|
|
|
|
In order to allow newly generated advertised scripts
|
|
to work with older versions of MSI, the stripping of
|
|
the feature-component mapping from the script files is
|
|
temporarily disabled to give time for users to upgrade
|
|
(the stripping can be forced by setting the environment
|
|
variable: _MSI_TEST=J
|

98-08-18 malcolmh Fixed bug 6536: Uninstall fails to delete a file
|
|
that the user can delete with explorer
|
|
|
|
98-08-18 tracyf Fixed up the BasicUI dialog to better match Windows
|
|
guidelines (bug 6498)
|
|
|
|
98-08-18 mattwe Fixed bug 6475 - Objects whose security is set
|
|
via the LockPermissions table now pass their
|
|
security onto their children via inheritance.
|
|
|
|
98-08-18 chetanp fixed bug 5642 - We now have file versioning logic
|
|
for TTC fonts. As per attached thread, we take the
|
|
first font in the TTC file, and use its version to stand
|
|
for the version of the TTC collection in general and
|
|
for TTC vs TTC file comparisions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-08-18 tracyf Fixed bug 6033. The fix reduces Darwin's stack
|
|
requirements considerably (previously, the large buffer
|
|
Darwin uses for copying files was being reserved on
|
|
the stack, potentially causing problems for host
|
|
applications with a small stack size - it is now
|
|
allocated on the heap).
|
|
|
|
98-08-17 malcolmh Fixed bug 6491: MsiEnumProducts failed to skip the
|
|
bad ProductCode.
|
|
|
|
98-08-17 chetanp fixed bug 4265 - removed support for database
|
|
versions < 28
|
|
|
|
98-08-17 mattwe Fixed bug 6255 - changed instmsi/copymsi to detect
|
|
Win98 as Version9X < 410, instead of < 411.
|
|
Some machines have 411, some have 410.
|
|
|
|
98-08-17 mattwe Fixed bug 6513 - UpdateEnvironmentStrings on Win9x
|
|
wasn't getting passed the location to the autoexec
|
|
correctly.
|
|
|
|
98-08-17 davidmck Fixed bug 4196 - Perf improvements for faulting in
|
|
components. See the bug for details on all that
|
|
changed in order to regression test appropriately.
|
|
|
|
98-08-14 t-caroln Fixed bug 5679, VALIDATION. ICE28. Validates for
|
|
actions that can't be separated by ForceReboot using
|
|
the _SetExclusion and _PlaceHolder tables in the
|
|
darice.cub file. These tables are in
|
|
%DARWIN%\src\tools\iceman\ices. This ICE can be made to handle any other
|
|
actions similar to ForceReboot that can't break up a
|
|
set by modifying those tables.
|
|
|
|
98-08-14 t-caroln Fixed bug 6485, CMsiDatabase::ImportTable not
|
|
catching all errors, Changed to handle a failure during
|
|
SaveToStorage of the table or the _SummaryInformation
|
|
stream. Returns a debug error only (as this failure
|
|
shouldn't occur during ship).
|
|
|
|
98-08-14 t-caroln Fixed bug 5423, VALIDATION. This concerns ICE26
|
|
which validates required/prohibited actions in the
|
|
Sequence tables. Validation is based off of the _Action
|
|
table located in %DARWIN%\src\tools\iceman\ices and I
|
|
have included an XL spreadsheet in the same directory
|
|
with a table of the values that I used. I based it
|
|
off of template.msi and testdb.msi and both pass this
|
|
ICE. However, if changes are needed, only change
|
|
the _Action table by turning off/on the specific bit.
|
|
AdminUISequence is 0x00000001, AdminExecuteSequence
|
|
is 0x00000002, AdvtUISequence = 0x00000004,
|
|
AdvtExecuteSequence = 0x00000008, InstallUISequence =
|
|
0x00000010, InstallExecuteSequence = 0x00000020
|
|
|
|
98-08-14 davidmck Perf change to CMsiFileStream : We now buffer this
|
|
similarly to the buffering of the CMsiStream object.
|
|
This gives us a large improvement on writing and
|
|
reading the script file.
|
|
|
|
98-08-13 chetanp fixed bug 4347. RMCCPSearch is a noop if the
|
|
CCPSearch table is missing or empty.
|
|
|
|
98-08-13 mattwe #6430: removed the progid table from instmsi.
|
|
All of this is handled via custom actions.
|
|
|
|
#6125, #6433: Ben's fantastic work has enabled
|
|
us to remove the move/rename hacks from instmsi.
|
|
The instmsi/copymsi database now pass validation
|
|
again.
|
|
|
|
98-08-13 cgouge Validation: New ICE34. Validates that radiobutton
|
|
groups all have defaults so that blind users can use
|
|
them effectively. Handles both direct and indirect
|
|
contrrols. TestDB FAILED this ICE, so I added 3
|
|
properties to the property table to set the defaults in
|
|
several groups.
|
|
|
|
98-08-13 malcolmh Fixed bugs:
|
|
|
|
6353: Rolling back an install can remove ACLs from
|
|
a file
|
|
6176: AD: Darwin does not always reset Busy flag on
|
|

|
|
6323: AD: Call to CoInitializeSecurity in Darwin
|
|
service too loose and can be a potential hole
|
|
6456: Patching: Security ACLs altered on patched

cached .msp on Uninstall
|
|
6340: Providing a URL in Network Resource Dialog
|
|
fails to find source files.
|
|
6442: Need to add the TTCSupport property for those
|
|
systems that support TTC's
|
|
6445: Patching: Applying bad patch to an advertised
|
|
app riggers assert in msiutil.cpp
|
|
6447: Patching\Transforms: Memory leak after
|
|
transform fails during patch
|
|
6422: Get internal error 2260 when expecting network
|
|
error
|
|
|
|
98-08-13 bench Fixed bug 6428: template.msi contained two
|
|
ValidateProductID control events, which caused an error when
|
|
attempting to use this package without adding the
|
|
PIDKEY and ProductID properties. Since these properties
|
|
are optional, the control events were removed to
|
|
prevent this error. The control events were in turn
|
|
added to testdb.msi to keep it working.
|
|
|
|
98-08-13 t-caroln Fixed bug 6432, authoring error in msival2. Avoid
|
|
problems now by using the merge database process in
|
|
the makefile. Now merge in template.msi.

98-08-12 andrewh bug 6460 - return code from instmsi/copymsi was
|
|
always failure.
|
|
|
|
98-08-12 andrewh bug 6455 - InstMsi requires a reboot on NT4/sp3, the
|
|
file table entry for ImageHlp.dll was incorrect,
|
|
causing us to try to install it when an equal version
|
|
exists.
|
|
bug 6459 - Instmsi.exe /q reboots without asking,
|

|
|
Release 0.10.00.4412
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-08-11 chetanp fixed 4347. We skip the AppSearch, CCPSearch and
|
|
the RMCCPSearch actions in InstallExecuteSequence
|
|
table if we have run the InstallUIsequence table.
|
|
Also we have put the restriction that AppSearch
|
|
should use public properties only (to allow us to
|
|
skip AppSearch if we have run it on the UI side).
|
|
Also we fatal error out of RMCCPSearch, if
|
|
previously CCPSearch had not succeeded and
|
|
RMCCPSearch does not succeed. Hence we no longer need
|
|
the CCPFail UI dialog.
|
|
|
|
98-08-12 mattwe Bug #6421: file versioning for instmsi was busted
|
|
for the main Windows installer files. Fixed with
|
|
pointing msifiler to the build dir.
|
|
|
|
98-08-12 t-caroln Fixed bug 6010, VALIDATION. ICE29, which validates
|
|
stream names (ensures that if truncation must occur
|
|
to fit within OLE Storage's 31 char limit that the
|
|
stream names will still be unique).
|
|
|
|
98-08-11 chetanp fixed 6034. if we need to increase the registry
|
|
quota for an install we now persist the increase across
|
|
reboots (before it was effective only for that session
|
|
- ie until reboot, hece we ran into problems after a
|
|
reboot, since the registry quota was now already
|
|
overflown).
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 mattwe Bug #6416: we were using a string column as an integer,
|
|
and finally got caught without a string by that id
|
|
to back it up. The DirNonConfigurable in the directory
|
|
table is now short, instead of string.
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 chetanp fixed bugs 6379, 6402 - incorrect assumption that
|
|
product is (admin) assigned when called by the local
|
|
system (example during InsertObject of a feature of a
|
|
non assigned product).
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 t-caroln Fixed bug 6178, Strings not displaying correctly on
|
|
Win9X JPN. We now on Win9X call CreateFont to obtain
|
|
a Font Handle and then sending WM_SETFONT messages
|
|
to the controls on the dialog.
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 mattwe Bug #6409: Added msi.dll, msihnd.dll, and msiexec.exe
|
|
to the BindImage table for instmsi/copymsi
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 bench Fixed bugs 5234 and 6396. The "vital" bit in the
|
|
File.Attributes column and the "non-vital" bit in the
|
|
Patch.Attributes column are honored by patch
|
|
application. When the patch "non-vital" bit is set all errors
|
|
for that patch are ignored. Otherwise, the file
|
|
"vital" bit turns off the "Ignore" button on errors
|
|
patching that file.
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 mattwe Bug #4811: We weren't retrying missing uncompressed
|
|
files from a URL server. Involves a change to CopyFile.
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 t-caroln Fixed bug 6065. Testdb.msi not pass validation.
|
|
Testdb had failed ICE18 validation.
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 t-caroln Fixed bug 6401, defined ErrorDialog property in
|
|
Property table for template.msi
|
|
|
|
98-08-10 t-caroln Fixed bug 6400 dealing with a schema problem in
|
|
template.msi. Also fixed all schema differences reported
|
|
by the skemadif tool for all of the databases.
|
|
|
|
98-08-08 t-caroln Added a -f option to msival2 so that you can
|
|
suppress info messages. msival2 {database} -Z -f will only
|
|
display errors and warnings.
|
|
|
|
98-08-08 t-caroln Fixed bug 6220 -- VALIDATION. Now ICE27. ICE27
|
|
makes the cube file have all of the functionality of
|
|
msival.exe. ICE27 validates the organization and the
|
|
order of the Sequence tables. Because it handles the
|
|
organization, I removed that code from msival.exe.
|
|
MsiVal.exe still does data validation and sequence
|
|
order validation. The _InstallValidate table is now no
|
|
longer needed. Your database does not have to have
|
|
the _Sequence table for ICE27 to work (as it is
|
|
included in the cube file). A new table was added, the
|
|
_Action table. If you add a new standard action, you
|
|
need to update this table with the correct information.
|
|
The table is located in
|
|
%DARWIN%\src\tools\iceman\ices.
|
|
|
|
98-08-06 malcolmh Fixed bug 6002: Unexpected error 2335 when running
|
|
nested install
|
|
|
|
98-08-06 malcolmh Fixed bug 6299: 'Product Code not registered' is too
|
|
geeky
|
|
|
|
98-08-06 chetanp fixed bug 5629: For the Published Component API
|
|
functions, we now enumerate through all the locations
|
|
(hkcu\s\c\i, hkcu\s\m\i, hklm\s\c\i) in the order of
|
|
precedence for qualifiers for the same component (id).
|
|
We take care to skip repetitions during enumeration.
|
|
|
|
98-08-06 mattwe Bug 6110: Fixed DatabaseCopy operation for URLs
|
|
to copy from the currently running database instead
|
|
of downloading from the internet again.
|
|
|
|
This also involved an optimization during opening
|
|
the database to run from the copy in the internet
|
|
cache in the user's profile, rather than copying
|
|
from there to the temp file, and then running there.
|
|
|
|
98-08-05 malcolmh Fixed bugs 6334, 6335, 6357: Issues with UNICODE
|
|
APIs on Win9X
|
|
|
|
98-08-05 malcolmh Fixed bug 6332: invoking maintenance mode from
|
|
package results in caching of new package
|
|
|
|
98-08-05 bench Fixed bug 5952: if a suspended install exists that
|
|
was running a different top-level action than the
|
|
current install, we resumed the in-progress install with
|
|
no warning to the user. The user is now asked to
|
|
rollback the suspended install before continuing.
|
|
|
|
98-08-05 malcolmh Fixed bug 6361: Selecting alternate path from
|
|
SourceList dialog uses prior source in list.
|
|

98-08-05 malcolmh Fixed bug 6180: Install should failed when logon
|
|
user has not privilege to replace a file.

|
|
|
|
98-08-05 tracyf Fixed bug 6271 - All apps with a file in use are now
|
|
listed in the FilesInUseDialog, not just the first.
|
|
|
|
98-08-05 mattwe Bug #6255: We no longer install ImageHlp.Dll on
|
|
Win98 machines.
|
|
|
|
Bug #6039: We now hide the extraction animation
|
|
from IExpress for copymsi/instmsi. This results
|
|
in a several second delay in the regular mode,
|
|
but a completely quiet run for Office.
|
|
|
|
98-08-05 tracyf Fixed bug 6194, such that features marked with the
|
|
DisallowAbsent attribute will be guaranteed to be
|
|
installed if that feature's parent is installed (see the
|
|
bug report for specific instances where this was not
|
|
always the case).
|

|
arguments not consistent
|
|
|
|
98-08-04 mattwe Bug #6256: We were registering the non-verb shell info
|
|
from the temp directory for copymsi/instmsi. It's now
|
|
a custom action on the target bits at the end of the
|
|
install
|
|
|
|
Bug #6262: Cleared up the 9X registration story for
|
|
copymsi/instmsi.
|
|
We now DllRegisterServer on msi.dll on 9X. /regserver
|
|
is wrong, as well as not registering anything at all.
|
|
|
|
Bug #6260: We now install msierror.msg on all
|
|
platforms.
|
|
Design note: this is *always* installed, so you may
|
|
end up with a newer version with older Darwin. These
|
|
should be backwards compatible, however.
|
|
|
|
98-08-04 bench Fixed bug 5987: applying two patches to an install
|
|
left the install broken and unusable.

98-08-04 malcolmh Fixed bug 6304: PATCHING: The source that a patch is
|
|
invoked from is not added to the patch's sourcelist
|
|
|
|
98-08-04 bench Fixed bug 6305: added another potential value for
|
|
the REBOOT property: REALLYSUPPRESS. (only the first
|
|
character is checked so REBOOT=R works as well). When
|
|
this value is used, even reboots triggered by the
|
|
ForceReboot action are suppressed. These reboots are
|
|
not suppressed by REBOOT=S(UPPRESS).
|
|

|
|
|
|
98-08-03 t-caroln Fixed bug 6254. Engine Condition Parser now handles
|
|
the possibility of DBCS characters in the string
|
|
literal correctly. Also fixed the related area in the
|
|
Validation condition parser. The CharPrevCch function
|
|
in istring.cpp now respects the DBCS simulation.
|
|
|
|
98-08-03 t-caroln Fixed bug 5773. ICE17. An update to ICE17 to
|
|
validate Picture buttons correctly. The update validates
|
|
the Bitmap and Icon controls as referencing entries
|
|
in the Binary table (unless the Image Handle attribute
|
|
is set). It also validates that any PushButton,
|
|
CheckBox, or RadioButtonGroup with the bitmap or icon
|
|
attribute set (not both) correctly references the
|
|
Binary table, unless the Image Handle attribute is set.
|
|
For RadioButtonGroups, it validates each RadioButton
|
|
belonging to the property specified by the
|
|
RadioButtonGroup.

98-07-31 cgouge VALIDATION: Bug 6016, New ICE#31. Added ICE31 to
|
|
examine text controls for TextStyle tags and validate
|
|
those tags against the Text Style Table. Gives warnings
|
|
if the text style is missing. Also gives a warning
|
|
if the text style is bogus for some reason (more than
|
|
one, not at beginning of text, etc). Added file
|
|
\src\tools\iceman\ICEs\msiice5.cpp
|
|
|
|
98-07-31 t-caroln Fixed bug 3311 - ICE32. Validates that the keys and

|
|
activated we apply transforms too many times
|
|
|
|
98-07-31 chetanp bug 5267 - we now allow the Font.Title column to be
|
|
null for .TTF files. If the Title is not provided, we
|
|
get it out ourselves from the font file. This
|
|
eliminates authoring error for this column.
|
|
NOTE: The Font.Title column specs have changed from
|
|
NotNullable to Nullable.
|
|
|
|
98-07-31 malcolmh Fixed bug 6050: Too hard to machine-assign by
|
|
default.
|

We now support ALLUSERS=2 which causes us to do a
|
|
machine install if possible, otherwise do a user
|
|
install.

98-07-30 Tracyf Fixed bugs 5706, 6269, 6273 (all involving Selection
|
|
Tree problems in maintenance mode).
|
|
|
|
98-07-30 bench Fixed bug 5659: verbose logging is enabled. Verbose
|
|
logging is triggered by the 'v' log mode, and
|
|
contains much more useful information than the normal log.
|
|
Note that verbose logging doesn't log ALL debugmsgs
|
|
(stuff written to debug output).
|
|
|
|
98-07-30 t-caroln Fixed bug 6239 --> ICharNext in UNICODE now behaves
|
|
the same as WIN::CharNext. Also added INextChar
|
|
which does not do the check on the pointer. When using
|
|
INextChar you need to check to make sure you don't run
|
|
off of the array.
|
|
|
|
98-07-30 t-caroln Fixed bug 6247, Auto::ComponentPath returns EMPTY on
|
|
error from MsiGetComponentPath.
|
|
|
|
98-07-30 bench Fixed bug 5943: each patch package (msp file) can
|
|
now contain a list of old patches that are removed when
|
|
the new patch is applied. This list is stored in
|
|
the summary info stream of the msp file in the
|
|
REVNUMBER property. This properties format is now the patch
|
|
code followed by the list of old patches. No
|
|
delimiters seperate the different patch guids.
|
|
|
|
98-07-30 mattwe Note that the new CopyMsi (as of 4320) no longer installs
|
|
the help files. This is by design, and is also suggested
|
|
by the doc team.

