Hi,

i use Wfwi 4.2 and 'd like to update an install with a .exe including the command 'msiexec /p patch.msp /REINSALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=os'...

How can i do ???

Wfwi just offers the .msp extension.

Thanks.

Hello,

one possibility is to use InstallShield's PackageForTheWeb.

You just need to create a batch file containing the command line and launch this batch from inside the archive.

Alternatively you may use some compressor which supports calling a program after decompression (e.g. WinZip SelfExtractor).

HTH,
Jan

you could use vb 6 to wrap the MSIExec command line....

you could use a .BAT/.CMD file to wrap the command line and then compile with the BAT2EXE programme...
