Hi there,

I alreadly read lot of replies.
seems that IS DEV doesn't support or nobody knows:
in Dev 8, how to pass data into one-click setup from web, and pass data back to server.

These can be done easily in IS Prof 7.

Any guru/MVP/Traing Teacher knows, could you send me a brief sample like what do in web and
what do in IS. I am new at IS DEV.

thanks a lot

You can pass data into a setup by using global properties inside windows installer. I am pretty sure that this will work on the web as well.

Passing data out can only be achived by collecting the data you want and storing it somewhere during the install.

A web install is virtually the same as a normal install. You should be able to pass in the parameters to msiexec.

Below in an example from the MSI SDK.

<script LANGUAGE="VBScript">
<!--
Dim Installer
On Error Resume Next
set Installer=CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Installer.InstallProduct "http://server/share/package.msi", "PROPERTY=VALUE "
set Installer=Nothing
-->
</SCRIPT>