-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.4329
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-07-29 t-caroln Fixed bug 5661, extending Version category
|
|
validation to do better checks of the Language column (must
|
|
not be a Binary or Long Integer column). If String,
|
|
the Category in the validation table must be Language.
|
|
|
|
98-07-29 bench Added new incremental versioning scheme to build
|
|
process. Rebuilds will now bump the last version field
|
|
of all built files, and the drop folders will include
|
|
the incremental version. For example, a rebuild of
|
|
4329 will be versioned 0.28.4329.1 and will be
|
|
dropped to a 4329.1 folder.
|
|
|
|
98-07-29 cgouge Updated M3COM to handle module exclusion tables
|
|
appropriately. This required a change to the M3DOCK tool.
|
|
|

-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.4329
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-07-28 t-caroln Fixed bug 6230, Validation. Validate_New now works
|
|
for foreign key validations of self-joins for a
|
|
record to be inserted (failed previously with a new record
|
|
specifying a root directory with the
|
|
Directory.Directory=Directory.Directory_Parent case).
|
|
|
|
98-07-28 bench Fixed bug 6075: assert and error when applying a
|
|
patch to an admin install.
|
|
|
|
98-07-28 t-caroln Fixed bug 6231. Msival2 no longer crashes if you
|
|
forget to specify the parameter following an option
|
|
(like -i or -l)
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 chetanp bug 6200: fixed performance issue with multiple
|
|
files in use detection inefficiency
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 t-caroln Overhauled the msidlgs.exe tool and re-wrote it. It
|
|
now calls all W versions of API on WINNT and all A
|
|
versions on Win9X. Added the /L option to print out
|
|
all languages in the dll (msidlgs {msi.dll} /L). Now
|
|
uses it's own LoadStringEx function. On Win9x the
|
|
system must already be in the proper codepage.
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 6002: Unexpected error 2335 when running
|
|
nested install
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 6190: We are not set fImpersonate
|
|
correctly in CreateFileStream when call MsiAdvertiseScript
|
|
from service using an UNC pathed script file.
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 6184: InProgress mutex is being created
|
|
without a security descriptor.
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 5977: Feature caching prevents repair of
|
|
parent features.
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 6198: MsiGetUserInfoW on Win9X doesn't
|
|
handle DBCS correctly
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 6217: Specifying TRANSFORMS=foo.mst on the
|
|
command-line causes crash
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 6044: Won't update components if the
|
|
keyfile is of equal version or if certain reinstallmodes
|
|
are set
|
|
|
|
98-07-27 chetanp bug 5514: fix shortcut removal issue during
|
|
upgrades. We now delete DD shortcuts only if they point to
|
|
our product.
|
|
|
|
98-07-24 malcolmh Fixed bug 6175: AD: Darwin uses different location
|
|
for package even if asked to use a specific package
|
|
|
|
98-07-24 malcolmh Fixed bug 5205: Logging: note in event log causes
|
|
of ERROR_BAD_CONFIGURATION
|
|
|

98-07-24 malcolmh Fixed bug 6001: AF: srcmgmt.cpp when removing LAN
|
|
connection to source files
|
|
|
|
98-07-24 mattwe Bug #5568: Removed verb registration from
|
|
msiexec /regserver. You now must run instmsi/
|
|
copymsi at least once get the verb registration.
|
|
|
|
Bug #6118: We no longer use the verb/extension
|
|
tables for the localized verbs in instmsi/copymsi
|
|
|
|
Bug #1765: We've seperated the verbs for msiexec
|
|
out into a res file, and are sending it to localizers.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 davidmck Fixed Bug 5964,. We were doing background costing
|
|
with an error message up. Probably not a good idea.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 t-caroln Fixed bug 6099: Validation. Validation can now
|
|
handle DBCS characters correctly. Also inlined the
|
|
ICharNext and exposed it in istring.h. Updated all calls
|
|
to use ICharNext which has special meaning in Debug
|
|
(DBCS simulation). Ship calls WIN::CharNext directly
|
|
and UNICODE directly performs a ++pch. Use ICharNext
|
|
from now on.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 t-caroln Fixed bug 6197 -- Validation of Sequence actions in
|
|
Msival.exe. While msival would still work, if an
|
|
action had more than one error related to it, it would
|
|
only print it out one time. Thus, the user would fix
|
|
it, run msival again, and it fail again (for the 2nd
|
|
error that it didn't print out). Now all errors are
|
|
printed out in one swoop.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 chetanp bug 6170 - The RemoveRegistryValues action should
|
|
precede the UnregisterMIMEInfo and the
|
|
UnregisterProgIdInfo actions to ensure that the ProgId and MIME
|
|
information is removed upon uninstall in the case special
|
|
subkeys/ values are added to the <.Extension> or
|
|
<CLSID\GUID> keys in the registry via the Registry table.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 chetanp bug 6179 - We now remove the extension only if the
|
|
corr. progid has no more shell commands left. This
|
|
allows for multiple applications to share extensions.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 chetanp bug 6191 - check MsiAdvertiseScript dwFlags for
|
|
validity. We now make sure that the bits passed in are
|
|
from the enum tagSCRIPTFLAGS.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 cgouge Added ICE25, bug 6018. Validates merge module
|
|
dependencies and exclusions. ICE25 shares most of its code
|
|
with M3COM, so src\tools\common is now on the
|
|
dependency list for msiice.dll.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 davidmck Perf improvements to version checking. We now get
|
|
both the file version and language information at the
|
|
same time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 t-caroln Fixed bug 6189 -- Validation. Formatted and
|
|
KeyFormatted are transparent to Darwin, so made it so. Now
|
|
Template, Formatted, and KeyFormatted all work as
|
|
KeyFormatted (except Template has the additional [1] in
|
|
integer property specification). KeyFormatted has
|
|
not been removed though to maintain backwards
|
|
compatibility. Formatted originally was a subset of
|
|
KeyFormatted and now equates to KeyFormatted. All instances of
|
|
KeyFormatted in _Validation table have been changed
|
|
to use Formatted.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 t-caroln Fixed bug 5799, crash w/ runscrpt.exe with the
|
|
following : runscrpt.exe showmsi.vbs
|
|
ListScript(testtran.aas) where testtran.aas is an invalid filename. Now
|
|
the CScriptView and CScriptDatabase classes handle the
|
|
error properly.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 tracyf Fixed bug 5382. We were having problems when
|
|
browsing from a volume that supports long filenames, to one
|
|
that supports only short names.
|
|
|
|
98-07-23 tracyf Fixed bug 5393. We now do better error checking
|
|
when attempting to write records to the execution and
|
|
rollback scripts.
|
|
|
|
98-07-22 andrewh 6187 - Shortcuts were removed when changing from
|
|
install local to advertised on NT5 (or IE4.01sp1 desktop
|
|
update).
|
|
|
|
98-07-22 t-caroln Fixed bug 6183: MsiVal not work correctly for
|
|
sequence validation. A query would always fail so I fixed
|
|
it to validate correctly. This pretty much turned
|
|
off the action must come before dependent action
|
|
validation. Also fixed up some of the entries in the
|
|
_Sequence table.
|
|
|
|
98-07-22 t-caroln Fixed bug 6021 --> Standard Dialog validation.
|
|
ICE20. Due to a fix to 5220, the ICE had to be updated
|
|
to handle ErrorIcon control correctly. It was also
|
|
made to look for the required names of the Error
|
|
buttons on the ErrorDialog.
|
|
|
|
98-07-22 malcolmh Fixed bug 5781: AD: Darwin returns 1610
|
|
(Configuration error) when it fails to establish connection to
|
|
the source
|
|
|
|
98-07-22 malcolmh Fixed bug 6123: 4127c: some dialogs still not
|
|
localized.
|
|
|
|
98-07-22 malcolmh Fixed bug 3799: Make sure all environment variables
|
|
are expanded in the context of the user
|
|
|
|
98-07-22 davidmck Fixed bug 6029 - We were hogging CPU cycles by
|
|
calling GetTickCount repeatedly if the selection manager
|
|
wasn't initialized. Now we kill the timer for
|
|
background costing for the window we are in if the selection
|
|
manager is not ready.
|
|
|
|
98-07-22 mattwe Bug #6146: We didn't have ALLUSERS set for
|
|
instmsi/copymsi, and the Registry stuff went to the
|
|
wrong place.
|
|
|
|
98-07-21 chetanp bug 6062 - we no longer advertise Type Libraries in
|
|
Darwin. The RegisterTypeLibraries action has been
|
|
removed from the AdvtExecuteSequence table. Darwin will
|
|
now ignore this action if encountered in the
|
|
AdvtExecuteSequence table (for older databases).
|
|
|
|
98-07-21 chetanp bug 6109 - we now support SFN|LFN syntax in the
|
|
IniLocator table.
|
|
|
|
98-07-21 t-caroln Fixed bug 6137. Added
|
|
msiTransformValidationUpgradeCode enum value to type library.

98-07-20 mattwe Bug #6126: removed /regserver calls from msiinst
|
|
on Win9X
|
|
|
|
98-07-20 mattwe Bug #4505: BackupFile without removing original
|
|
file now copies the backup file over the original
|
|
during rollback. This allows you to modify the
|
|
original, and have it restored during rollback.
|
|
This is currently only used by UpdateEnvironment
|
|
on Win9X.
|
|
|
|
98-07-18 johndelo Bug 6131: New release directory: ToolsW
|
|
to hold Unicode builds of the tools on both platforms.
|
|
TestDb contains ANSI customactions on x86, Unicode on Alpha
|
|
|
|
98-07-17 malcolmh Fixed bug 6112: Assert in Execute.cpp during Patch
|
|

|
|
|
|
98-07-17 malcolmh Fixed bug 6119: MsiGetFeatureInfo(hProduct,
|
|
APIProduct.FeatureID(), &iAttribute, 0, 0, 0, 0) should
|
|
return 0. It returns:87
|
|
|
|
98-07-16 mattwe Bug #6115 - for some reason an impersonated reboot
|
|
was failing to get a process token. We had a call
|
|
to EnableReboot, and it works now.
|
|
|
|
Bug #5828, #5878 - Added a timeout on the
|
|
WaitForService in case something goes really wacky.
|
|
|
|
98-07-16 chetanp bug 6084 - removed UpdateResource functionality
|
|
|

-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.4316
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-07-15 mattwe Added new instmsi/copymsi. This is still a self
|
|
extracting EXE, but has a radically different dance
|
|
in the middle.
|
|
|
|
NT requires either an admin user, *or* a pre-existing
|
|
Darwin install on the system.
|
|
|
|
Bug #4725: New registry key added for Hydra.
|
|
Bug #4891: Now uses /qb+ to let Darwin determine
|
|
success/failure of installation.
|
|
Bug #5243: Added EditFlags to avoid packages being
|
|
listed in the recent documents.
|
|
Bug #5279: Registers an AppPath on Win95/98 to allow
|
|
running msiexec from the command line without a
|
|
path setting.
|
|
Bug #5402: LaunchConditions prevent install on NT 3.51
|
|
Bug #5906: LaunchConditions prevent install on NT 5.0
|
|
Note: You can set the FORCE_MSI_UPGRADE_NT5
|
|
environment variable to any value to override this
|
|
in InstMsi.
|
|
CopyMsi overrides automatically.
|
|
|
|
MsiFiler has been added to the makefile, to get in
|
|
file versions and sizes dynamically.
|
|
|
|
%darwin%/data/msimsi has been added to the project with
|
|
the generic instmsi/copymsi database.
|
|
|
|
TESTING: copymsi and instmsi should look externally
|
|
the same.
|
|
|
|
98-07-14 t-caroln Fixed bug 6064 in evalcom. Left out a check for
|
|
ERROR_SUCCESS. Now msival2 {database} {evaludation
|
|
file} -i ICEX:ICEY:ICEZ works correctly.
|
|
|
|
98-07-14 t-caroln Validation. Fixed bugs 6071 and 6072. Validation
|
|
was allowing || pipes (note, the error was in the
|
|
validation parser used to pass the SFN or LFN to the
|
|
global filename validator). Now it errors with more than
|
|
one pipe. Also fixed the path validation. Due to
|
|
the consolidation of code, it would report AnyPath's
|
|
as invalid if they contained a property.
|
|
|
|
98-07-14 tracyf Fixed bug 5482: we now display the "Files in use"
|
|
dialog, if appropriate, in BasicUI mode.
|
|
|
|
98-07-14 t-caroln Added a new tool --> MsiDlgs.exe. This is only
|
|
built if you specify the msidlgs target. It is not built
|
|
with all in the makefile. The msidlgs.exe tool
|
|
displays the various dialog and message box resources in
|
|
msi.dll. It can be used for viewing various
|
|
localized versions of the dialogs (based off of the localized
|
|
strings). Syntax for the tool is msidlgs.exe
|
|
{msi.dll} {langId}. For example, for US English, run
|
|
msidlgs.exe %DARWIN%\build\debug\msi.dll 1033. For
|
|
German, try msidlgs %DARWIN%\build\debug\msi.dll 1031

|
|
98-07-10 eugend In response to bug # 5220, I've changed the look of
|
|
the ErrorDialog in
|
|
Template & Testdb.msi. I've replaced the Picture
|
|
control (of Bitmap type),
|
|
with ErrorIcon of Icon type. If this particular
|
|
control is present on the ErrorDialog
|
|
(it HAS to have the ErrorIcon name and to be of Icon
|
|
type), the handler got
|
|
the new functionality to display the following
|
|
- IDI_ERROR (formerly IDI_HAND) in response to
|
|
messages of imtFatalExit
|
|
type sent to the handler.
|
|
- IDI_WARNING (formerly IDI_EXCLAMATION) in response
|
|
to imtError and
|
|
imtWarning message types.
|
|
- IDI_INFORMATION (formerly IDI_ASTERISK) in response
|
|
to
|
|
imtOutOfDiskSpace and imtUser message types.
|
|
|
|
In order to further enhance the message box look,
|
|
when we display the icons,
|
|
we play as well the proper sonds.
|
|
|
|
Please note, that if the ErrorIcon control of Icon
|
|
type is not present, no icon
|
|
will get displayed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-07-10 t-caroln Fixed bug 6021, standard dialog validator. (For
|
|
FilesInUse, DiskCost, Error (as specified by the
|
|
ErrorDialog property), Cancel as well as coverage of the
|
|
FatalError, UserExit, Exit sequence numbers).
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
98-07-10 malcolmh Fixed bug 5864: We now have an event log on Win9X.
|
|
It's %TEMP%\msievent.log. If we would've written to
|
|
the real event log on NT then we write to this file on
|
|
Win9X. If we fail to write to it then we delete it
|
|
and try again.

|
98-07-10 cgouge VALIDATION: New ICE #23 - Bug 6017. ICE 23 validates

98-07-10 mattwe Added the ability to set an alternative source directory
|
|
for msifiler. This allows you to get file sizes/versions
|
|
from a swamp type directory, instead of having a
|
|
distribution image. (For instmsi/copymsi primarily.)
|
|
|
|
98-07-10 tracyf In response to bug 3495, A new property is now written to
|
|
the Admin property stream: IsAdminPackage. This property
|
|
will be available and set to a value of "1" when running
|
|
from a package that was created by an Admin installation.
|
|
|
|
98-07-10 malcolmh Fixed bug 5993: Cannot invoke a patch from a path
|

|
|
|
|
98-07-10 malcolmh Fixed bug 5171: reboot during (after) managed app
|
|
install with full UI not using elevated privs.
|
|
|
|
Reboot is again a method of the server to allow
|
|
managed apps to reboot even when the user is not allowed
|
|
to.
|
|
|
|
98-07-09 johndelo Made provision for localized string resources.
|
|
Directory for localized .res files: DARWIN\SRC\INTL
|
|
German translation of all strings, but not final strings.
|
|
French and Arabic only partially translated for test.
|
|
Still need to deal with right-to-left switching.
|

|
98-07-09 t-caroln Fixed bug 6005 -- Validation. Version string
|
|
validation failed on 99.99.9999.9999. Now works (last 9999
|
|

|
|
|
|
98-07-09 davidmck Fixed bug 5407 - avoiding powerdown when doing an
|
|
install. We have a hidden window to handle powerdown
|
|
queries. This may cause some windowing oddities, so be
|
|
on the lookout for such issues.
|

98-07-09 t-caroln Fixed bug 4107 -- setting and getting of a FILETIME
|
|
property from the summary information stream. Now
|
|
when setting, properly converts from Variant to System
|
|
to Local to File. When retrieving, converts from

|
98-07-08 malcolmh Fixed transform bugs:
|
|
|
|
5170: Need to pin "secure" transforms on NT5
|
|
5886: If the transforms list is preceded by @ and
|
|
multiple transforms are used then only the first is
|
|
found at the source during first-run
|
|
5887: First-run doesn't respect TRANSFORMSATSOURCE
|
|
property
|
|
5888: Specifying storage transform +
|
|
TRANSFORMSATSOURCE property causes storage transform to
|
|
be ignored during maintenance mode
|
|
5901: First-run doesn't respect TRANSFORMSATSOURCE
|
|
policy
|
|
|
|
We now have a new kind of transform: the secure
|
|
transform. It's indicated by the "|" at the front of the
|
|
transform list. There's also a policy value
|
|
"TransformsSecure" and a property "TRANSFORMSSECURE" that can
|
|
be used to trigger secure transforms. We will pin
|
|
any transform marked as secure so that it stays in the
|
|
client-side cache.
|
|
|

|
|
CMsiVolume::SetUNCServer
|
|
|
|
98-07-08 davidmck Changes MsiEnumClients internal code. This shouldn't
|
|
affect how it works on the outside, but might, so
|
|
the API should be tested. This change was made so that
|
|
for calls internally, we'll keep the key opened and
|
|
saves a bit of time.
|
|
|
|
98-07-08 malcolmh Fixed bug IMsiServer::SetLastUsedSource fails when
|
|
called while an install is in progress for a different
|
|
user.
|
|
|
|
98-07-07 malcolmh Fixed bug 5959. crash in msi.dll running deferred CA

|
|
|
|
98-07-07 malcolmh Fixed (again) bug 3988. Local caching path should
|
|
include product code or something unique per product.
|
|
|
|
We now correctly append the product code to the
|
|
cached path on Win9X and for machine installs.
|
|
|
|
98-07-07 chetanp bug 5957 - we now allow reg types other than REG_SZ
|
|
to be written as default values. This was previously
|
|
explicitly disallowed since it fails on Win95. So
|
|
now this will work on WinNT and Win98 but fail on Win95
|
|
(as the Win API call will fail).
|
|
|
|
98-07-07 t-caroln Fixed bug 3589. For temporary databases (databases
|
|
w/out input storage), we mark any created columns as
|
|
temporary by default. Formerly we were allowing
|
|
persistent columns in temporary databases.
|
|
|
|
98-07-07 andrewh 5955 - Assert before bringing up Insert your CD
|
|
dialog. Assert fixed, it was using GetSize on a
|
|
tempbuffer for string length instead of a strlen call.
|
|
|
|
98-07-07 bench Fixed bug 3632 (again): when an error occurs and
|
|
logging is not already enabled, a dynamic log is
|
|
created. The latest fix is to turn on logging for just
|
|
errors and warnings, instead of all log modes.
|
|
|
|
98-07-07 bench Fixed bug 5959: self-reg errors are now ship errors,

98-07-07 tracyf For bug 2721, We now honor the "NoDrives" policy, under the key
|
|
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer".
|
|
The number stored under the "NoDrives" value is treate as a 26-bit
|
|
array, one bit for each drive (i.e. bit 0 = drive A, bit 1 = drive B,
|
|
etc). For any bit that's set, we now hide that drive from the user
|
|
in the Browse dialog, and prevent that drive from being selected
|
|
as the root volume for TARGETDIR. The one exception is that if
|
|
ALL local fixed drives are disabled, TARGETDIR will still default
|
|
to the drive containing the Windows directory (regardless of
|
|
whether that drive is disabled), and thus that drive will also
|
|
appear in the Browse dialog.

|
98-07-03 t-caroln Fixed bug -- 5087 dealing with the cancel button
|
|
during an MsiSpy install. On the action dialog,
|
|
clicking cancel did not cause the install to cancel. The
|
|
reason was not internal Darwin code, but a mis-authored
|
|
package. The ControlEvent for this cancel button
|
|
was missing!! And courtesy of Malcolhm's suggestion,
|
|
ICE17 caught this error as well. Fixed by adding the
|
|
ControlEvent for the Cancel button on the
|
|
ActionDialog.
|
|

|
98-07-02 t-caroln VALIDATION -- new ICEs #21, 22. ICE21 validates

|
|
and Component_ referenced in the PublishComponent
|
|
table is an actual mapping listed in the
|
|
FeatureComponents table.
|
|
|
|
98-07-02 chetanp fixed bug 5458 - We now prevent an older component
|
|
(lesser keyfile) from overwriting an already DARWIN
|
|
installed newer component (implying, if the file exists
|
|
without having being installed by darwin - we go
|
|
ahead and install the component irrespective of the
|
|
version - since we cannot trust the previous install to
|
|
be complete/ exact).
|
|
|
|
98-07-02 t-caroln Fixed bugs 4335 and 5913. Re-wrote
|
|
CMsiView::Modify. Delete and Update can now be called after Insert
|
|

98-06-29 malcolmh Fixed bugs 5847, 5856, 5857, 5811. Fixed a bunch of
|
|
API call that didn't allow a null buffer to be
|
|
specified in conjuction with a non-null buffer count
|
|
parameter. Ex: MsiDoThis(szProduct, 0, &pcchBuf). This call
|
|
would typically be followed by a call like
|
|
MsiDoThis(szProduct, szBuffer, &pcchBuf)
|
|
|
|
98-06-29 malcolmh Fixed bug 4983: Suggestion: Could MsiZap add a

98-06-29 chetanp bug 5858 - fixed darwin to NOT ignore assigned
|
|
transforms at first run
|
|
|
|
98-06-29 bench Bugs 5860 and 5862: several changes to improve
|
|
logging and diagnostic output:
|
|
|
|
1) a registry value can be used to turn on logging. the value is:
|
|
|
|
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
|
|
|
|
Name: Logging Value: REG_SZ, log mode ("ifpmcuewar")
|
|
|
|
2) new log mode: 'v' for "verbose". Currently this log mode
|
|
triggers all debug output to be written to the log, in
|
|
both ship and debug Darwin. More information will be written
|
|
in the future when this mode is set.
|
|
|
|
3) a registry value can be used to switch on different levels
|
|
of debug output in ship or debug Darwin. the value is:
|
|
|
|
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
|
|
|
|
Name: Debug Value: REG_DWORD
|
|
|
|
value & 0x1: debug output is turned on
|

