Hey all,
I'm new to MSI installers, I've done some Installscript installers but hardly any MSI packages.
I have create basic MSI packages before, to install printer drivers using the driver wizard. This is ok for Plug and Play installs.
But we want to create an MSI installer to install a printer to a specific IP port that will need to be created. With the IP address to be supplied at run time (I think by command line argument is best)
I have VBScripts that install IP ports and drivers but I don't know how to pass an argument via MSI.

| CODE |
| dim oMaster dim oPort set oPort = CreateObject("Port.Port.1") set oMaster = CreateObject("PrintMaster.PrintMaster.1") oPort.PortName = "IP_10.18.207.84" oPort.PortType = 1 oPort.HostAddress = "10.18.207.84" oPort.PortNumber = 9100 oPort.SNMP = true oPort.SNMPDeviceIndex = 2 oPort.CommunityName = "public" oPort.QueueName = "Queue" oPort.DoubleSpool = false oMaster.PortAdd oPort |
Note the oPort.PortName & HostAddress will need to be passed as an argument and read into this script.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA!

Managed to get it working!!
I created 2 Properties PORTNAME and HOSTADDRESS and created a custom action to set these (I set them blank)
Then within the scripts I used Session.Property("<propery name>") where needed.
Then using the following on a command line:
msiexec /i Driverinstall.msi PORTNAME=IPPort HOSTADDRESS=10.18.207.84"
The 2 properties got set and the scripts worked!
Hope this helps someone in the future....
