[issue1855] Codepage unset in msilib.init_database()
Jim Wilson wil...@afn.org added the comment: It's been more than a year. I'll work a little longer on the SetProperty(...) example, but here's the confirming evidence. A related problem is 1884, but I simply don't remember the context and long ago deleted the code in disgust. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13999/foo.py ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1855 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue1884] msilib.SetProperty(msilib.PID_CODEPAGE, '1252') raises 0x65d = type mismatch
Jim Wilson wil...@afn.org added the comment: Well, I violated the admonition of the Great Satan: PID_CODEPAGE must be first. (or words to that effect). It turns out not to make a difference. Revised (conforming) source attached. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14003/bar.py ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1884 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1884] msilib.SetProperty(msilib.PID_CODEPAGE, '1252') raises 0x65d = type mismatch
New submission from Jim Wilson: I believe Codepage (a summary property which must be set *before* any other string value), is a string. Documentation admits it might also be an integer, but it doesn't matter. Both foo.SetProperty(PID_CODEPAGE, '1252') and foo.SetProperty(PID_CODEPAGE, 1252) raise unknown error 65d. I believe 0x65d (1629d) to be ERROR_DATATYPE_MISMATCH. -- components: Build messages: 61440 nosy: Jimbo severity: normal status: open title: msilib.SetProperty(msilib.PID_CODEPAGE, '1252') raises 0x65d = type mismatch versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1884 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1854] Broken link in msilib docs
New submission from Jim Wilson: at http://docs.python.org/lib/database-objects.html, under See Also:, the link, MSIOpenView leads nowhere. From earlier reading, I suspect it should be MSIDatabaseOpenView (or perhaps MSIDatabaseOpenViewPaddedOutEvenMoreToMakeYourEyesGlazeOver). -- components: Documentation messages: 59998 nosy: Jimbo severity: minor status: open title: Broken link in msilib docs type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1854 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1855] Codepage unset in msilib.init_database()
New submission from Jim Wilson: At http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367864(VS.85,printer).aspx, Satanic Verses sayeth: The Codepage Summary property must be set before any string properties are set in the summary information., but so far as I can tell, PID_CODEPAGE is never used in msilib.__init__.py, etal.

[issue1825] msilib.add_data() takes exactly three parameters
New submission from Jim Wilson: At: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-msilib.html, add_data(...) is documented to take two parameters, but invoking it with two draws a complaint that three are needed. Examination of bdist_msi.py leads me to believe the missing (middle) parameter is table, but I can barely distinguish a database from a hole in the ground. -- components: Documentation messages: 59909 nosy: Jimbo severity: minor status: open title: msilib.add_data() takes exactly three parameters type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1825 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