(default is off for ship, on for debug)
|
|
value & 0x2: "verbose" debug output is turned on
|

|
|
named with the product code of the product.
|

|
98-06-27 malcolmh Bug 5658: We now have a policy value for logging.
|
|
Set the Logging value to any combination of our log
|
|

|
|
Command-line log flag or MsiEnableLog both override
|
|
this policy.
|
|
|
|
98-06-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 4042: Calling MsiGetComponentPath on a
|
|
registry keypath no longers returns a 50+ offset for RFS
|
|
keys.
|
|
|
|
98-06-26 chetanp fixed bug 5699 - we now place the cached icons/
|
|
transforms under the APPDATA folder on Win9x as well, if
|
|
present. This fixes roaming scenarios where the
|
|
APPDATA folder is defined. If the folder is not present,
|
|
we do what we always did - place it under the Windows
|
|
folder.
|
|
|
|
98-06-26 tracyf The following new properties have been defined:
|
|
|
|
PRIMARYFOLDER:
|
|
A global property that allows the author to designate
|
|
a "primary" folder for the installation. The value
|
|
given to this property must be the key name of a
|
|
directory record found in the Directory table. The
|
|
installer will use the resolved path of this folder to
|
|
determine the volume used when setting values for the
|
|
PrimaryVolumePath, PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable,
|
|
PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired, and PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining
|
|
properties.
|
|
|
|
PrimaryVolumePath:
|
|
The Installer sets the value of this property to the
|
|
path of the volume designated by the PRIMARYFOLDER
|
|
property. For example, if the folder referenced by
|
|
PRIMARYFOLDER resolves to "D:\ProgramFiles",
|
|
PrimaryVolumePath will be set to "D:"
|
|
|
|
PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable:
|
|
The Installer sets the value of this property to a
|
|
string representing the total number of bytes
|
|
available, in units of 512, on the volume referenced by the
|
|
PrimaryVolumePath property. For example, if
|
|
PrimaryVolumePath is set to "D:", and volume D: has
|
|
446,134,272 bytes free, PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable will be set
|
|
to 871356. Note: if this value is to be displayed
|
|
within a static Text control, the new FormatSize style bit
|
|
(see below) can be used on the control to automatically format
|
|
and label this number in units of KB, MB, or GB as appropriate.
|
|
This goes for the other properties below as well.
|
|
|
|
PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired:
|
|
The Installer sets the value of this property to a
|
|
string representing the total number of bytes required
|
|
by all currently selected features on the volume
|
|
referenced by the PrimaryVolumePath property. As with
|
|
the PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable property, this number
|
|
is expressed in units of 512 bytes.
|
|
|
|
PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining:
|
|
The Installer sets the value of this property to a
|
|
string representing the total number of bytes that
|
|
would be remaining on the volume referenced by the
|
|
PrimaryVolumePath property, if all the currently selected
|
|
features were to be installed. As with the
|
|
PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable property, this number is expressed
|
|
in units of 512 bytes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following new Control style bit has been defined:
|
|
|
|
FormatSize Control Style Bit:
|
|
Decimal: 524288
|
|
Hex: 0x00080000
|
|
If this bit is set for a static text control, the
|
|
control will automatically attempt to format the
|
|
displayed text as a number representing a count of bytes.
|
|
For proper formatting, the control's text must be set
|
|
to a string representing a number expressed in units
|
|
of 512 bytes. The displayed value will then be
|
|
formatted in terms of kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or
|
|
gigabytes (GB), and displayed with the appropriate
|
|
string representing the units
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of the formatting resulting from
|
|
use of the FormatSize style bit:
|
|
Assume the text of a static Text control is defined
|
|
in the Control table to be
|
|
[PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired]. At runtime, the installer will resolve this
|
|
property to the total number of bytes required for the
|
|
install, in units of 512. If the total bytes required
|
|
resolved to, say, 18,336,768, the value for the
|
|
PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired property would be set to
|
|
"35814" (18336768 / 512), and the number would be displayed
|
|
in the control as "17MB".
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
98-06-25 malcolmh Fixed bug 5619: Performance:MsiUseFeature should be

|
|
ProgIds and descriptions have been changed:
|
|
WindowsInstaller.Application & WindowsInstaller.Debug
|
|
Typelib name and version have changed:

|
WindowsInstaller = Microsoft Windows Installer 1.0 Object Library
|
|
Internal automation version also changed to 1.0
|
|
Enumerations now all begin with "msi".
|
|
Following current convention, help strings have been

|
|
For current values, use typelib in Msi.DLL or
|
|
consult the end of the source file: AutoApi.cpp.
|
|
|
|
98-06-25 t-caroln Fixed bug 5841, Validation. In order to ensure all

98-06-24 malcolmh Fixed bug 5776: Network resource dialog has an
|
|
accelerator key that fails to work.
|
|
|

98-06-24 malcolmh Fixed bug 5716: Should notify the shell whenever

98-06-24 malcolmh Fixed bug 3799: Make sure all environment variables
|

|
|
98-06-24 chetanp bug 4299, 4330 fixed. - we now have the additional
|
|
restriction that the RegisterProgIdInfo,
|
|
RegisterMIMEInfo are after the RegisterClassInfo and the
|
|
RegisterExtensionInfo actions and the UnregisterProgIdInfo,
|
|
UnregisterMIMEInfo are after the UnregisterClassInfo
|
|
and the UnregisterExtensionInfo actions. This is in
|
|
accordance with the current recommended sequence.

Release 0.10.00.4224
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-06-24 bench Patches created by a build prior to 4224 will not
|
|
work with 4224 and beyond. All patches must be
|
|
recreated. This incompatibility is caused by a change in
|
|
the file format for patch files.
|
|
|
|
98-06-23 t-caroln Fixed bug 5812 -- Tools now use _stprintf (compiles
|
|
to sprintf and wsprintf depending on UNICODE).
|
|
wsprintf only works up to 1024 bytes, which could fail to
|
|
copy everything for some tools. Tools affected were:
|
|
msialter, msidb, msidiff, msifiler, msiinfo,
|
|
msimerg, msitran, msival, and msival2.
|
|
|
|
98-06-23 t-caroln Fixed bug 5647 -- As per chetan's fix for 4512,
|
|
AnyPath can be LFN (SPN|LPN). Validation now handles
|
|
this case.
|
|
|
|
98-06-23 t-caroln Fixed bug 4010 -- msitran -v option not work when
|
|
transforming an emptydb to a fulldb. This actually
|
|
wasn't a "real" error, but if the user used the fulldb
|
|
as the db in the msitran -v argument list, then we
|
|
wouldn't handle it correctly (# primary keys and columns
|
|
would double). Now, it is handled correctly.
|
|
However, the emptydb should have been used as the base.
|
|
|
|
98-06-19 t-caroln New ICE's -- 17 (bug 5773), 18(sort of bug 3317), 19
|
|
(bug 3317)
|
|
Updated ICE02 to include the ODBCDataSource table
|
|

|
|
|
|
ICE17 -- validates ControlType dependencies in the
|
|
Control table for the Bitmap, Icon, ListBox,
|
|
ListView, ComboBox, RadioButtonGroup, and PushButton control

|
|
ICE18 -- validates KeyPath column of Component table
|
|
if KeyPath is NULL (Directory refernce).
|
|
ICE19 -- validates advertising.
|
|
Class,TypeLib,Extension,PublishComponent,Shortcut tables must reference
|
|
Components with a ComponentId. All but the shortcut
|
|
table must reference components with File KeyPaths.
|
|
The Shortcut can also reference a Directory KeyPath.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-06-19 mattwe 5635: Improved location of autoexec.bat for UpdateEnvironment
|
|
on Win95. You can use WIN95_ENVIRONMENT_TEST to override
|
|
our detection. We look first to the windows volume, then
|
|
search all fixed disks for config.sys, and lastly fall back
|
|
to the windows volume. There's more that can be done, but
|
|
for very little return.
|
|
|
|
5769: Fixed a caching problem with the path object.
|
|
If you call GetFilePath with a file, change some other part of
|
|
the path, and then call with the same file, you will get
|
|
spurious results. This affects nearly every path method.
|
|
|
|
98-06-19 davidmck Made a number of performance improvements. The
|
|
trickiest is that we try to estimate the cost of the
|
|
script and only compute the exact cost if we really need
|
|
to.
|
|
The definition of "really need to" is when the
|
|
install without the script will fit, but the install with
|
|
the maximum script for the database does not. Testing
|
|
in cases where we are near the edge would be
|
|
interesting.
|
|
Our "exact" script cost is also an estimate, but a
|
|
more precise estimate than our guess, so you can
|
|
probably still get some border cases where we don't install
|
|
and you might have just enough space, but likely you
|
|
couldn't use the product then.
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 bench Bug 5752: We now return
|
|
ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_VERSION from MsiAdvertiseScript and
|
|
MsiProcessAdvertiseScript when the script passed in has an unsupported
|
|
script version.
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 malcolmh Fixed bug 5748: AF in istring.cpp line 1123
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 mattwe 5729: You can now put environment variables on the
|
|
command line again, with %VAR=Foo. A previous
|
|
bug was to assure that all properties started with
|
|
an alphanumeric character, and busted this.
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 malcolmh Fixed bugs 5742. We now assert if you don't declare
|
|
your DLL custom action __stdcall.
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 mattwe 5629 Fixed a debug only crash with long command lines.
|
|
We now resize the buffer on the fly for the offending
|
|
debug string. However, it will still truncate at 1024
|
|
character and give slightly wacky output.
|
|
|
|
Increased the maximum length for a property value to
|
|
1024 characters, and cleaned up the code to ease
|
|
increasing it further if needed.
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 andrewh 5750, Couldn't uninstall office9, Assert "Cursor not
|
|
reset", new error checking caught a case of a cursor
|
|
being used before the previous user reset it
|
|
|
|
5735: CustomAction cannot reference File table on uninstall,
|
|
this fix affects FormatText so it can now reference files in
|
|
components whose states are either not changing or are
|
|
scheduled for removal. The author should condition
|
|
CustomActions, author components appropirately to not
|
|
use a file after it has been deleted.
|
|
|
|
5746,5747 - Don't list msiexec in the FilesInUse
|
|
list, list the correct file that is in use in the log.
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 mattwe Bug 4278: MoveFile no now longer fails if the full
|
|
file attributes cannot succesfully be copied. This
|
|
typical case is that the file has security such that
|
|
we can't access them.
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 bench Bug 5678: as values in the RunOnce key must have
|
|
names < 32 characters, we no longer use the product name
|
|
in this field. Rather, the product code is
|
|
compressed and truncated to provide an almost-unique name
|
|
that is < 32 characters.
|
|
|
|
98-06-18 bench Bug 5644: add the ability to detect products in a
|
|
range of versions using the Upgrade table and the
|
|
FindRelatedProducts action. Previously, you could only
|
|
use the Upgrade table to detect a product whose version
|
|
is greater than or less than a single version. Now,
|
|
you may supply a range of version of the syntax
|
|
"X.X.X.X:X.X.X.X" where the ':' seperates the two. The
|
|
Operator column value is interpreted differently when
|
|
this syntax is found. Now, adding a 2 to the value
|
|
means the lower version is inclusive, and adding a 4
|
|
means the upper version is inclusive. The two
|
|
versions are exclusive by default.
|
|

-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.4218
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-06-17 t-caroln Added MsiDefs.h to the Headers target. This copies
|
|
the file from the %DARWIN%\src\inc to the %COMMON%
|
|
folder in the build directory so that the tools can use
|
|
them. (%DARWIN%\src\inc is not an Include path for
|
|
the tools).
|
|
|
|
98-06-17 t-caroln Fixed bugs 5727, 5728 -- Validation. Validation was
|
|
returning the wrong error code (NotInSet) for
|
|
OverFlow and UnderFlow errors. Changed to return the
|
|
correct error codes.

|
|
trying to send messages to update progress
|
|
|
|
98-06-16 bench Fixed bug 5715: assert when patching run-from-source
|
|
install.
|
|
|
|
98-06-16 bench Changed the versions for all Darwin files, moving
|
|
the build number from the fourth field to the third.
|
|
This will allow future "letter" builds like 4127a to
|
|
be given a new version, like 0.28.4127.1.
|
|
|
|
98-06-16 tracyf Per bug 5685, the ReserveLocal and ReserveSource
|
|
columns of the ReserveCost table are now non-nullable.
|
|
Since the original schema was wrong (and outrageous
|
|
disk space calculations are the resullt if these
|
|
columns are left Null), a schema version change is not
|
|
called for.
|
|
|
|
98-06-16 tracyf In response to bug 5643, the disk cost values
|
|
displayed in the UI for features have been changed. The
|
|
values displayed now represent the total cost
|
|
attributable to the feature *after the install is complete*,
|
|
i.e. without taking rollback into account. For
|
|
example, in previous versions of Darwin, if a feature is
|
|
installed on first-run, and then the install is
|
|
launched into maintenance mode, the disk cost for that
|
|
feature would always show up as 0 if rollback is enabled,
|
|
regardless of whether the feature is selected for
|
|
removal or not. Now, the displayed disk cost will
|
|
reflect the disk space that will be freed up after the
|
|
removal is complete and the rollback files are removed.
|
|
|
|
98-06-15 bench Fixed bug 5705: the end dialog displayed when /q+ is
|
|
used contained the string "1: 32" using ship Darwin.
|
|
It now displays the error strings 32 or 33 from the
|
|
Error table correctly.
|
|
|
|
98-06-15 t-caroln Bug 4938 -- Validation. Updated the fix. The code
|
|
for CustomSource was commented out after this bug due
|
|
to its incorrect validation of nested install CAs.
|
|
I've uncommented the code and changed it to work
|
|
correctly for other CAs. The validation of the nested
|
|
install CAs is left to the custom validator (one of the
|
|
ice's).
|
|
|
|
98-06-12 t-caroln Fixed bug 4791 dealing with filename validation.
|
|
The filename validation code has been consolidated into
|
|
one function. Both Services and the internal
|
|
Validation code use it (thus preventing duplicate copies of
|
|
the same source code).
|
|
|
|
98-06-12 tracyf Fixed bug 5413. For child features in the
|
|
advertised state, when the parent changes from the Local state
|
|
to the Source (run from network) state, the child
|
|
feature(s) now also go the Source state. If the parent
|
|
is changed back to Local, the children will go back
|
|
to advertised.
|
|
|
|
98-06-12 tracyf Fixed bug 4787 - the FileName column of the
|
|
RemoveFile table has been fixed to properly accept
|
|
shortName|longName syntax.
|
|
|
|
98-06-11 t-caroln Bugs 5661, 5684. Validation.
|
|
5661 -- Version string validator works with
|
|
MergeModule tables and will work in any table provided you
|
|
have a Language column called "Language". This
|
|
maintains Darwin's versioned file scenario where all
|
|
versioned files must have a langauge.

98-06-10 tracyf Bug 4775: support for a new attribute bit has been
|
|
added to the Attributes column of the Feature table.
|
|
The description of the bit to be incorporated into
|
|
the help file is: "The 6th bit is the
|
|
ifrsNoUnsupportedAdvertise bit. If this bit is set for a particular
|
|
feature, advertising will be disabled for that feature
|
|
if the operationg system shell the product is being
|
|
installed on does not support Darwin descriptors".
|
|
|
|
98-06-09 bench Fixed bug 5616: upgrades or patches in which the
|
|
InstallExecuteSequence contained the InstallExecute,
|
|
RemoveOldProducts and InstallFinalize actions, in that
|
|
order, caused an assert and crash. This has been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
98-06-09 davidmck I changed how InstMsi copies the files to use
|
|
CopyFile rather than LZCopy. LZCopy was randomly failing on
|
|
some machines (Bug 5622) and we don't need it so
|
|
CopyFile seems better.
|
|
|
|
98-06-09 tracyf Fixed bug 4287. We now automatically retry network
|
|
failures once during file copying, before putting up
|
|
the retry dialog (during quiet installs, we retry
|
|
once before failing and rolling back). If the network
|
|
failure occurred while reading or writing an open
|
|
file, we also now close the file and re-open before
|
|
retrying.
|
|
|
|
98-06-09 bench Fixed bug 5598: "Unexpected Error 2203 running
|
|
merged nested install". This bug exposed the fact that
|
|
when caching the msi in %windows%\installer, we were
|
|
copying the temp copy of the msi from %temp% and not
|
|
from the source. The fix for this bug was to copy the
|
|
msi from the source instead.
|
|
|
|
98-06-08 malcolmh Fixed bug 2147: Incorporate Shell Support
|
|
independant of OLE support.
|
|
|
|
We have 2 new properties:
|
|
OLEAdvtSupport
|
|
ShellAdvtSupport
|
|
|
|
98-06-08 t-caroln Added a new target to the makefile -- msival2. This
|
|
builds msival2.msi, evalcom.dll, msival2.exe, and
|
|
darice.cub. I have also added msival2.msi to be
|
|
released in the Samples folder. It contains
|
|
conditionalized components. The evalcom.dll ANSI version is
|
|
installed on the Win9X systems and the UNICODE version is
|
|
installed on the Winnt systems.
|
|
|
|
98-06-08 bench Fixed bug 5604: the packages simple.msi,
|
|
minimum.msi, schema.msi and template.msi where all made
|
|
platform-independent by changing the suminfo property 7 from
|
|
"Intel;1033" to ";1033".

|
|
|
98-06-08 andrewh 5612 - Fix ship Network Resource dialog, the line to

|
causing us to display garbled characters in an Invalid
|
|

|
|
|
|
98-06-08 bench Fixed bug 5597: some errors (those generated
|
|
directly from the actions) where not using the error strings
|
|
from the Error table. They now do.
|
|
|
|
98-06-08 bench Fixed bug 5615: we now do not bind files (with
|
|
BindImage) that we do not install. Most likely files we
|
|
don't install because they have equal or newer
|
|
versions have already been bound, so this is a slight
|
|
performance gain.
|
|
|
|
98-06-05 t-caroln Validation bugs -- 5107, 5613. Fixed. 5107 dealt
|
|
with removing obsolete test for '@' in Cabinet
|
|
category. 5613 was adding iveBadFormatted as a case for the
|
|
MapError function in the API.
|
|

|
stripped from admin packages, since the admin source is
|
|
always uncompressed. Now, the size of the package is
|
|
also reduced to reflect the missing streams. This code

|
|
longer uses the feature cache. This doesn't affect
|
|
any of the other MsiProvide* functions.
|
|
|
|
98-06-03 t-caroln Added -Z option to msival2.exe. When using this
|
|
option, you can ignore specifying the evaluation file as
|
|
the -Z means to use the latest darice.cub file which
|
|
is available off the Iceman website. Syntax is then
|
|
msival2.exe {database} -Z. Note, msival2.exe will
|
|
soon be released once evalcom.dll is ANSI enabled.
|
|
|
|
98-06-03 t-caroln Fixed bug 4035 which Validates Type 35 and 51

98-06-02 mattwe We now assert with a message when we have a /O
|

(old property format) in the command line.
|
|
It still continues to work if you ignore the assert,
|
|
but the tests and CAs *should* be up to date by now.
|
|
|
|
98-06-02 chetanp changed font version handling - we now allow font
|
|
version strings to be of a more generic form -
|
|
[text]<number>[<dot> OR colon>]<number>[<semicolon> OR <comma> OR <space> OR <tab>][text]
|
|
|
|
98-06-02 tracyf The Installer now displays a progress bar during the
|
|
final costing/script compilation phase. Previously,
|
|
an empty progress bar would sit on the screen for up
|
|
to 2-3 minutes (or longer) before the actual script
|
|
execution begins. Now, the progress bar will run to
|
|
completion, indicating the end of the preliminary
|
|
phase, and then will start again for script execution.
|
|
In avoid misleading the user, a new ScriptInProgress
|
|
ControlEvent has been added, which allows a special
|
|
explanatory string to be displayed during the first
|
|
progress bar. The same text control in the
|
|
EventMapping table that subscribes to the TimeRemaining
|
|
ControlEvent should also subscribe to the ScriptInProgress
|
|
ControlEvent, with "ScriptInProgress" as the name of
|
|
both the Event and the Attribute. In addition, the
|
|
string to be displayed should be added to the UIText
|
|
table, also with the name "ScriptInProgress". For
|
|
instance, in the template MSI, this string was added with
|
|
the text "Gathering required information...".
|
|
|
|
If executing with Basic UI, the "ScriptInProgress" string
|
|
is pulled from the error table (new error string 21), and
|
|
is automatically displayed at the appropriate time. For
|
|
existing databases, this new error string should be added
|
|
(simply no string will be displayed if it is not found).
|
|
|
|
98-06-02 tracyf Fixed a number of bugs related to the "time
|
|
remaining" indicator on the progress dialog. First, while
|
|
more than 60 seconds are estimated to remain for the
|
|
install, the "time remaining" now updates every 15
|
|
seconds, and displays only "xx minutes". Once the time
|
|
remaining drops below 60 seconds, the display updates
|
|
every second, and displays only "xx seconds". Note that
|
|
for this to display properly during full UI, the TimeRemaining
|
|
string in the UIText table needs to modified in existing
|
|
databases, to this form: "Time remaining: {[1] minutes }{[2] seconds}"
|
|
(this modification has been made in the standard template MSI).
|
|
|
|
Also, other problems, such as negative time values, and time
|
|
estimates becoming skewed when alerts are displayed, have been
|
|
fixed.

