Ok, I'm working on modifying the msi database and populating things at runtime. Now I've been able to get my combo boxes populated but for some reason I can't get my error boxes not to show up.
This is the code that I'm using.

| if TotalHomes > 0 then Set errortextlist = Database.OpenView("SELECT * FROM `ControlCondition`") errortextlist.Execute Set reclist = Installer.CreateRecord(4) reclist.StringData(1) = "GambroOracle" reclist.StringData(2) = "OracleErrorProduction" reclist.StringData(3) = "Hide" reclist.StringData(4) = "NOT true" errortextlist.Modify msiViewModifyInsertTemporary, reclist Set reclist = Installer.CreateRecord(4) reclist.StringData(1) = "GambroOracle" reclist.StringData(2) = "OracleErrorTraining" reclist.StringData(3) = "Hide" reclist.StringData(4) = "NOT false" errortextlist.Modify msiViewModifyInsertTemporary, reclist Set reclist = Installer.CreateRecord(4) reclist.StringData(1) = "GambroOracle" reclist.StringData(2) = "OracleErrorValdation" reclist.StringData(3) = "Hide" reclist.StringData(4) = "NOT yes" errortextlist.Modify msiViewModifyInsertTemporary, reclist errortextlist.close End if |
The error is as follows:
Internal Error 2835. 3490, GambroOracle
Gambro Oracle is the dialog that has the OracleErrorXXX text boxes.
anyone have any idea how I can get rid of this error ?
Oh, if I change all the third atributes to a single string I no longer get the error. so If I put in "true" "yes" or any other single word in there the problem doesn't show. Then again it doesn't make the text box hidden either.
I also tried to do it an other way;
Code:
| CODE |
| Set propertieslist = Database.OpenView("SELECT * FROM `Property`") propertieslist.Execute Set reclist = Installer.CreateRecord(3) reclist.StringData(1) = "OracleError" reclist.StringData(2) = "True" reclist.StringData(3) = "This property will only be set if there is an Oracle error" propertieslist.Modify msiViewModifyInsertTemporary, reclist propertieslist.close |
and the coresponding condition statement on the dialog
Hide &OracleError = "True"
but yeah, it doesn't have the intended effect. When I manually set an entry for OracleError in the Property table I get an error from the script. So it is creating the entry, it just doesn't seem to be reading it.
If anyone knows a way around this, or an other way to deal w/ this please let me know.
Thanks,
Bas

Error 2835: The control [2] was not found on dialog [3]
I don't see what "3490" is doing in the message, maybe the log got confused somewhere.
Anyway, check the spelling of the control names again - esp. the last, "valdation" is not a preferred spelling...

false, true etc. are not constants that make any sense to Windows Installer. (They are seen as properties with these names).
Use 0 instead of false and 1 instead of true.
Another option would be to use a condition like OracleError=1 and in your custom action (instead of adding rows to the Property table) set the property. In VBScript it would look like this:
Session.Property("OracleError")=1
In other programming languages use the MsiSetProperty API.
