Hey John, I applied two of the three patches... thanks!
I am holding off on the search patch because I want to redesign how that part of the task works. I want to add support for file, app, ini, and registry searches. Other than that, i added a <summaryinformation> element so that you can specifically define the information in the summary information stream. By default, the summary information stream will still get populated by various properties (ProductName, Manufacturer, etc) if they're defined. Think of the <summaryinformation> element as a way to override those values, if you want. To go along with the summary information thing, I changed the task so that <properties> isn't a required element. This could use some more testing (if a directories or components element is defined and properties isn't), but it should work. anyway, hope that helps Jim On Tue, 8 Mar 2005 16:14:24 -0600, John Cole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry for the cross post, but I'm not sure which list Jim is monitoring :-) > > I've run into an issue with the MSM task and the way it is filling out the > MSM summary table via <properties> See > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1149861&group_id=54 > 790&atid=474851 for a little more detail. > > The end result is that the MSM modules cannot be used in 3rd party apps like > wise or installshield. > > In order to set the msm Summary:Title and Author fields the Property > ProductName and Manufacturer are used and placed in both the Summary and > Property table. > > However if you merge that msm into an msi, the msm ProductName will > overwrite the value in the MSI. > > If you leave the ProductName/Manufacture off, then Wise and InstallShield > won't display any information on the MSM. > > So there should be a way to set the information in the summary table (Title, > Subject, Author, Key Words, Comments, Last Saved By, and Package Code.