98-06-01 malcolmh Fixed bug 5536: MsiGetComponentPath doesn't handle
|
|
the case when lpPathBuf==0 and pcchPathBuf != 0
|
|
|
|
98-06-01 t-caroln Fixed bug 5553. This bug was caused by the fix for
|
|
bug 5534. Now we use a class to ensure that the View
|
|
and Stream are released in the correct order (View
|
|
must be last). Also this encapsulates all of the
|
|
releasing that has to be done. All of this occured in
|
|
the FindAndRunAction code and was related to custom
|
|
actions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-05-29 malcolmh Fixed bugs:
|
|
|
|
3927 Multiple but incompatible flags are valid for
|
|
Version checking on transforms
|
|
3945 need a new transform validation constant:
|
|
itvUpgrade
|
|
|
|
98-05-29 bench Fixed bug 5310: added a new bit for the
|
|
Upgrade.Operator column: DetectOnly. Adding this value (32) to
|
|
your operator column value will cause the detection in
|
|
FindRelatedProducts to kick in, but will disable any
|
|
action taken by the PreventInstall or
|
|
RemoveExistingProducts actions.
|
|
|
|
98-05-28 malcolmh Fixed bug 5094: Assert when system environment
|
|
variable is blank.
|
|
|
|
We now zap any blank environment variable entries.
|
|
|
|
98-05-28 eugend Two bug fixes in the handler changed the UI's
|
|
functionality:
|
|
- bug # 5399: disabled Text controls were displaying
|
|
their text as normal text.
|
|
I've changed this as to display the text grayed-out.
|
|
- bug # 4783: the Text control wasn't able to display
|
|
'&', but was displaying then
|
|
next character underscored. I've added the NoPrefix
|
|
Text control style
|
|
(hex value = 0x20000, decimal = 131072). If present,
|
|
the text control displays
|
|
the '&' character "as is".
|
|
|
|
98-05-28 malcolmh Fixed bug 3926: MsiTran needs arguments for setting
|
|
flags for validation of language, product and
|
|
platform
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-05-28 malcolmh Fixed bugs:
|
|
|
|
3983: Asserts when disconnected from network
|
|
4538: Back command makes Darwin exit without alarm
|
|
messages when network connection is broken
|
|
|
|
We now always temporarily cache the MSI, whereas we
|
|
used to cache only when installing from removable
|
|
media.
|
|
|
|
98-05-28 bench Fixed bug 5515: a new property was added:
|
|
ReplacedInUseFiles. This property is set in the InstallExecute
|
|
and InstallFinalize actions whenever we install over
|
|
an existing file that is in-use.
|
|
|
|
98-05-28 tracyf Added a new argument to the record fields for the
|
|
MsiProcessMessage API, which now allows additional ticks to
|
|
be added to the install progress bar (by
|
|
CustomActions, for instance). The new argument will be
|
|
documented in the help file soon, but until then, here are
|
|
field definitions when eMessageType is specified as
|
|
INSTALLMESSAGE_Progress:
|
|
|
|
Field 1: Subclass - this field determines the type,
|
|
or subclass, of progress message being sent. The
|
|
content of the remaining fields is dependent on the
|
|
subclass type, as shown below. The allowable values in
|
|
field 1 are:
|
|
[0] - MasterReset - resets the progress bar, sets
|
|
the total number of expected progress ticks
|
|
[1] - ActionInfo - provides information related to
|
|
progress messages to be sent by the current action
|
|
[2] - ProgressReport - increments the progress bar
|
|
[3] - ProgressAddition - allows an action (such as a
|
|
CustomAction) to add ticks to the overall expected
|
|
progress total.
|
|
|
|
Field 2: (Dependent on subclass type, as follows):
|
|
[if MasterReset] - the total number of expected
|
|
progress ticks for the whole progress bar
|
|
[if ActionInfo] - the "PerTick" value: the number of
|
|
ticks per ActionData message for the current action,
|
|
if no explicit ProgressReport
|
|
are being sent (see field 3 below). This field is
|
|
ignored otherwise.
|
|
[if ProgressReport] - the number of ticks by which
|
|
the progress bar is incremented
|
|
[if ProgressAddition] - the number of ticks to add to
|
|
the overall expected progress total
|
|
|
|
Field 3: (Dependent on subclass type, as follows):
|
|
[if MasterReset] - the direction to fill the progress
|
|
bar, one of two values:
|
|
[0] - forward (left to right)
|
|
[1] - backward (right to left)
|
|
[if ActionInfo] - the progress "type": one of two
|
|
values:
|
|
[0] The current action will send explicit
|
|
ProgressReport messages
|
|
[1] Increment the progress bar by the "PerTick"
|
|
value (see Field 2) each time an ActionData message
|
|
is sent
|
|
[if ProgressReport] - Unused
|
|
[if ProgressAddition] -Unused
|
|
|
|
98-05-27 bench Fixed bug 5305: several upgrade actions have been
|
|
renamed to more closely resemble what they really do.
|
|
Note that the old action names will continue to be
|
|
supported indefinitely, but only the new names will be
|
|
documented. Specifically, the old and new action
|
|
names are:
|
|
|
|
BlockInstall --> PreventInstall
|
|
MigrateFeatureSettings --> MigrateFeatureStates
|
|
RemoveOldProducts --> RemoveExistingProducts
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-05-27 bench Fixed bug 5448: MsiCreateTransformSummaryInfo will not fail
|
|
if the ProductVersion property value is greater than 13
|
|
characters. We technically support any length product version,
|
|
as long as the first 3 fields contain 8 or fewer digits.
|
|
|
|
98-05-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 4985: We now support the log mode character
|
|
'*' which represents all log modes.
|
|
|
|
ex: msiexec /I foo.msi /L* log.txt
|
|
|
|
98-05-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 4517: SOURCEDIR should be a private
|
|
property
|
|
|
|
98-05-27 malcolmh Fixed bugs:
|
|
|
|
4441: MsiGetProductInfo should accept DD where a
|
|
ProductCode is required.
|
|
4442: MsiConfigureProduct should accept DD.
|
|
4443: MsiQueryProductState should accept DD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-05-27 malcolmh Fixed bug 3090: DARWIN, MsiAdvertiseProduct returns
|
|
error 12 if language id of package does not match the
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
Behavior is now:
|
|
|
|
- If i pass a specific language:
|
|
- if the pkg supports that language, use it
|
|
- if the pkg does not support that language, fail.
|
|
|
|
- If i pass null for the language argument:
|
|
- use the default language for that pkg

|
install such as Office), to help prevent problems when
|
|
installing or uninstalling with very little disk space
|

|
|
98-05-26 johndelo Component.ComponentId has now been restored to nullable,
|
|
in order to support removal of old versions, obsolete
|
|
files and reg entries, and temp files such as help indexes.
|
|
Components with no ID will not be registered and thus
|
|
cannot be used for advertising or when uninstall is needed.
|
|
|
|
98-05-26 mattwe We now invalidate the feature cache between
|
|
log-offs.
|
|
|
|
98-05-26 mattwe Synchronous custom actions now use the old
|
|
message pump to work around an OB1 bug.
|
|
(repro steps in #5519). We still need to
|
|
look at all this and get it right.
|
|
|
|
98-05-26 mattwe SCHEMA CHANGES:
|
|
IniFile.Directory_ has now been changed to
|
|
IniFile.DirProperty. Bugs #5250, #5354
|
|
|
|
Component.ComponentId is now nullable, per JohnDelo.
|
|
Validation fixes are in.
|
|
|
|
Class.AppId is now Class.AppId_. This is a foreign
|
|
key to the AppId table.
|
|
|
|
AppId table has been added, per Rob's specs.
|
|
Bug #5480.

This is being included in the unreleased 0.28 schema
|
|
changes. Full backwards compatibility to 0.27
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-05-26 bench Fixed bug 4451. We now support displaying an "End
|
|
Dialog" on success or failure in basic UI mode or
|
|
quiet mode. To enable this dialog, add + to the /q
|
|
option on the msiexec command line, or include a flag in
|
|
the INSTALLUI_LEVEL passed to MsiSetInternalUI. Note
|
|
that this dialog is not displayed when a reboot is
|
|
required. In quiet mode, we reboot automatically, in
|
|
basic UI mode, the "you need to reboot" dialog
|
|
replaces the end dialog.
|
|
|
|
98-05-22 t-caroln Fixed bugs 3077, 5005, and 5477 for validation.
|
|
|
|
98-05-21 chetanp bug 4792 - We now doubly refcount the key file of

98-05-20 bench Fixed bug 5378: We are now more strict about
|
|
multiple threads using the per-process global messaging
|
|
object at the same time. If more than one call is made
|
|
to initialize the message object, the second will fail
|
|
with ERROR_INSTALL_ALREADY_RUNNING. For example,
|
|
attempting to run two installs or an install and an
|
|
advertisment in the same process will not be allowed,
|
|
with the second install/advertisement failing.
|
|
|

98-05-20 malcolmh Fixed bug 4998: We now cache feature detection
|
|
information
|

98-05-20 malcolmh Fixed bug 5487: Darwin now works on NT5 builds <
|
|
1800.
|
|
|
|
98-05-20 bench Fixed bug 5476. ForceReboot now uses the product
|
|
code on the command line instead of the path to the
|
|
source msi if possible. This will happen in the
|
|
ForceReboot action is after RegisterProduct and
|
|
PublishProduct. As a result, we will not require the source to
|
|
be present to access the msi if the product is
|
|
registered before the reboot.
|
|
|
|
98-05-20 andrewh fixed 5491: ProvideComponent repair copies too much
|
|
when installstate_broken: its call to
|
|
MsiReinstallFeature would reinstall equal files, changed the
|
|
offending bit from REINSTALLMODE_FILEEQUALVERSION to
|
|
REINSTALLMODE_FILEOLDERVERSION
|
|
|
|
98-05-20 andrewh 5359: Raised the shell version required for Darwin
|
|
shortcut/descriptors to be the IE4.01SP1/Win98 shell
|
|
(4.72.3110).
|
|
|
|
98-05-20 davidmck When we open a docfile, we now see if it's open
|
|
across the network and if so, tell services not to let
|
|
the system powerdown.
|
|
Services keeps a count of the number of times it's
|
|
been called and will clear the thread state when the
|
|
counter gets back to its initial state again.
|
|
We also tell services not to power down when we're
|
|
actually running an insta..
|
|
|
|
98-05-19 t-caroln fixed bug 3331 -- added ice12. Validates the
|
|
circular references between components and files and
|
|
components and registry keys. Go to http://robmen2 and
|
|
click on ICEMAN to test it out.
|
|
|
|
98-05-19 malcolmh Fixed bug 5293. We have changed the cached MSI location
|
|
and the location where we store tranforms in the user
|
|
profile. We now use %WINDOWS%\Installer for per-machine
|
|
data and {UserAppData}\Microsoft\Installer for per-user
|
|
data.
|
|
|
|
As a consequence of this change, we have a slight
|
|
modification to our transform registration scheme. This
|
|
change has no implications for users of Darwin. If the
|
|
transform that we're registering is in a shell folder
|
|
then we'll replace the shell folder path with
|
|
"*ShellFolderId*", where the '*'s are literal. This is
|
|
to support roaming. For example, you might see a transform
|
|
registered as *26*Microsoft\Installer\1_2.mst. 26 is
|
|
the CSIDL for the user's Application Data folder.
|
|
|
|
We also now mark both of these folders as hidden,
|
|
and we mark transforms and icon files read-only.
|
|
|
|
MsiZap has been updated and will zap these new locations
|
|
in addition to the old ones.
|
|
|
|
98-05-19 t-caroln fixed bugs 5455, 5456. Required updates of
|
|
_Validation table to match help file.
|
|
|
|
98-05-19 chetanp to fix bug 5227 - needed to change the Progid table
|
|
schema. bumped up the database schema version to .28.
|
|
However we still support the older database
|
|
versions. Also the script file version remains unchanged.
|
|
|
|
98-05-18 bench Fixed bug 5191. We now reboot automatically when
|
|
necessary in a quiet mode install. In addition, the
|
|
"Do you want to reboot now" message was changed from
|
|
WARNING to USER. This means this question will no
|
|
longer begin with "Warning 1702".
|
|
|
|
98-05-18 bench Bug 5367: "All internal errors should only have OK
|
|
button". Before putting up an error message, we now
|
|
detect if and when we don't have a template string to
|
|
go with the error. If we do not, we restrict the
|
|
buttons displayed to just <OK>.
|
|
|
|
98-05-18 t-caroln fixed bug 3897 -- trivial. Also updated testcab's
|
|
validation table to match schema's except for the
|
|
following columns where they differ: Feature.Directory_,
|
|
Component.KeyPath, and File.File due to the old
|
|
naming conventions of the cabinets.
|
|
|
|
98-05-18 eugend In the fix to bug # 3028, I've modified
|
|
CMsiVolumeCostList, as to enable
|
|
authors to set the column widths. The column width
|
|
information can be
|
|
entered into the control's Text column, right after
|
|
the font specifications
|
|
(if any). This information can be entered as a
|
|
succession of positive
|
|
integers enclosed between curly braces. A maximum
|
|
number of 5 width
|
|
specificators will be taken into consideration.
|
|
Empty curly braces or {0}
|
|
will cause the respective columns to be hidden.
|
|
Reading the column width
|
|
specifiers will stop under the following
|
|
circumstances:
|
|
- a negative integer or a string that cannot be
|
|
converted into a positive
|
|
integer has been encountered.
|
|
- 5 width specifiers have been read.
|
|
- there are no more width specifiers.
|
|
If less than 5 valid, non-null width specifiers are
|
|
present, the remaining
|
|
columns will be hidden.
|
|
|
|
I've also modified the default column widths as to
|
|
better fit the columns
|
|
into the given rectangle.
|
|
|
|
I've modified the VolumeCostList control in
|
|
TEMPLATE.MSI &
|
|
TESTDB.MSI's DiskCost dialog as to have width
|
|
specificators in its
|
|
Text field.
|
|
|
|
98-05-18 t-caroln fixed bug 5430 -- Error exporting binary data from a
|
|
table whose primary key is of type integer. Fixed
|
|
by adding a new method to IMsiCursor called GetMoniker
|
|
which handles computing the stream name. This
|
|
method is open for testing in the msiauto api. In
|
|
automation it is a read-only property of CAutoCursor called
|
|
Moniker. See msiauto.hlp and bug for details on use.

command line return ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND if transform file
|
|
not found and the Transform application error
|
|
otherwise
|
|
|
|
98-05-15 bench Fixed bug 3632: "Darwin should log all failures to
|
|
file even if logging was not turned on". If an error
|
|
or warning occurs and logging is not turned on, we
|
|
will create a log on the fly to contain the error
|
|
message, and continue logging for the remainder of the
|
|
install. The dynamic log is created in the temp
|
|
directory and is called MSI*.LOG, where * is a set of random
|
|
alpha-numeric characters.
|
|
|
|
98-05-15 mattwe Fixed Bug 4499: The UpperCase type in _Validation now
|
|
works in tandem with any foreign key validation.
|
|
|
|
The Feature.Directory_ column now must be both a foreign
|
|
key to the Directory table, *and* UPPERCASE. (a public
|
|
property.)
|

98-05-14 t-caroln Fixed bug 4461. Change was minor where changed the
|
|
WriteLog calls to Message(imtInfo...) in the
|
|
ValidateTransform code.
|
|
|
|
98-05-14 bench Fixed bugs 5083 and 5084, both of which dealt with
|
|
backup files being left around in low disk space
|
|
conditions. The fix for these bugs was more general: the
|
|
CMsiFileCopy object will delete any files it has
|
|
partially installed after an error or cancellation
|
|
occurs. This is true for both compressed and uncompressed
|
|
file copy.

98-05-13 mattwe Bug 5374: Removed unused property "Registraton" (sic)

98-05-13 bench Fixed bug 4036: "Installation fails when TEMP
|
|
environment variable not found" Our logic for locating the
|
|
TEMP directory is hopefully final. We now do the
|
|
following: If %TMP% is defined, we use that directory.
|
|
Otherwise, if %TEMP% is defined, we use it.
|
|
Otherwise, on 9X we use %windows%\temp and on NT we use
|
|
%systemdrive%\temp. In all cases, if the directory does
|
|
not exist, we create it. Note that from the
|
|
service, we always use %windows%\msi as the temp directory.

98-05-13 chetanp Fixed bug 5398:We now support a new flag INSTALLMODE_NODETECT
|
|
for the dwInstallMode argument in the MsiProvideQualifiedComponent
|
|
and MsiProvideComponent APIs. This flag skips the component key
|
|
path detection logic. Hence setting this flag will cause darwin to
|
|
return success and the key path in scenarios where the component
|
|
was installed but the key path was (externally) deleted.
|
|
|
|
98-05-12 mattwe Bug #5222: "SYSTEM" account is localized to another
|
|
name on foreign systems. We've changed the security
|
|
internals to recognize this special account, and
|
|
look them up in a localization independent fashion.
|
|
this will prevent the need for localizing the
|
|
LockPermissions table.
|
|
|
|
Bug #5283: Command line properties must now start
|
|
with an alpha numeric character. This prevents
|
|
the command line "Prop1=Value2" from being
|
|
misinterpreted as a value name of "Prop1.
|
|
People have commonly messed this up by simply removing
|
|
the obsolete /o command line switch, without fixing
|
|
the quotes.

|
98-05-08 mattwe Bug 4811: We now retry to download cabinets from
|
|
the internet. Normally, if we can't find a file
|
|
from source media, it's considered an authoring
|
|
error/debug failure. However, the internet is a

little more flakey, and there's a chance the file

will re-appear.
|

allowable values.
|

98-05-07 mattwe Bug 2802: Set validation of integers never worked.
|

|
|
ServiceControl.Event and Feature.Attributes to new
|
|
sets based on the newly detected failures.
|

|
98-05-07 malcolmh Fixed bug 4042: After configure TestDB to source,

run-from-source registry keypaths correctly.

|
|
end of the install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-05-07 tracyf Added the ability for the Installer to detect, if an
|
|
out-of-disk-space condition is encountered, whether
|
|
there would be enough disk space to complete the
|
|
install if rollback were to be disabled. If so, the
|
|
author now has the option to prompt the user whether to
|
|
continue without rollback. Alternatively, the author
|
|
can specify that the Installer should silently
|
|
disable rollback and continue, or fail with the normal
|
|
out-of-disk-space error. Implementation of this
|
|
functionality involves two new properties (OutOfNoRbDiskSpace
|
|
and PROMPTROLLBACKCOST), and a new control event
|
|
(EnableRollback). TestDB has been updated to use these
|
|
new elements (see the ControlEvent table), and new
|
|
content describing them will be added to the help file.
|

98-05-06 malcolmh Fixed bug 5295: We need to change from using

|
|
|
|
98-05-06 andrewh 5193: UninstallString (s) no longer have the full

network had their uninstall strings pointing to msiexec
|
|

network installpoint was available
|
|
|
|
98-05-06 bench Fixed bug 4702: "Assert in engine.cpp when service

98-05-05 johndelo Bug 4706: MsiSetExternUI now remembers the old message
|

filter and context when returning the previous handler.
|

When the old handler is passed back with 0 for the filter,
|
|
the cached values are restored. Old handlers may not be

passing it back to either the "A" or the "W" interface.

|
98-05-05 bench Fixed bug 5319. The Validation type for the
|
|
Shortcut.Name column (specified in the _Validation table)
|
|
was Text. This was changed to Filename. As a result,
|
|
if you currently have any shortcut names that are not

|
valid Filename's (aren't SFN|LFN for example) your

package will fail to validate.

