Re: [NAnt-users] How do I remove a standard dialog/sequence with MSI Task?

[William_Martin]

According to the documentation, you should be setting the value attribute
to Null, not 0.  0 will just determine the order the sequence steps get
executed in.  Try value="" instead.
If that doesn't work, there are two other ways of doing this that I can
think of:
1) Do what I did and create your own template without the dialogs.  You
can copy the template that ships with the <msi> task and edit in Orca
(Note that's the Microsoft msi editor, NOT Orcas, the VS Beta!) to remove
the dialogs and associated sequences from the database.  You can then set
this file as the base template with the template attribute on your <msi>
task.
2) Disable the sequence steps you don't want by setting the condition
attribute to something that always evaluates to False, such as 1=0.  This
will cause the sequence step to be skipped when the msi is executed.
HTH,

Subject: [NAnt-users] How do I remove a standard dialog/sequence with MSI
Task?

It looks like I should set the sequence value to 0 (null) like so:

<sequence type="installui" action="WelcomeDlg" value="0" />
<sequence type="adminui" action="AdminWelcomeDlg" value="0" />

But this is not working. I get the error:

Unable to build Installer database 'vip.svmotion-bin-0.9.23.18.msi'.
     Modify,Mode,Record

Basically I want the installer to just install the files. I don't care  
about the license, the welcome, the dir location. How do I strip out  
those standard dialogs?
