It turns out I need to execute another view (an update view) once I've found
the record I'm interested in. Here is the code in all its glory for those who
are curious. Note: This is written as a PowerShell script.
# $packages is a collection of strings representing the path to the MSI
packages to update
# $actionPattern is a wildcard pattern for matching the actions I'm interested
in updating
$PSScriptRoot = Split-Path -Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
$dtfAssembly = Join-Path -Path $PSScriptRoot -ChildPath
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll
Add-Type -Path $dtfAssembly
foreach ($filePath in $packages) {
$databaseInfo = @{
TypeName = 'Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Database'
ArgumentList = @( $filePath,
[Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.DatabaseOpenMode]::Direct )
}
$database = New-Object @databaseInfo
try {
$searchQuery =
$database.Tables['InstallExecuteSequence'].SqlSelectString
$searchView = $database.OpenView($searchQuery)
try {
$searchView.Execute()
for ( $record = $searchView.Fetch() ; $record -ne $null ; $record =
$searchView.Fetch() ) {
try {
$action = $record.GetString('Action')
if ($action -like $actionPattern) {
$updateQuery = "UPDATE InstallExecuteSequence SET
Condition = 'FALSE' WHERE Action = '${action}'"
$updateView = $database.OpenView($updateQuery)
try { $updateView.Execute() } finally { if
($updateView) { $updateView.Close() } }
}
} finally { $record.Close() }
}
} finally { if ($searchView) { $searchView.Close() } }
$database.Commit()
} finally { if ($database) { $database.Close() } }
}