98-05-05 mattwe Bug 5172: Services -- when a service fails to respond to a

98-05-04 bench Fixed bug 5254: Added the ProductID property (with a

value of "none") to the template.msi property table.
|
|
Since the username and company are not registered
|
|
by the RegisterUser action if the ProductID property

|
Condition be processed BEFORE the installed states of

|
Condition table can no longer include references to the

installed states of features or components (even before

|
this fix, references to installed states won't work in
|
|

Release 0.10.00.4006
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-04-06 bench added a third public header: msidefs.h. This
|
|
purpose of this file is to provide common data definitions
|
|
to custom actions and authoring environments (users
|
|
of msiquery.h). Currently this file contains the
|
|
definitions for all exposed properties and the various
|
|
values each integer column may contain. This file has
|
|
been dropped to the COMMON folder along with msi.h
|
|
and msiquery.h.
|
|
|
|
98-04-06 mattwe 4951. We now no longer attempt to set security on
|
|
backup file directories on REMOTE volumes. This
|
|
never worked, so the fix simply prevents the install
|
|
from failing.

|
98-04-03 tracyf For bug 2985, Darwin error codes and messages have
|
|
been totally revamped. Most messages that were
|
|
previously ship messages (i.e. appear in the Error table
|
|
and thus require localization) have been changed to
|
|
debug-only. Only those messages that present
|
|
understandable information to the average user have
|
|
remained as ship messages. In doing this, we've reduced
|
|
the number of messages in the Error table from 356 to 68.
|
|
|
|
98-04-03 mattwe 2823: New and improved command line parsing.
|
|
|
|
TESTING/DOCUMENTATION: all references to the /o
|
|
command line option should go away. The new method
|
|
is to specify PROPERTY=VALUE at any point in the
|
|
command line. To include spaces, use:
|
|
PROPERTY="VALUE VALUE". For including a quote
|
|
within a quoted string, use two quotes:
|
|
PROPERTY="QUOTE "" QUOTE". In a non-quoted string,
|
|
do not double quote. PROPERTY=QUOTE"QUOTE.
|
|
|
|
The /o flag has been left in place for the time
|
|
being to allow for backwards compatibility,
|
|
but will slowly go away. See here or SETUPSUP
|
|
for more details.
|
|
|
|
98-04-03 malcolmh Removed unused Regkey.RemoveSubKey method.
|
|
|
|
98-04-02 malcolmh Partial fix for bug:
|
|
|
|
2985: WORK ITEM: Fix error codes
|
|
|
|
The error codes in database.h, iconfig.h, regkey.h,
|
|
and services.h have changed.
|
|
|
|
98-04-02 malcolmh We now set the Timestamp field in the script header.
|
|
The time stamp is an integer value whose high-order
|
|
word is the DOS date, and low-order word is the DO
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
98-04-02 malcolmh Fixed bug:
|
|
|
|
2126: Work item: Remove ProgMan support
|
|
|
|
This includes some opcodes, some services methods,
|
|
and some actions.
|
|
|
|
98-04-02 chetanp we now always shared dll refcount all files that go
|

|
|
that exist in the system folder w/o a shared dll
|
|
refcount.
|
|
|
|
98-04-01 johndelo Changed GUID compression for registry data - Bug 4343
|
|
GUIDS now are stripped of punctuation and the bytes
|
|
are reordered low-to-high order for best performance.
|
|
GUIDS packed into MSI descriptors have not changed.
|
|
PackGUID and UnPackGUID functions in RunScript.exe
|
|
(as well as internal functions) now accept an enum
|
|
to designate the compression to use:
|
|
ipgFull = 0 - no compression, simply copies GUID
|
|
ipgPacked = 1 - reordered hex digits only, len=32
|
|
ipgCompressed = 2 - re-encoded text, len=20
|
|
Packed is used for reg data, Compressed for descriptors.
|
|
All MSI apps should be uninstalled before using this
|
|
build, to avoid leaving obsolete info in registry.
|
|
ShowMsi.vbs and RunScrpt.exe have been updated.
|
|
|
|
98-04-01 malcolmh Fixed bug:
|
|
|
|
4011: Msiexec /a should be remapped to mean "admin"
|
|
|

*** CHANGE TO MSIEXEC COMMAND-LINE FLAGS ***
|
|

98-04-01 bench The LanguageId property has been replaced by the
|
|
UserLanguageID and SystemLanguageID properties.

|
98-04-01 bench Replaced the VersionEngine and VersionServices
|
|
properties with a single VersionMsi property.
|
|
|
|
98-04-01 mattwe bug 4701, 4897 - Internet optimization of file://
|
|
protocol. Instead of caching the database now,
|
|
we use the standard practice of stripping the file://
|
|
part, and using the resultant path. WININET does
|
|
this in one of its APIs.
|
|
|
|
Also, we now handle the variety of forward/backslashes
|
|
that you should be familiar with in the shell.
|
|
|
|
98-04-01 chetanp bug 4830 - we now support "short uninstall". We now
|
|
have 2 separate flags for MsiAdvertiseScript -
|
|
SCRIPTFLAGS_REGDATA_APPINFO for application registry data
|
|
(OLE goop) and SCRIPTFLAGS_REGDATA_CNFGINFO for darwin
|
|
cnfg. data. The SCRIPTFLAGS enums have changed.
|
|
However we will be binary and source level compatible
|
|
with the older values for some time.
|
|
|
|
98-04-01 chetanp bug 4473 - we now place the SYSTEM ACL on the
|
|
published product key if we are called inproc
|
|
(MsiAdvertiseProduct) by the LocalSystem (by a service) or if we
|
|
are running as a service and we are called to

|
advertise a product by an admin.

98-03-31 tracyf In response to bug 4881, the REINSTALLMODE_REPAIR
|
|
bit (an argument to the MsiReinstallProduct and
|
|
MsiReinstallFeature API's) is now obsolete and is ignored.
|
|
The same goes for the 'r' option used on the command
|
|
line, and in the REINSTALLMODE property. The
|
|
reinstall options are now determined solely by the other
|
|
reinstall bits.
|

98-03-31 mattwe Bug #4898: Fixed FormatText for embedded nulls.
|
|
In a string to be formatted "foo[~]" the string

want to test the component thrashing mechanism.
|
|
|
|
98-03-30 johndelo Support for actions run at successful execution termination
|
|
(commit). Custom action flag icaCommit added to permit
|
|
a custom action to execute on success, similar to rollback.
|
|
|
|
98-03-30 malcolmh Fixed bug:
|
|
|
|
4488: Nested Install in Testdb doesn't work on
|
|
NT4.0.
|
|
|
|
I didn't fix the original cause of this bug, but I
|
|
fixed the most recent cause which was an
|
|
impersonation problem. I changed our impersonation count to be
|
|
per-thread instead of per-process.
|
|
|
|
98-03-30 mattwe 4245: Validation skipping sequence tables.
|
|
We now validate all 6 sequencing tables, and have added
|
|
two new command line flags for the second option.
|
|
-seq validates only the sequence table
|
|
-seqall validates only the sequence tables, but does
|
|
not end after an error. The final result is not
|
|
reliable. However, you get to see all the errors in
|
|
one run.
|
|
|
|
I've also added _InstallValidate records for several
|
|
new actions added since sequencing was turned off,
|
|
and slightly tweaked the _Sequence table for
|
|
optional bits on RegisterMIME and RegisterExtensionInfo
|
|
|
|
98-03-30 bench Fixed bugs:
|
|
|
|
4212: No indicator Rollback is running.
|
|
4313: While resume installing is in progress,please let
|
|
the user know.
|
|
4469: Second install runs in no UI mode after rolling back
|
|
another product install.
|
|
|
|
All bugs dealt with the UI that is used during rollback and
|
|
rollback cleanup. Prior to this change, all progress for
|
|
rollback or cleanup was done using the basic UI. With recent
|
|
changes to our execution model (seperate UI thread, generating
|
|
script on server side) this stopped working. The problem was
|
|
that a UI interface was being created within the service for use
|
|
by the rollback processing, but the interface must be created on
|
|
the client side to operate correctly.
|
|
|
|
The fix is to use whatever UI the client side is currently using.
|
|
This wasn't done before because if the full UI was being used, it
|
|
may have had a cancel button or may not have had a progress bar.
|
|
These problems have been overcome by disabling the cancel button
|
|
on the full UI (we know which control is the cancel control because
|
|
the author specifies this) and we just assume that the dialog will
|
|
have a progress bar on it. Thus, if you are using full UI and
|
|
either need to rollback a suspended install or need to rollback the
|
|
current install, the full UI will be used to display the rollback
|
|
progress. This is a change from previous behaviour.
|
|
|
|
98-03-30 tracyf Added the internal-only MsiRegisterSysHandle,
|
|
MsiCloseSysHandle, and MsiCloseAllSysHandles functions.
|
|
These routines allow Darwin to clean up open system
|
|
handles (file handles, mutex handles, etc) in case of a
|
|
fatal error (out of memory, etc). Any handles that
|
|
are currently closed using WIN::CloseHandle should use
|
|
these routines instead.

Darwin as an OLE server on Win9X. This is accomplished

by calling msiexec -d (which just registers the shell

plaform. Having Darwin act as an OLE server on Win9X is

unecessary and only degrades performance.

Errors are not produced if the EXE cannot be created,
|
|
of if it returns non-zero and the return is not disabled.
|
|
|
|
98-03-19 tracyf Fixed bug 4491. To fix this one, I needed to add a new
|
|
"SpawnWaitDialog" control event. This event pops up the
|
|
dialog specified in the "Argument" column of the ControlEvent
|
|
table if the specified Condition is FALSE, and keeps the
|
|
dialog up for as long as the condition remains FALSE.
|
|
As soon as the condition evaluates to TRUE, the dialog
|
|
is automatically removed. For bug 4491, this is used
|
|
to pop up a "Please wait..." dialog if the user clicks
|
|
the "Install Now" button (or the "Next" or "Disk Cost"
|
|
buttons on the Selection dialog) before background
|
|
costing is complete.
|
|
|
|
Along with the new ControlEvent, a new property has also
|
|
been defined: "CostingComplete". Thus, the conditional
|
|
statement for the SpawnWaitDialog would be "CostingComplete
|
|
= 1".
|
|
|
|
The dialog specified for SpawnWaitDialog should have
|
|
only one active Control on it - a "Cancel" button. You'll
|
|
need to add an "ExitDialog" control event tied to this button,
|
|
with an argument of "Exit". This will allow your "Wait"
|
|
dialog to be cancelled without triggering any other event
|
|
tied to the button that spawned your "Wait" dialog.
|
|
|
|
See the Dialog, Control, and ControlEvent
|
|
tables of the latest TestDB.msi for an example.
|
|
|
|
98-03-19 bench Added the UserSID property, which is the string
|
|
representation of the user's security id. Only set on
|
|
NT. This property is useful for custom actions that
|
|
need to access registry keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
|
|
When a custom action is executed in the installation
|
|
service, it may not access HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|
|
directly. Instead, it must open a key beneath HKEY_USERS.
|
|
The value of this property is the name of the key
|
|
under HKEY_USERS which may be used in place of
|
|
HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

|
|
Transforms now can be applied multiply to databases
|
|
opened read-only or read-write, with tables unloaded,
|
|
loaded, saved, or previous transformed. The format of
|
|
transforms files HAS BEEN CHANGED in order to fix the
|
|
many bugs, and now represents data in the same format
|
|
as the databae files (with considerable space saving).
|
|
Also the CLSID of the storage is now validated when
|
|
applying transforms and the previous format is rejected.
|
|
MsiTran.exe view transform mode temporarily supports
|
|
both the old and the new transform file format.
|
|
An extensive transform test checked in: TestTran.vbs
|
|
The API automation function GenerateTransform now
|
|
works in the database compare mode (no transform file),
|
|
returns a boolean indicating whether differences found.

is done when only re-registration is being
|
|
performed). We also now cost only those components actively

features/components)

|
|
98-03-12 mattwe Bugs 4694, 4695: We now handle bogus slashes in

IE handles URLs of the form http:\\ or http://,
|
|
and while backslashes are technically illegal,
|
|
they handle them. For Darwin, I could reject them,

|
98-03-09 chetanp bug 4113, 4390 : we now skip the source resolution in
|
|
the component installed states determination and
|
|
component management logic. Made changes to the
|
|
GetComponentPAth fn in msinst.cpp and the class and
|
|
extension processing code (which was also previously
|
|
forcing source resolution during uninstall).
|
|
|
|
98-03-09 chetanp completed mreged nested installs support -
|
|
|
|
we impose the following restrictions on merged
|
|
|
|
nested installs -
|
|
1. a component can occur atmost once in the same
|
|
install (no sharing of components between products in a
|
|
single install).
|
|
2. no component in an install can be such that it
|
|
requires to thrash any other component in the same
|
|
install.
|
|
3. a product can occur at most once in the same
|
|
install. (no P1 has P2 and P3, and P2 has P3 as well,
|
|
kindof scenarios).
|
|
4. a product can install selective features of a
|
|
nested product. However during uninstall it has to invoke
|
|
the nested product with "REMOVE=ALL". This is needed
|
|
because we do not keep the clients of a product on a
|
|
per feature basis, but instead on the entire product
|
|
and the product needs to go away when the last
|
|
client wishes to do so (no feature of a child product can
|
|
be removed if there are more than one clients of the
|
|
product).
|
|
5. a child install will not appear in the add/remove
|
|
control panel list of products unless it has also
|
|
been installedstand-alone.
|
|
|
|
98-03-09 chetanp bumped up the script version to 15 due to addition of new
|
|
opcodes (see below) and change in ixoProductRegister/
|
|
ixoProductUnregister and ixoProductPublish/ ixoProductUnpublish.
|
|
|
|
98-03-09 chetanp added ixoProductPublishClient/ ixoProductUnpublishClient
|
|
opcodes to manage the clients for a product.
|
|
|
|
98-03-09 chetanp added ixoProductCPDisplayInfoRegister/
|
|
ixoProductCPDisplayInfoUnregister opcodes that control whether a
|
|
product appears in the add/remove control panel. These
|
|
opcodes are used only if the product is being
|
|
installed w/o a parent.
|
|
|
|
98-03-09 eugend I've fixed bugs # 3262, 2925, 2190 & 2939.
|
|
|
|
98-03-09 mattwe 4546: According to Malcolm, RemoveFile.FileName really should
|
|
be nullable. We changed this from nullable, to non-nullable during
|
|
a recent Scopes prompted schema clean-up...
|
|
|
|
4318: Modified InstallExecute sequencing for InstallServices
|
|
to be NT only. (Added Condition VersionNT)
|
|
|
|
4386: ServiceControl.Arguments validated as KeyFormatted. Already
|
|
coded that way. Still open, assigned to Doc.
|
|
|
|
4326: Removed a redundant InternetGoOnline in msiutil, and changed
|
|
the function to recognize URLs for cabinets in execute.
|
|
|
|
98-03-06 mattwe Bug 4470: In our rollback generation for services, we read the
|
|
value of service dependencies incorrectly, and corrupted the data.
|
|
On writing the rollback, the service couldn't be restarted, and
|
|
rollback would abort. The value should be value<null>value<null><null>
|
|
(double null terminated.)
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.3906
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-03-05 bench Fixed bug 4332, which required significant changes to our
|
|
PID handling:
|
|
|
|
1) the PIDTemplate property is no longer unset after PID validation
|
|
2) the PRODUCTID property has been renamed to PIDKEY. This property
|
|
is no longer set to the full PID after validation
|
|
3) a new property, ProductID, is set to the full PID after validation.
|
|
If this property is not set, PID validation has not occurred.
|
|
4) PID validation is no longer performed implicitely in the CostInitialize
|
|
and RegisterUser actions. Rather it is performed in a new action -
|
|
ValidateProductID. This action should be sequenced both before the
|
|
UI wizard in InstallUISequence and before RegisterUser in
|
|
InstallExecuteSequence.
|
|
|
|
98-03-05 malcolmh Fixed bugs:
|
|
|
|
4207: Need to define which error msg's should
|
|
quietly be returned to the API caller
|
|
2493: Error opening installation log file in TEMP
|
|
directory, when TEMP directory is missing
|
|
4456: Handling multiple Help / Detect and Repair
|
|
|
|
98-03-05 bench Fixed bug 3379, allowing Validation to succeed even
|
|
if the _Validation tables references tables that
|
|
don't exist in the package. This will allow a package
|
|
with only a few tables to use the _Validation table as
|
|
is from schema.msi. As a result of this fix,
|
|
simple.msi and minimum.msi now use the _Validation table
|
|
from schema.msi.
|
|
|
|
98-03-05 eugend IMsiHandler::Terminate(bool fFatalExit) implemented
|
|
- it destroys all dialogs and
|
|
all bitmaps, icons, fonts and imagelists created in
|
|
the handler should a fatal error
|
|
occur. I've also modified the way
|
|
IMsiHandler::Terminate() is called in
|
|
MsiUIMessageContext::Terminate() (in
|
|
ENGINE\ACTION.CPP file).
|
|
|
|
98-03-04 davidmck Moved the flags for debug memory actions from the
|
|
DEBUGMEM environment variable to the _MSI_TEST
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
Currently implemented flags are:
|
|
A - check memory on alloc
|
|
F - check memory on free
|
|
I - no memory preflight init
|
|
K - keep memory allocations
|
|
M - log memory allocations
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-03-04 malcolmh Fixed bug 4477: Msi with extended use of conditional
|
|
components crashes Darwin.
|
|
|
|
98-03-04 malcolmh Added 'U' option to msizap. This allows removal of
|
|
only the %USERPROFILE%\MSI folder.
|
|
|
|
98-03-04 malcolmh Fixed bug 4462: Win95 API automation functions fail
|
|
if services not initialized. DEV: Changed g_fWindows,
|
|
g_fWin95 to g_fWin9X
|
|
|
|
98-03-03 bench This restriction has been in place for a while (ever
|
|
since script generation was performed on server
|
|
side) but I don't think it has been explicitely stated.
|
|
All Directory marked as "configurable" in the Feature
|
|
table must have names in ALL CAPS. This is required
|
|
so that if these folders are changed through the UI
|
|
on the client side, the new values may be passed
|
|
across to the server side as public properties. I have
|
|
fixed TestDb to conform to this restriction.

98-03-02 mattwe Bugs:
|
|
3776 Inconsistent nullable flags was causing build
|
|
failures in Office now that Scopes is checking.
|
|
There was another dupe on this topic.
|
|
4339 Service being started multiple times.
|
|
After a bunch o' checking, it turns out that really
|
|
all that was happening is that we had the message
|
|
issuing from inside a wait loop. That's cleaned up
|
|
and now you'll only get one message per start.
|
|
4430 Vital Services flag.
|
|
I chose 0x8000 0000 as a flag in the ServiceInstall
|
|
table to mark a service as vital. This overlaps
|
|
with the Bad Integer value, so that's been changed
|
|
to 0x8000 instead. I've checked with the only
|
|
client, and cleared it past them not to bump the
|
|
DB version.
|
|
4432 Exposed automation for GetSelfRelativeSD for testing.
|
|
|
|
98-03-02 malcolmh Fixed bugs 3547 (Remove 'run script' option /~ from
|
|
msiexec) and 4434 (CoInitialize before doing
|
|
selfreg/unreg).

98-02-26 chetanp The REsource table schema has changed. The key is
|
|
now made up of the File_, ResType and ResId columns
|
|
|
|
98-02-26 eugend Fixed Rich Edit related bugs # 4086 & 2854,
|
|
international lang. bugs # 3892,
|
|
2945, 3447, 4400 and bug # 4303 - I've modified
|
|
CONTROLS.CPP in order
|
|
to fix the last 5 ones.
|
|
|
|
98-02-25 bench Added new syntax for Directory.DefaultDir column:
|
|
|
|
[targetname]:[sourcename]
|
|
|
|
If the value contains a ':', the string before the ':' is
|
|
used during target path directory resolution and the string
|
|
after the ':' is used during source path resolution (or target
|
|
path resolution during admin installs).
|
|
|
|
This is useful for specifying different source and target folder
|
|
names. Also, in addition with the '.' syntax, this can be used
|
|
to add levels to either the source or target paths for a single
|
|
directory. For example:
|
|
|
|
TARGETDIR [blank] SOURCEDIR
|
|
MyAppDir TARGETDIR MyApp
|
|
Bin MyAppDir Bin
|
|
Binx86Dir BinDir .:x86
|
|
BinAlphaDir BinDir .:Alpha
|
|
|
|
will give you target paths of
|
|
|
|
MyAppDir: [TARGETDIR]MyApp\
|
|
Bin: [TARGETDIR]MyApp\Bin\
|
|
Binx86Dir: [TARGETDIR]MyApp\Bin\
|
|
BinAlphaDir: [TARGETDIR]MyApp\Bin\
|
|
|
|
and source paths of
|
|
|
|
MyAppDir: [SOURCEDIR]MyApp\
|
|
Bin: [SOURCEDIR]MyApp\Bin\
|
|
Binx86Dir: [SOURCEDIR]MyApp\Bin\x86\
|
|
BinAlphaDir: [SOURCEDIR]MyApp\Bin\Alpha\
|
|
|
|
98-02-25 bench The NOUI property has changed to LIMITUI, since the property just
|
|
limits the UI to basic and doesn't really turn off the UI. NOUI
|
|
will still be supported for some time.
|
|
|
|
98-02-25 davidmck Added src\install\darreg.txt. This contains all the
|
|
data needed to register darwin files at install time
|
|
without running msiexec /REGSERVER.
|
|
|
|
98-02-24 malcolmh Fixed bugs 4323, 4334. Msizap now ignores the
|
|
SERVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST error and delete folders and files
|
|
regardless of their attributes.
|
|
|
|
98-02-24 malcolmh Fixed bug 4340. Added WINAPI to INSTALLUI_HANDLER
|
|
prototype.
|
|
|
|
98-02-24 malcolmh Fixed Bug 4373. ERROR_INSTALL_TRANFORM FAILURE is
|
|
now ERROR_INSTALL_TRANSFORM_FAILURE.

-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.3818
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-02-18 malcolmh Added the PWNOMODIFY and PWNOREMOVE properties.
|
|
These properties prevent us from writing certain values
|
|
under the Uninstall key, to disable ARP and
|
|
ProgramsWizard functionality. See the properties spec
|
|
(http://officeweb/specs/TCO/DarwinProperties.html) for full
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
98-02-17 malcolmh If you do msiexec /x without explicitly setting a UI
|
|
level you'll now get a prompt to confirm that you
|
|
really want to uninstall.
|
|
|
|
As /x is what the context menu uses, you'll see
|
|
this prompt when you right-click on a Darwin package and
|
|
choose Uninstall.
|
|
|
|
This does NOT affect any of the following:
|
|
- Calls through any Darwin API
|
|
- MSI.DLL
|
|
- Msiexec /x when you specify /q, /qn, /qb, /qr, or /qf
|
|
|
|
98-02-17 chetanp The MIME.Extension_ column is now non-nullable.
|
|
removed the CreateProgmanItems and RemoveProgmanItems
|

added SelfUnregModules action to template
|
|
installexecutesequence table

98-02-16 tracyf Cleaned up the basic UI: it's now got an icon,
|

98-02-12 bench Fixed the custom action flags to work correctly with
|
|
our new sequencing model. Our new flags are the following:
|
|
|
|
(the bit names may change, the values will remain the same)
|
|
(note: the first to flags only make sense for CAs duplicated
|
|
in both sequence tables)
|
|
|
|
icaFirstSequence (256) : CA run in first sequence we execute
|
|
|
|
CA in UI sequence: run whenever UI sequence is run
|
|
CA in Execute sequence: run only if UI sequence wasn't run
|
|
(as in basic or no UI)
|
|
|
|
|
|
icaOncePerProcess (512) : CA run once per engine process
|
|
(there are potentially two engine processes on NT,
|
|
one for the client running the UI sequence and one
|
|
for the server running the Execute sequence. On 95,
|
|
there is only one process running both sequences)
|
|
|
|
CA in UI sequence: run whenever UI sequence is run
|
|
CA in Execute sequence: run if in server, or in client
|
|
if basic or no UI.
|
|
|
|
icaClientOnly (768) : CA is run in client only if
|
|
connected to a server.
|
|
|
|
CA in UI sequence: run only when in the client or connected
|
|
to the server (basically only run on NT with full/reduced
|
|
UI)
|
|
CA in Execute sequence: never run
|
|
|
|
NOTE: I am unclear to the benefit of this type of CA, but
|
|
this was supported before so it is still supported.
|
|
|
|
icaInScript (1024) : same as before, only run in execution
|
|
script. As such, this only makes sense for CAs in the
|
|
ExecuteSequence table.
|
|
|
|
icaRollback (256) : same as before, only used if icaInScript is set
|
|
|
|
icaNoImpersonate (2048) : do not impersonate the user. Should work
|
|
with all custom action types, not just icaInScript CAs as before
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-02-11 eugend I've replaced the CMsiMaskedEdit control with the
|
|
one provided by a-jhark
|
|
(this control is used only for PID number).
|
|
I've fixed bug # 3679 - the cursor doesn't move on
|
|
its own within edit
|
|
controls now.
|
|
|
|
98-02-11 davidmck Replaced the ClearVolumeCache function in services
|
|
with ClearAllCaches so the volume and record caches
|
|
are cleared.
|
|
|
|
98-02-11 t-robmen Added (-x) flag to MsiDB.exe. This flag will allow
|
|
you to extract a file/table out of a specfied
|
|
database.
|
|
ex: msidb.exe -dtestdb.msi -xBinary
|
|
|
|
(extracts the Binary table from the testdb.msi into a
|
|
file named Binary in you current drive)
|
|
NOTE: This flag will NOT extract storages (aka: nested msi's)
|
|
|
|
98-02-11 bench Added MSPATCHC.dll to the TOOLS folder on
|
|
\\united\darwin. This is required by msipat.dll.
|

-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.3811
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-02-11 bench Patch table: added Attributes column - a bit field
|
|
for various patch attributes. Also moved the
|
|
Patch.Sequence column to the set of primary keys to allow
|
|
multiple patches for the same file. These schema
|
|
changes are merged in with the previous changes for version
|
|
26.
|
|
|
|
98-02-11 bench MSPATCH: changed the dropped dll from mspatch.dll to
|
|
mspatcha.dll. The new dll contains only the patch
|
|
application apis, whereas the old dll also contained
|
|
the patch creation apis. The new dll is of course
|
|
smaller. The new dll replaces the old in the COMMON
|
|
drop folder and in the files installed by instmsi.exe
|
|
and copymsi.exe.
|
|
|
|
98-02-11 bench Added new API: MsiCreateTransformSummaryInfo, which
|
|
creates and populates the summary information stream
|
|
of an existing transform file. This api correctly
|
|
fills in the properties with the base and reference
|
|
ProductCode and ProductVersion properties, which has
|
|
been broken for a while. Also, the
|
|
MsiDatabaseGenerateTransform api and MsiDatabase.GenerateTransform
|
|
methods no longer create the suminfo for a transform.
|
|
Updated MsiTran.exe to use the new api.
|

|
|
98-02-10 malcolmh URL source lists are now implemented.
|
|
|
|
98-02-10 malcolmh The minimum and maximum database versions have been
|
|
bumped. This means that your package must conform
|
|
to version 26.
|
|
|
|
98-02-10 malcolmh The new dual-sequence table model is in place. We
|
|
now have a UI sequence and an Execute sequence for each
|
|
of the top-level actions (Install, Admin,
|
|
Advertise). Changes to your package are required. See
|
|
my mail for details.
|
|
|
|
98-02-09 t-robmen Added (-k) flag to MsiDB.exe. This flag will allow
|
|
you to kill (remove) a file/table/storage inside a
|
|
specfied database.
|
|
ex: msidb.exe -dtestdb.msi -kBinary (removes
|
|
the Binary table from
|
|
the testdb.msi)
|
|
|
|
98-02-09 bench Implemented change to "transaction model." Transactions are
|
|
defined as the changes that may be committed and not rolled
|
|
back should an error occur. The new model is thus:
|
|
|
|
InstallValidate - check disk space/files in use
|
|
NestedInstall - outside parent transaction - failure
|
|
of parent won't roll back
|
|
InstallInitialize - mark start of transaction, lock server
|
|
NestedInstall - merged with parent's transaction
|
|
InstallFinalize - run script and unlock server
|
|
NestedInstall - outside parent transaction - failure
|
|
won't rollback parent install
|
|
|
|
Note that InstallInitialize is a new action. ExecuteFinalize is
|
|
renamed to InstallFinalize.
|
|
|
|
98-02-09 bench Fixed several problems with concurrent installs. We now detect
|
|
when an in-progress install is still running and don't ask the
|
|
user to rollback the install. If a running in-progress install
|
|
is found and there is UI, a retry/cancel dialog is displayed.
|
|
If no UI, ERROR_INSTALL_ALREADY_RUNNING is returned.
|
|
|
|
98-02-09 bench The question of whether to rollback a cancelled or failed
|
|
install is now handled in an error message, whereas before
|
|
it was authored into the final exit dialog. To keep this
|
|
behaviour optional, the ALLOWSUSPEND property must be set
|
|
for this question to be asked. If this property is not set,
|
|
rollback is always performed after a cancel or failed install.
|
|
|
|
98-02-09 davidmck Improved handler speed by adding AttributeEx
|
|
function which takes an enum rather than the string when we
|
|
know what we want.
|
|
Made the ProcessText function virtual so the rich
|
|
edit control could overload it. Improves the speed of
|
|
the rich edit control since we did all the work and
|
|
then threw it away before.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 johndelo Removed Localize column from _Validation table. The
|
|
localizable attribute appears in the schema definitions.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 johndelo ODBC: Removed Feature column from all table and
|
|
script opcodes. Advertised via PublishComponent table.
|
|
Attribute values are now nullable.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 johndelo Updated headers to reflect change of message type
|
|
imtDiagnostic to imtFilesInUse (see relnotes 1/31).
|
|
Msi.h now uses INSTALLMESSAGE_FILESINUSE, and log
|
|
modes supplied via MsiExec and automation use the
|
|
letter 'f' for files in use messages.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 bench Fixed the rollback of nested installs (that are
|
|
merged in the parent's execution script). In the
|
|
process, the ixoProductRestore operation was removed.
|
|
ixoProductInfo with no arguments has taken its place.
|
|
Bumped the script version to 13 as a result.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 malcolmh Added args to msizap to make it less dangerous.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 bench Added Upgrade table and Upgrade actions to
|
|
schema.msi and template.msi. Since the Upgrade table is not
|
|
populated, the actions currently do nothing.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 bench Added MIGRATE property and MigrateFeatureSettings
|
|
action. The property is a ';'-delimited list of
|
|
product codes from which to migrate feature settings. This
|
|
property is set in the FindRelatedProducts action
|
|
and when applying a patch. The action sets the feature
|
|
states for the current install to the states of the
|
|
features in the existing products. It is assumed
|
|
that the features of the existing products have the same
|
|
names as the features of the installed product.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 malcolmh The non-DBCS versions of MsiString.Compare and
|
|
MsiString.Extract now support embedded nulls. Embedded
|
|
nulls are treated like any other character.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 malcolmh Fix for bug 3214 -- spit out ixoChangeMedia before
|
|
ixoDatabaseCache.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 malcolmh Fixed bug 3983 -- assert when disconnecting network
|
|
card.
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 malcolmh Darwin now creates a mutex named "__MsiPromptForCD"
|
|
when promping the user for a disk during source
|
|
resolution. This is what we already do when prompting
|
|
the user to change disks during an install.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 malcolmh For single disk installs the volume label in the
|
|
media table no longer has to match the actual volume
|
|
label of the media.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 malcolmh Source management for redist packs (and nested
|
|
installs in general) is done. The nested install will use
|
|
its parents to find an available source, and will
|
|
also use its own sourcelist if it has been installed as
|
|
a top-level install. Added SourceProduct arg to
|
|
IxoSourceListRegisterLastUsed. Added ChildPackagePath,
|
|
ChildDiskId, and Parent to IxoProductPublish &
|
|
IxoProductUnpublish. Bumped script version.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 malcolmh Consolidated exception handling. All exception
|
|
handling is now done in our unhandled exception handler
|
|
which is installed by the global message context
|
|
object. It is at this point that we generate the exception
|
|
message. In DEBUG builds we log the exception info
|
|
message to the debug log and display the message. In
|
|
both builds we'll write the message to the log if
|
|
logging is enabled, and we'll write the message to the
|
|
event log. The amount of exception information that we
|
|
gather is less in the ship build than in the debug
|
|
build. Also, we currently have a problem displaying the
|
|
correct symbol names for exceptions that occur in the
|
|
service.
|
|
|
|
98-02-08 mattwe ODBC: Added rollback for translators, drivers, driver
|
|
manager and data sources.
|
|
|
|
CMsiRegKey::ValueExists(), fixed a case that could result
|
|
in either a memory leak or a over-released error record.
|
|
|
|
98-02-07 chetanp schema change - SelfReg table no longer has
|
|
RegisterFn and UnregisterFn columns. We now only support the
|
|
default (DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer)
|
|
|
|
98-02-07 chetanp selfreg action is now run as a separate process. we
|
|
use the capabilities of msiexec to selfreg. we call
|
|
msiexec as a customaction in execute
|
|

Release 0.10.00.3807
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-02-07 mattwe DATABASE VERSION 0.25. Minimum unchanged.
|
|
|
|
Internet download: Now does cabinets on a "as-needed"
|
|
basis. Basically, if you never need a file from the
|
|
cabinet, the cabinet won't get downloaded. You can now
|
|
put *any* source under a URL, and install as if from
|
|
any other source. (i.e. you can copy testdb into a web
|
|
site.)
|
|
|
|
Services: Added "vital" flag to ServiceInstall.ErrorControl.
|
|
Add 0x8000 0000 to the value, and the if the service
|
|
fails to install, you won't be provided with an ignore.
|
|
Note that the "old" mechanism is used if the vital isn't
|
|
set. (So you may not see an ignore even if vital isn't set.)
|
|
The flag won't be read (even if set,) on 0.24 and older
|
|
databases. We'll strip it and do the expected thing.
|
|
|
|
InitRegKey: fixed memory leaks for keys that couldn't
|
|
be opened due to access denied. It's now more stringent
|
|
about failing the install.
|
|
|
|
LockPermissions table: changed LockPermissions.Permissions
|
|
from a text field to a binary. <= 0.24 database will still
|
|
be read as a string. 0.25 and later are expected to be
|
|
binary.
|
|
|
|
TestDb: modified LockPermissions table to include
|
|
full control for administrators for all settings. Devs
|
|
now should have no problem doing full installs, as long
|
|
as you're an administrator. (So please unghost it.)
|
|

|
|
Release 0.10.00.3806
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-02-06 t-robmen MsiDb.exe NEW features. You can now:
|
|
o (-a) Add files (usually cabinets) directly into a
|
|
darwin database
|
|
o (-r) Add storages (usually nested darwin databases)
|
|
directy into a darwin database
|
|
o Do merges, do transforms, and the above two
|
|
options simply by specifiy a target database with (-d) AND
|
|
a source database with one of the following flags:
|
|
(-m), (-t), (-a), (-r)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The target database MUST exist before using the last NEW feature.
|
|
Use (-c) if the database does NOT exist yet.
|
|
The (-?) option reflects the additions.
|
|
|
|
98-02-06 t-robmen Added FileSize and FileVersion to Installer OLE
|
|
Automation.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.3805
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-02-05 johndelo IMsiDatabase::GetTableState has been exposed, and will
|
|
soon replace FindTable, which can no longer be supported.
|
|
For internal automation, there is a TableState property.
|
|
FindTable will supported for this release only, to allow
|
|
tests to be converted to use (Get)TableState, which allows
|
|
a particular attibute of the table to be queried. See
|
|
MsiAuto.hlp, or itsEnum in database.h.
|
|
|
|
98-02-05 malcolmh Created MSIZAP.EXE. This is a more robust replacement
|
|
for clearreg. ** TESTING: this should be dropped instead
|
|
of clearreg. Clearreg doesn't work any more. MsiZap
|
|
does a more thorough job of cleaning your system. BE SURE
|
|
to do a msizap /? to see what it does before you run
|
|
it. Currently it's an all-or-nothing zap. If there's a need
|
|
to be more granular let me know.
|
|
|
|
98-02-05 malcolmh Our policies are now located in their final resting spot, in:
|
|
(HKCU/HKLM)\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
|
|
|
|
98-02-05 malcolmh Implemented some new and changed policies:
|
|
|
|
- We now respect the policy values AlwaysInstallElevated,
|
|
DisableMsi, and DisableBrowse. For details on these see the
|
|
Policies, SourceList, and Security specs. In short:
|
|
|
|
- If both the user and machine AlwaysInstallElevated policies
|
|
are set then, unless we're disabled, we'll install all apps
|
|
elevated.
|
|
|
|
- DisableMsi can be set such that we won't install unmanaged
|
|
packages, or so that we'll refuse to install any package.
|
|
|
|
- DisableBrowse replaces EnableBrowse, so that we default
|
|
to allowing browsing from the source dialog.
|
|
|
|
98-02-05 malcolmh Implemented the Security spec:
|
|
|
|
- We create a key named "Secure" under our
|
|
HKLM\Sw\Ms\Win\CV\Installer key so that we won't ever
|
|
think the key is empty and therefore won't ever delete it.
|
|
|
|
- We now ACL (secure) our registry keys and files. For a
|
|
full description see the security design doc on http://jdelo3.
|
|
In short, we put an ACL on %WINDIR%\MSI, X:\config.msi,
|
|
%USERPROFILE%\Msi, our "publish" reg keys, and our local machine
|
|
reg keys.
|
|
|
|
- We ACL OLE goop for assigned apps.
|
|
|
|
- Our ACL gives SYSTEM full control and everyone else Read
|
|
access. To delete our ACL'd keys & files you must be an admin
|
|
and you must first take ownership of the key or file and
|
|
then give yourself delete access. Or you can use MsiZap.
|
|
|
|
- We now use the %WINDIR%\Msi directory as our TEMP dir
|
|
for any secure temp files.
|
|
|
|
- We should now be storing any temp file created while we're in
|
|
the server should in a secure location. If you have an NTFS drive
|
|
and are able to delete or change any of our temp files (rollback
|
|
scripts, install scripts, temp patching files, custom action DLLs
|
|
& EXEs, temp cached database) then something's broken.
|
|
|
|
- We now support an "Impersonated" mode. In this mode we'll
|
|
impersonate during the entire install, except when we
|
|
need to access our keys and files. For these we temporarily
|
|
revert to SYSTEM privileges. This necessitated identifying
|
|
all possible locations where we were accessing secure files
|
|
and adding the Elevate call. If I've missed any places you'll
|
|
see errors like "could not write reg key blah" or "access
|
|
denied writing file blah". We will operate in this mode unless
|
|
policy directs us to do otherwise.
|
|
|
|
- Here's the logic we use to determine whether we Elevate,
|
|
Impersonate, or Frustrate. Elevate mode is what we always
|
|
used to do when the service was registered; you pretty much
|
|
have free reign on the system. Impersonate mode is described
|
|
above. And if we must reject the installation then we're sure
|
|
to Frustrate the user...
|
|
|
|
IF DisableMsi policy == 2 THEN
|
|
Frustrate
|
|
ELSE IF the app is assigned THEN
|
|
Elevate
|
|
ELSE
|
|
IF DisableMsi policy == 1 THEN
|
|
Frustrate
|
|
ELSE IF (user & machine elevate policies == 1) THEN
|
|
Elevate
|
|
ELSE
|
|
Impersonate
|
|
FI
|
|
FI
|
|
|
|
- We now determine whether an app is Assigned or not by looking
|
|
at the ACL on the published product key and seeing whether
|
|
SYSTEM is the owner. If so, then the app is assigned. This implies
|
|
that we only ACL the published product key if the app is
|
|
Assigned.
|
|
|
|
- DEV: GetTempPath is now hard to call, as we really should be using
|
|
a secure location for most of our temp files. If you see a !!!
|
|
compiler errorthat you don't understand, it's probably this.
|
|
|
|
- Our service now ACLs some keys and files when it starts:
|
|
* HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer
|
|
* HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Secure
|
|
* %WINDIR%\Msi
|
|
|
|
- We only apply ACLs when we can. You won't get any ACLs on Win95 and
|
|
you won't see any ACLs on files or folders on your FAT drive.
|
|
|
|
- Added optional AdminAssigned arg to ixoProductInfo opcode. This
|
|
arg is simply a placeholder, and can be set to any value. The
|
|
ixoProductInfo operation will fill in the correct value.
|
|
|
|
98-02-04 chetanp enhanced component sharing and thrashing support to
|
|
accomodate nested merged installs. added global
|
|
component table to communicate the component client state
|
|
transitions. we now recalculate the component
|
|
installed and action states in ProcessComponents action.
|
|
|
|
98-02-04 tracyf Enhanced costing to support the removal of old files
|
|
via the RemoveFile table when the same file(s) will
|
|
also be installed via the File table. Without this
|
|
support, the RemoveFile costing was subtracting the
|
|
cost of removing the file, while the InstallFile
|
|
costing was also subtracting the cost of the existing file
|
|
(not knowing it was going to be removed by another
|
|
action). Now, InstallFiles costing knows if another
|
|
action is removing a file it is going to install, and
|
|
if so, reacts as if the existing file is not there
|
|
(i.e. no version checking, and it ignores the size of
|
|
the existing file).
|
|
|
|
98-02-03 bench Upgrades/Patching: Fixed several problems, mostly to
|
|
allow patches or upgrades that change the product
|
|
code. Also added the ability for an upgrade to remove
|
|
any obsolete patches.
|
|
|
|
98-02-02 davidmck Enhanched MSIEXEC /REGSERVER to see if msi.dll was
|
|
registered to handle the proxy code and if not, call
|
|
DllRegisterServer() in msi.dll.
|
|
|
|
98-02-02 t-robmen When an open database handle is passed to the
|
|
OpenPackage, Dawin now correctly sets the running path.
|
|
Also, UIPreview of a database is now internally
|
|
specified by iuiNextEnum in engine.cpp and msiquery.cpp
|
|
|
|
98-02-02 t-robmen Added FileSize and FileVersion info to runscrpt.cpp
|
|
|
|
98-02-02 eugend Fixed bugs # 1525, 2736 - CMsiText control formats
|
|
strings that contain a path or a registry key before
|
|
displaying
|
|
them. Fixed bug # 3244 - If there are no items in
|
|
CSelectionTree control, it empties text in other
|
|
controls and
|
|
disables buttons. I've added SelectionNoItems
|
|
control event and three new events into EventMapping.idt
|
|
table.
|
|
|
|
98-02-02 mattwe Note: I am NOT adding this to TestDB until it has
|
|
passed a round or two of testing. It mucks with
|
|
system settings which can pretty well hose you.
|
|
New optional table: Environment
|
|
Documentation forthcoming. Basically, you describe
|
|
names and values for environment variables.
|
|
New optional actions: RemoveEnvironmentStrings,
|
|
WriteEnvironmentStrings. Basically just the uninstall
|
|
and install placeholders.
|
|
New opcode: ixoUpdateEnvironmentStrings
|
|
Same opcode for 95 and NT. The AutoExecPath is only
|
|
used on 95, however. It should point at the location
|
|
where the AutoExec lives. The WIN95_ENVIRONMENT_TEST
|
|
property can be set to override this value to protect
|
|
your system.
|
|
|
|
On NT, this opcode modifies the registry directly.
|
|
On 95, it rewrites the autoexec.bat file.
|
|
|
|
98-02-02 mattwe DB Version 0.24. Backwardly compatible with 0.23.
|
|
See services below for schema change.
|
|
|
|
Services: Added ServiceInstall.Arguments column. It's
|
|
completely optional until such time as we move the mininum
|
|
database version to 24. This column allows you to provide
|
|
startup arguments to a service. They're passed in to the
|
|
WinMain at every start, as opposed to per-start arguments in
|
|
the ServiceControl table. (Per-start means each requestor
|
|
can pass different arguments.) Bug/feature request #3919
|
|
|
|
98-01-31 tracyf When InstallValidate detects an out-of-disk-space
|
|
condition, it now sends a message of the
|
|
imtOutOfDiskSpace type to the Message facility (instead of a
|
|
generic imtError message). The record accompanying the
|
|
message contains a string holding the path to the
|
|
out-of-space disk in field [2], the required space in field
|
|
[3], and the available space on that volume in field [4].
|
|
This allows an external Handler to intercept and process the
|
|
message as it sees fit.
|
|
|
|
98-01-31 tracyf Added the imtFilesInUse message type (the unused imtDiagnostic
|
|
type has been replaced). Now, instead of calling
|
|
DoAction("FilesInUse") from InstallValidate, the imtFilesInUse
|
|
message is sent through the MsiEngine::Message facility
|
|
instead. The record sent with the Message(imtFilesInUse, riRec)
|
|
call describes all modules currently in use whose associated
|
|
file needs to be replaced. The record contains two strings
|
|
for each module - the first containing the module name, and the
|
|
second containing the title of the module's main window. The
|
|
MsiHandler has been modified to accept this message and display
|
|
the same "FilesInUse" dialog it did before. Any external
|
|
Handler can process the message as it sees fit. This change
|
|
was necessary because the previous mechanism of adding rows
|
|
to the Listbox table from within InstallValidate breaks when
|
|
running nested installs, since the current engine and the
|
|
Handler may be reading/writing separate databases.
|
|
|
|
98-01-31 tracyf NT Event logging has been improved. On either
|
|
successful completion of an install, or termination due
|
|
to a fatal error, a single event is now written to the
|
|
Event log. The event text consists of the name of the
|
|
product, and either an "install operation successful"
|
|
message, or the full text of the error message resulting
|
|
from the fatal error. Note: for the Event Log text to be
|
|
formatted properly, msi.dll must be registered in the
|
|
Registry as a source of Event Log messages, under the
|
|
System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\EventLog\\Application\\MsiInstaller"
|
|
key. This registration is performed automatically when
|
|
DllRegisterServer is called on msi.dll.
|
|

Release 0.10.00.3730

-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-01-30 johndelo MsiEnableLog now interprets a NULL log file path as
|
|
disable logging, in which case the logmode is
|
|
ignored. If a path is supplied, then the logmode must not be
|
|
zero. There were 5 nearly duplicate bugs related to
|
|
this.
|
|
|
|
98-01-30 johndelo To enable registraton of internal COM interfaces for
|
|
automation, the environment variable _MSI_TEST must
|
|
be set to a string containing the letter 'R'. By
|
|
default only the public API automation interface and the
|
|
custom marshalling code is registered. Temporarily
|
|
regmsi.exe sets this environment variable until tests
|
|
are fixed up. Using regsvr32 or direct call to DLL
|
|
will required the environment variable to be set for
|
|
internal automation registration. Other test options are
|
|
forthcoming.
|
|
|
|
98-01-28 mattwe Services: added disable/enable timeout wrappers.
|
|
For the most part, the service control manager (SCM)
|
|
has its own timeouts that will kick back to us.
|
|
|
|
98-01-28 mattwe Services: Fixed dependent services bugs. Two things
|
|
were hoked, one due to the complexity of the test case,
|
|
and another from misread documentation.
|
|
|
|
Reminder: The ServiceInstall.Dependencies column is a
|
|
list of service *names*, like the ones in ServiceInstall.Name
|
|
or ServiceControl.Name. Each name should be separated by
|
|
[~] (null), and the list should end with [~][~] double null.
|
|
|
|
98-01-28 davidmck Changed the interface between client and server from
|
|
using IDispatch to using IDL files and doing the RPC
|
|
calls directly.
|
|
This is a performance improvement.
|
|
|
|
98-01-28 mattwe Script: new opcode ixoStreamAdd. Bumped script version to 11.
|
|
This allows a stream to be added to a file. The last parameter
|
|
is an IMsiStream object, with the data. This does not rollback,
|
|
similarly to ixoStreamsRemove, as it is only used by the
|
|
admin database copy.
|
|
|
|
Property: Added AdminProperties (IPROPNAME_ADMIN_PROPERTIES)
|
|
This contains a ';' delimited list of properties that should
|
|
be saved for post-admin installs. This can include lower
|
|
or upper case (external) properties.
|
|
|
|
Network installs: during a network install, the properties
|
|
listed in AdminProperties are saved to a separate UNICODE
|
|
stream called AdminProperties in the destination storage.
|
|
|
|
Post admin install: property resolution now has an
|
|
intermediate step where properties from the admin install
|
|
override values in the database. These values, in turn,
|
|
are still overriden by the command line.
|
|

|
Release 0.10.00.3727
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 johndelo Timeout logic in the UI thread changed to provide
|
|
frequent (currently 50 msec) ticks which are
|
|
sent to the UI handlers to pump their messages,
|
|
eliminating some lockups and display failures.
|
|
After a given number of ticks (currently 20 seconds)
|
|
the timeout error is displayed allowing the user
|
|
to retry or cancel (except if in the debugger).
|
|
This timeout is disabled when running customs actions,
|
|
as they can't be assured of sending progress messages.
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 johndelo MsiCloseAllHandles is fixed to close only handles
|
|
allocated by the calling thread (not those used by
|
|
the engine, automation, or other custom actions).
|
|
MsiCloseHandle must be called in the thread where
|
|
the handle was obtained. An assert is now given
|
|
where this fails, but will be changed to an error.
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 bench We no longer register package codes under a
|
|
"Packages" key. Package codes are now only stored under the
|
|
appropriate product key. This change was made to
|
|
avoid the complications of merging the Packages key on
|
|
NT5.
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 bench Added new reinstallmode: REINSTALLMODE_PACKAGE, or
|
|
'v'. This mode ensures the source package is used and
|
|
cached, even if a cached package exists. This will
|
|
be used to reinstall from network images that have
|
|
been updated with patches that don't change the product
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 t-robmen Modified MsiSpy to use MsiGetComponentPath instead
|
|
of MsiGetComponentLocation.
|
|
Removed references to INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT as a
|
|
returned value.
|
|
OLE Automation:
|
|
o Added productCode to GetFileInfo and Query Component State
|
|
o Use GetComponentPath instead of GetComponentLocation
|
|
(in the near future GetComponentLocation will be removed)
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 mattwe TestDb: modified the TestDB service to uninstall
|
|
as expected, as well as not to be deleted during an
|
|
install if it already exists. (It used to delete it,
|
|
and then install it fresh. Now it just re-configures
|
|
what is already there.)
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 mattwe Rollback: Registry keys and files/folders will now
|
|
preserve security settings during a remove/rollback.
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 mattwe Services: you can now "re-configure" pre-existing
|
|
services on a machine, which includes re-installation.
|
|
Additional: Bug #4016, #3645
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 tracyf Darwin now creates a mutex named "__MsiPromptForCD"
|
|
when promping the user to change disks (the mutex is
|
|
closed after the user inserts a new disk, clicks OK
|
|
and Darwin has verified the disk label of the new
|
|
disk, or the user cancels). This allows CD autorun
|
|
applications to determine whether or not to run (or
|
|
disable UI).
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 tracyf New SelectionManager change/feature: If the user
|
|
applies a patch to an install, such that any feature
|
|
currently installed RunFromSource now references one
|
|
or more files that need to be patched, that feature will
|
|
be forced out of the RunFromSource state. This is
|
|
done by defaulting the action state of the feature to
|
|
Advertised, and disallowing RunFromSource as a
|
|
possible install state.
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 tracyf The DiskPrompt message displayed when Darwin needs
|
|
the user to insert a new disk has changed. It is now
|
|
built by treating the imsgPromptForDisk error string,
|
|
combined with the DiskPrompt property, as a
|
|
template, and using the DiskPrompt column of the Media table
|
|
as an argument for the template. A topic is being
|
|
added to the documentation to explain how this works
|
|
(see bug 4031).
|
|
|
|
98-01-26 johndelo Custom actions will now handle the various execution models.
|
|
Actions before InstallValidate will be sequenced twice if
|
|
full UI is used and the service is registered. Mode bits have
|
|
been defined to determine whether the action runs on the
|
|
client or server or both. This required changing the bit
|
|
values for deferred exection and rollback (need to add 768
|
|
if the type value was > 256). CustomAc.doc has been updated
|
|
(on \\JDELO3\MsiDoc and \\XLWEB2\DarwinDoc). TestDB updated.
|
|

|
|
Release 0.10.00.3722
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-01-21 johndelo INSTALLMESSAGE_OUTOFMEMORY replaced by INSTALLMESSAGE_FATALEXIT
|
|
encompassing out of memory, not responding, and premature termination.
|
|
New messages are defined in the Error table for each of these:
|
|
imsgTimeRemaining 16 "Time remaining: {[1] min }[2] sec"
|
|
imsgOutOfMemory 17 "Out of memory. Shutdown other applications before retrying"
|
|
imsgTimedOut 18 "Installer is no longer responding"
|
|
imsgException 19 "Installer terminated prematurely"
|
|
These messages are cached by the UI handler in case fatal exit
|
|
|
|
98-01-21 johndelo New message types may be requested by the external message handler:
|
|
INSTALLMESSAGE_INITIALIZE = 0x0C000000L, // sent prior to UI initialization, no string data
|
|
INSTALLMESSAGE_TERMINATE = 0x0D000000L, // sent after UI termination, no string data
|
|
INSTALLMESSAGE_SHOWDIALOG = 0x0E000000L, // sent prior to display of authored dialog or wizard
|
|
The SHOWDIALOG message passes the name of the action. If this message is handled
|
|
(i.e. doesn't return 0) then the UI dialog or wizard will not be called.
|
|
|
|
98-01-21 johndelo The UI handling of all types and logging is now handled outside
|
|
the engine in its own thread, which is the caller's thread when
|
|
using the install APIs, but which is a child thread when using
|
|
MsiOpenProduct and MsiOpenPackage and the session API functions.
|
|
The UI thread is shared by all engines/installs for the session.
|
|
The UI will time out if the engine thread fails to respond, in
|
|
which case a dialog will be displayed (if not debugging). Out of
|
|
memory will result in a dialog which allows a retry as well.
|
|
Premature termination (i.e. crash) is not handled silently in
|
|
this build. All three failures will result in an error return to
|
|
the caller, but the resource cleanup is not implemented in this build.
|
|
|
|
98-01-21 malcolmh DEV: g_fIsService has been changed to
|
|
g_scServerContext. This will be set to scService if we're running
|
|
as a OLE service, scServer if we're running as an OLE
|
|
server, and scClient in other cases.
|
|
|
|
98-01-21 bench Moved the location of the UpgradeCode information in
|
|
the registry. We no longer register the UpgradeCode
|
|
under the advertised product key. I have added an
|
|
UpgradeCodes key under the Installer key in HKLM.
|
|
Each upgrade code has a key under that, and has a value
|
|
for each product with that upgrade code. Removed the
|
|
UpgradeCode arg from ixoProductPublish/Unpublish and
|
|
added it to ixoProductRegister/Unregister. Bumped
|
|
script version to 10 as a result.
|
|
|
|
98-01-20 t-robmen Modified msispy.cpp and msispyu.cpp to clean up
|
|
major MSIHANDLE leaks (now use PMSIHANDLEs and no longer
|
|
use static MSIHANDLEs in Enum functions)
|
|
Also removed MsiCloseAllHandles() from ~CMsispy which
|
|
was crashing any OLE Automation attempted. MsiSpy
|
|
OLE Automation should work without crashing now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-01-20 mattwe CMsiRegKey: Removed the security descriptors from
|
|
CMsiRegKey.Create() Now, place the security descriptor
|
|
in the CreateChild() call. This allows the registry
|
|
key to get set either from the explicit Create, or
|
|
the implicit AddValue. If specified, this will allow
|
|
overwriting the security of an existing key.
|
|
Note: The CreateChild() without a security descriptor
|
|
will *not* inherit the parent's descriptor.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.3720
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-01-18 bench Added 3 new properties which can be queried with
|
|
MsiGetProductInfo: INSTALLPROPERTY_PACKAGECODE,
|
|
INSTALLPROPERTY_UPGRADECODE and INSTALLPROPERTY_VERSION. All
|
|
are advertised properties.
|
|
|
|
98-01-18 malcolmh We now display progress when copying our database to
|
|
the TEMP directory during first-run. We show
|
|
progress both when copying from a floppy and when doing an
|
|
internet download.
|
|
|
|
98-01-18 malcolmh If you send a "Master Reset" event to the basic UI's
|
|
progress bar, we reset the progress bar UI.
|
|
Previously the UI was reset only upon receipt of a subsequent
|
|
progress report.
|
|
|
|
98-01-17 malcolmh Moved appending of ".msi" or ".msp" from the API to
|
|
msiexec.exe. You have to pass the real file name to
|
|
the API now, but you can leave off the ".msi" or
|
|
".msp" when using msiexec.
|
|
|
|
98-01-17 malcolmh Changed our DebugString function to prepend "MSI: " to
|
|
debug messages if we're running on the client side,
|
|
and "MSI (s): " if we're running in the server.
|
|
|
|
98-01-17 malcolmh We now generate install scripts in the server. Our new
|
|
model allows for three possible configurations:
|
|
|
|
1) The entire install is run in the client space; we
|
|
never connect to the server.
|
|
|
|
We do this when the server is not registered. We'll
|
|
probably eventually always do this on Win95.
|
|
|
|
2) The entire intall is run on the server.
|
|
|
|
We do this when the UI level is Basic or None. In
|
|
this case the only thing running on the client side
|
|
is the Basic UI.
|
|
|
|
3) We run part of the install on the client and part on
|
|
the server.
|
|
|
|
We do this when we can connect to the server and the
|
|
UI level is reduced or full. In this case when a
|
|
sequence is run we process all actions through
|
|
InstallValidate on the client side. We then shift
|
|
to the server and run all actions from the beginning
|
|
of the sequence through ExecuteFinalize. We then
|
|
shift back to the client and run all actions after
|
|
ExecuteFinalize.
|
|
|
|
When we're running in this configuration certain
|
|
actions behave differently, and we skip all UI
|
|
actions. What we do differently when we're on the
|
|
server side:
|
|
|
|
- We don't cost.
|
|
- We don't do appsearch (NYI)
|
|
- We do a quicker CCP check (NYI)
|
|
- We don't reboot; the reboot status is
|
|
propagated back to the client side, which
|
|
will trigger the reboot.
|
|
|
|
As usual, I print out debug strings indicating when
|
|
we switch to the server and when we switch back in case
|
|
you're curious.
|
|
|
|
98-01-17 malcolmh Added reboot handling for child installs. The child
|
|
propagates its reboot status to the parent. The
|
|
parent will treat a child's reboot status just as it does
|
|
it's own. If a child returns saying it wants to
|
|
reboot now then the parent will reboot now, otherwise the
|
|
parent will wait until it's done and then reboot.
|
|
|
|
TESTING: I mucked with the code for reboot handling
|
|
and suspended installs. Regressions is advised.
|
|
|
|
98-01-17 malcolmh Automation changes: Added MsiConman.DoInstall.
|
|
Changed return value for MsiEngine.Terminate to an
|
|
iesEnum. See help file for details.
|
|
|
|
98-01-16 bench Added support for the UpgradeCode property. The
|
|
UpgradeCode is a guid that represents a set of products.
|
|
This property isn't used anywhere yet but if it is
|
|
defined in the Property table it is registered in the
|
|
product's advertised information. Added the
|
|
UpgradeCode to ixoProductPublish and ixoProductUnpublish and
|
|
bumped the script version to 9 as a result.
|
|
|
|
98-01-16 tracyf To prevent bug 3885 from locking up the install
|
|
process, the palette switching code in the Handler has
|
|
been temporarily disabled. As soon as the palette bug
|
|
is resolved, this code will be turned back on. Until
|
|
the true bug is fixed, the side effect will be that
|
|
bitmaps rendered in Darwin dialogs may be drawn with
|
|
improper colors, if any other application changes the
|
|
standard system palette.
|
|
|
|
98-01-16 tracyf Implemented detection of components containing files
|
|
that are either patchable or compressed in the source
|
|
image. Any component containing files fitting these
|
|
categories are now prevented from being installed
|
|
RunFromSource (i.e. the SelectionManager's GetFeatureValidStates
|
|
routine will never return icaBitSource for these components).
|
|
|
|
98-01-16 mattwe Fixed admin installs to NOT install services or
|
|
place security descriptors.
|
|
|
|
98-01-16 mattwe Updated ServiceControl.Events to support Uninstall
|
|
only actions. Now, to install/uninstall a service,
|
|
you use the ServiceInstall table, and add an entry
|
|
to the ServiceControl table to delete it during
|
|
uninstall. This gives you full control over
|
|
services outside your install as well.
|
|
|
|
98-01-16 tracyf In an effort to give *Sequence table merging a
|
|
fighting chance, all built-in Darwin actions have been
|
|
given "recommended" sequence values, as demonstrated
|
|
in the new versions of template.msi and testdb.msi
|
|
(see the InstallSequence, AdvtSequence, and
|
|
AdminSequence tables). The convention to be documented
|
|
for authors is that Darwin reserves all numbers that are
|
|
multiples of 10 for built-in actions (the standard actions
|
|
have been renumbered using increments of 100, and any new
|
|
build-in actions in the future will be inserted in the
|
|
appropriate place using values such as 140, 850, etc).
|
|
Authors should use these values for all standard actions,
|
|
and numbers ending in non-zero digits for custom actions
|
|
(again, see testdb.msi for examples of custom action
|
|
sequencing). If these conventions are followed for all
|
|
products intending to merge databases, all sequence tables
|
|
should merge together without problems.

Release 0.10.00.3716
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-01-15 bench Added the ixoDatabasePatch script operation for use in admin
|
|
install patching. The script version was bumped to 8 to
|
|
accomodate this addition.
|
|
|
|
98-01-15 bench Added support for patching admin installs. To patch an admin
|
|
install you may either
|
|
|
|
1) call msiexec.exe /p [patch package path] /n [admin database path]
|
|
|
|
2) call MsiApplyPatch(szPatch,szAdminDb,eNetworkImage,szCmdLine)
|
|
|
|
98-01-15 bench Added two arguments to MsiApplyPatch: szProduct and eInstallType.
|
|
These two arguments describe the product to be patched.
|
|
eInstallType defines the type of install
|
|
(network, local, advertised) and szProduct defines
|
|
the product code/descriptor/package path for the product.
|
|
Currently only the patching of network installs is supported.
|
|
|
|
98-01-15 bench Changed the package code (was product code) summary
|
|
information values for each released database
|
|
(testdb, schema, simple, msispy, etc..) to remove the
|
|
product version. This data is curently ignored by Darwin.
|
|
|
|
98-01-14 chetanp In order to allow the author to make permanent
|
|
components that do not have a file as their key path, the
|
|
"permanent" bit has been shifted to the
|
|
Component.Attributes column (the icaPermanent bit). We no longer
|
|
honour the iffPermanent bit from the File.Attributes
|
|
column for component permanency from the database
|
|
versions 23 onwards (we still honour the bit if you are
|
|
running an older database with the latest darwin).
|
|
|
|
98-01-14 chetanp The RunFromSource columns in Feature and Component
|
|
tables are now renamed to Attributes. This required
|
|
the database version to be bumped to 23. However we
|
|
still run with the old databases.
|
|
|
|
98-01-14 chetanp Changed SharedDll refcounting scheme for locally
|
|
installed component with key files.
|
|
Previously we used to refcount the key file of every
|
|
locally installed component (which has a file as the
|
|
key path) with the Shared Dll registry to ensure
|
|
sharing with non-darwin installations. This leads to
|
|
bloating of the registry since most of the components are
|
|
actually private to the product.
|
|
|
|
Now -
|
|
|
|
1. Whenever darwin installs a component locally, we
|
|
check to see if the key file of the component is
|
|
refcounted in the Shared Dll registry. If, yes we
|
|
increment the refcount to include ourselves (, otherwise we
|
|
do not refcount the component). We also make note of
|
|
whether we have refcounted the component (using a
|
|
special token within the key path registered in the
|
|
Darwin configuration information).
|
|
2. Whenever the product wishes to uninstall a local
|
|
component, we check if we have registered the
|
|
component in the Shared Dll registry. If yes, we decrement
|
|
the Shared Dll registry refcount for the key file. If
|
|
the refcount for the key file is greater then zero,
|
|
then we do not uninstall the component.
|
|
3. The above strategy breaks in the scenario where a
|
|
component is installed by Darwin, then by a
|
|
non-darwin installation and then the non-darwin installation
|
|
uninstalls. This will uninstall the component, since
|
|
there is no refcount for the Darwin install. This will
|
|
break the Darwin installed product (unless it is
|
|
using JIT and Darwin where we would simply reinstall the
|
|
component). To overcome this problem Darwin
|
|
provides the author with the "icaSharedDllRefCount" bit in
|
|
the Component.Attributes (RunFromSource) column. If
|
|
the author sets this bit for a component Darwin will
|
|
always refcount the component with the Shared Dll
|
|
registry irrespective of any existing recount.
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-01-14 malcolmh The FileName column of the RemoveFile table is now
|
|
nullable.
|
|
|
|
98-01-14 malcolmh Changed args to Conman.Registerfolder and
|
|
conman.IsFolderRemovable. See help/typelib for details.
|
|
|
|
98-01-14 malcolmh IxoFolderCreate and IxoFolderRemove no longer take a
|
|
component code. Instead they take a bool indicating
|
|
whether the folder is foreign (i.e. explicitly
|
|
authored to be created/removed). Bumped the script version.
|
|
|
|
98-01-14 t-robmen Created different _Summary.idt files for each type
|
|
of msispy.mis build possible [ship,debug,alpha] that
|
|
correctly reflect build type
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.3714
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-01-14 t-robmen Discovered that some files were named incorrectly or
|
|
missing from %DARWIN%\src\tools\spy\idt
|
|
Removed: ActionText.idt, Directoy.idt, Extension.idt,
|
|
TestStyle.idt, Error.idt
|
|
Added: _Summary.idt, ActionTe.idt, AdvtSequ.idt,
|
|
ControlC.idt, ControlE.idt, Director.idt, EventMap.idt,
|
|
Extensio.idt, InstallS.idt, PublishC.idt,
|
|
RadioBut.idt, TextStyl.idt
|
|
|
|
98-01-13 malcolmh Fixed view object to support IS NULL and IS NOT NULL
|
|
on object fields.
|
|
|
|
98-01-13 malcolmh The RemoveFiles action now support removing
|
|
author-specific folders. These folders are specified in the
|
|
RemoveFiles table, just like files are, but with a
|
|
NULL FileName. The author-specific folders are removed
|
|
after the removal of author-specific files, and after
|
|
removal of the files installed by InstallFiles. A
|
|
folder is only removed if it is empty. The RemoveFiles
|
|
actions triggers the folder removal by generating an
|
|
ixoFolderRemove opcode.
|
|
|
|
98-01-13 malcolmh I think the full UI should work now. I've removed
|
|
GetComponentPath from the IMsiServer interface. It's
|
|
now a global function. I've re-enabled running the UI
|
|
in a separate thread. TESTING: GetComponentPath is no
|
|
longer a method of MsiServer or MsiConfigurationManager.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
Release 0.10.00.3713
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-01-13 johndelo Separate UI thread logic is disabled in this build only,
|
|
to allow fullUI with the service. However, problems will
|
|
exist with nested installs and custom actions. This has
|
|
been fixed and all will be operational in the next build.
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 johndelo Full UI does not work with the service registered for
|
|
this build, due to RPC problems. The UI runs in a single
|
|
thread which allows UI from nested installs and custom
|
|
actions but currently gives problems when the handler
|
|
calls to the engine which then does RPC to the service.
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 mattwe Internet download: Modified volume and path
|
|
objects with minimal URL support. These are meant to be
|
|
sources, not destinations, so most APIs will return
|
|
errors with a URL volume. Automation forthcoming for
|
|
new methods. Modem support and progress/cancel coming.
|
|
You can now specify a URL on the command line for a
|
|
package to install.
|
|
Example: msiexec /i
|
|
http://phoenix.csc.calpoly.edu/~mwetmore/testdb/testdb.msi
|
|
(Try it, it works! Currently only the "typical" install
|
|
source is actually up on that server.)
|
|
|
|
Should see no net change to functionality to non URL paths.
|
|
|
|
TESTING: watch those path/volume tests/benchmarks, please.
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 malcolmh Fixed bug 3814. Transforms are again being cached in
|
|
the user profile.
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 malcolmh Fixed bugs 3847, 3861, 3863, 3864, 3865. These were
|
|
all regressions caused by recent code changes, mostly
|
|
related to SQUIDs.
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 malcolmh Fixed bug 3829. The Engine.Initialize automation function
|
|
now defaults to iuiBasic if you don't specify a UI level
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 t-robmen Modified %DARWIN%\src\makefile to build
|
|
%DARWIN\data\msispy.msi - x86 ship
|
|
%DARWIN\data\msispyd.msi - x86 debug
|
|
%DARWIN\data\msispya.msi - alpha ship
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 tracyf Changed the name of the Directory_Configurable
|
|
column in the Feature table to "Directory_" (the old name
|
|
will still work for a while).
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 bench Updated MsiTran.Exe to accept validation bits used
|
|
to validate transforms before applying them. See
|
|
command line help for more info.
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 t-robmen Added %DARWIN%\src\tools\spy\idt directory and
|
|
subdirectories.
|
|
The included files are used to create the
|
|
installation database for MsiSpy (msispy.msi)
|
|
during the build process
|
|
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 bench Added support for a "package code" or rather allowing
|
|
a different guid in the summary info of a package than
|
|
the product code. The guid in the package is now the
|
|
"package code" and may not necessarily equal the product
|
|
code. Also, the product version is no longer appended to the
|
|
guid in the summary info. We now register the "package code"
|
|
under HKCR\Installer\Packages and for each product
|
|
register the code of the package the product was
|
|
installed from.
|
|
|
|
98-01-12 bench fixed bugs 3850-3852. We now properly handle validating
|
|
transforms that change the product code and product version.

|
|
Release 0.10.00.3709
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
98-01-08 johndelo Logging can be specified only via MsiEnableLog.
|
|
(MsiExec /L simply uses this API). The properties
|
|
LOGFILE and LOGMODE are no longer supported.
|
|
Logging is per-process, independent of the
|
|
particular package or engine instance. Provided
|
|
logging is enabled, the property LOGACTION allows a
|
|
particular set of actions to be logged for a product.
|
|
|
|
98-01-08 chetanp fixed Darwin bug (3803) that registers run-from
|
|
source file in the Shared Dll registry.
|
|
|
|
98-01-08 chetanp changed ixfFeaturePublish/ ixfFeatureUnpublish
|
|
opcode to have a separate Absent flag.
|
|
|
|
98-01-08 chetanp implemented GUID squishing. We now store all
|
|
(internal) Darwin GUIDs - Product Ids, Component Id, Patch
|
|
Id, Qualified Component Ids, and the GUIDs in Darwin
|
|
Descriptors as SQUIDs (GUIDs squished to 20
|
|
characters) in the registry. Though this should not affect any
|
|
of the API tests, this would mean that test/tool that
|
|
itself looks around for Darwin GUIDs in the registry
|
|
would fail. Use the RunScrpt.exe tool to Pack and Unpack
|
|
GUIDs via script, using the PackGuid and UnpackGuid functions.
|
|
|
|
98-01-08 malcolmh Implemented TransformsAtSource. Transforms are not
|
|
cached, but assumed to be at the source, if any of the
|
|
following conditions are true: 1) you set the
|
|
TRANSFORMSATSOURCE property, 2) you specify an '@' at the
|
|
beginning of your list of transforms, or 3) when
|
|
executing the script we see that you have a
|
|
TransformsAtSource policy value set to 1.
|
|
|
|
98-01-08 malcolmh msiexec /P is now used to invoke a patch. msiexec /I
|
|
is now used to install. /X and /I will now accept
|
|
product codes, making the previous /T and /C obsolete.
|
|
/T is now used for transforms and /C has been
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
98-01-08 malcolmh The /A (Advertise) parameter to msiexec now takes a
|
|
Transforms list and a lanGuage, specified with the /T
|
|
and /G switches, respectively.
|
|
|
|
98-01-07 bench Renamed the AdminInstallFinalize action to
|
|
InstallAdminPackage. This is because the action should
|
|
come before InstallFiles, so we didn't want to give the
|
|
notion that the action should "finalize" anything.
|
|
The AdminInstallFinalize action will stay around for 30 days
|
|
and currently just calls the InstallAdminPackage action.
|
|
Also updated testdb.msi, template.msi, etc...
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh Added /L as a switch to msiexec. This sets the log mode
|
|
by calling MsiEnableLog. Syntax: /L[<logmodes>] <log file>
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh Added INSTALLPROPERTY_VOLUMEPREFERENCE to the list
|
|
of properties exposed by MsiGetProductInfo.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh The product code in the summary info stream *must* match
|
|
the one in the property table or you won't be able
|
|
to run maintenance mode. This will remain true until
|
|
we introduce the notion of a "package code".
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh The script version has been bumped to 6 as a result of
|
|
source management opcodes changes.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh We now cache an MSI to the temp dir whenever we realize
|
|
that the database we're running from isn't the cached db
|
|
for the product.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh (dev concern only) IPROPNAME_ORIGINALDATABASE now contains
|
|
the launched-from database in maintenance-mode if there is
|
|
one (previously it contained the cached db).
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh MsiGetComponentPath now returns the actual
|
|
installstate for installed components (INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL/SOURCE)
|
|
instead of INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh Removed 'advertise' section from validation and changed msival
|
|
accordingly. The schema's _InstallSequence table has been changed
|
|
to reflect this.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh The minimum disk ID in the media table has been changed from 0
|
|
to 1. Validation has been updated to reflect this.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh Moved PublishProduct, PublishComponents, PublishFeatures,
|
|
RegisterProduct to just before ExecuteFinalize.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh The DiskPrompt property is now used as a template. For each disk
|
|
the prompt from the media table is inserted into the DiskPrompt
|
|
property's [1] parameter. The result is used in the
|
|
"Please insert..." string that's in the error table.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh Source management:
|
|
|
|
- The UI's RFS icons now represent the actual source type
|
|
during first-run and the type of the LastUsedSource in
|
|
maintenance-mode.
|
|
|
|
- We now publish the source list only when we publish
|
|
the product (i.e. at advertise time or first-run if
|
|
no advertisement has taken place)
|
|
|
|
- When we publish the source list we also now attempt
|
|
to divine the media package path for the MSI at this
|
|
time if we're running from media and the
|
|
MediaPackagePath property is not set.
|
|
|
|
- When we publish the source list we implictly add the
|
|
source you're running from as a source for the product.
|
|
|
|
- If we're not advertising then we if we've resolved the
|
|
source (i.e. SOURCEDIR is set) then we set the resolved
|
|
source as the Last Used source for the product.
|
|
|
|
- We bypass source resolution if we're not running from
|
|
the cached database. This is because the source we've been
|
|
launched from has be a valid source, so we use it.
|
|
|
|
- Run-from-source components are now source resilient. We'll
|
|
find a valid source for them whenever their path is need.
|
|
We cache the most recent source in-memory, and we try
|
|
this source first, followed by the raw LastUsedSource,
|
|
before we fall back to our standard source resolution mechanism.
|
|
|
|
- The ixfSourceListMediaPublish opcode has been removed. Its
|
|
functionality is now in ixfSourceListPublish.
|
|
|
|
- The ixfSourceListRegisterLastUsed opcode has been added.
|
|
See msiauto.hlp.
|
|
|
|
- The ixfSourceListPublish opcode's arguments have changed
|
|
to accommodate media sources. See msiauto.hlp.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh ixfDatabaseCache now first removes any existing cached package
|
|
for the product before it caching the one given to it.
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh Component registration changes:
|
|
|
|
- We no longer have an explicit state key for the component
|
|
state. We now derive this from the key file format.
|
|
|
|
- Run-from-source component format for key files and folders
|
|
has changed. We now store two digits followed by the relative
|
|
path of the component from the root of the source. The
|
|
two digits indicate the disk ID of the disk containing files
|
|
for this component.
|
|
|
|
- The component format for registry keys has changed.
|
|
We now store two digits followed by a colon followed by the
|
|
subkey. The two digits indicate the hive. For run-from-source
|
|
components we offset the hive by 50. For example,
|
|
CLASSES_ROOT, which is 0, would be stored as "00" for a local
|
|
component and "50" for a run-from-source component. We remove
|
|
the offset when returning the regkey.
|
|
|
|
- conman.RegisterComponent now takes a disk ID
|
|
|
|
- ixfComponentRegister now takes a disk ID
|
|
|
|
98-01-06 malcolmh Source management: changes were made in the way we
|
|
register sources:
|
|
|
|
- Under the SourceList key:
|
|
- the LastUsedSource value now has a trailing
|
|
backslash
|
|
- we now have a LastUsedIndex and LastUsedType
|
|
|
|
- Under the Net key
|
|
- we now use numbers instead of letters for
|
|
the indexes
|
|
- we now store a single form of net paths (no
|
|
more drive letter & UNC form)
|
|
|
|
- Under the Media key
|
|
- we now have a DiskPrompt value
|

98-01-02 chetanp Added support for registering and managing disabled
|
|
components in Darwin.
|
|
Following is the description of Darwin's behaviour in
|
|
handling disabled components.
|
|
|
|
1. A Darwin component gets disabled when the
|
|
corresponding Component.Condition column evaluates to
|
|
FALSE.
|
|
2. A disabled component is registered with the
|
|
configuration manager with an empty path and a state of
|
|
INSTALLSTATE_NOTUSED (which is defined as a negative
|
|
value in the INSTALLSTATE enum) when a feature that
|
|
contains that component is selected for install.
|
|
3. A feature is published with all the components it
|
|
comprises of, irrespective of whether the individual
|
|
components are enabled or not. This allows a feature
|
|
list to be independant of the machine, since the
|
|
result of evaluating the Component.Condition column may
|
|
vary from machine to machine.
|
|
4. The MsiQueryFeatureState API treats any
|
|
constituent disabled components (in state INSTALLSTATE_NOTUSED)
|
|
the same as INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL. This allows the
|
|
feature state to be determined by the install states of
|
|
enabled components.
|
|
5. The MsiGetComponentPath API returns the true
|
|
install state (INSTALLSTATE_NOTUSED) for a disabled
|
|
component.
|
|
6. The MsiProvideComponent, effectively ignores all
|
|
disabled components (of that or the parent features)
|
|
unless it is requesting a disabled component itself,
|
|
in which case the return is an error -
|
|
ERROR_INSTALL_NOTUSED.
