I am posting this as a different topic for I got the answers I needed from
the other post regarding basic msp stuff. I've narrowed down the specific
problem I am having with my upgrade.
The project (Attached) has a section that writes UI data (from a custom
window) to an INI file.
<Component Id="IniSettings_ORA"
Guid="680F574C-3A78-4C45-ACBF-D12A80D675B0">
<IniFile Id="TABWARE.INI.DbItem"
Action="addLine" Key="Database1" Name="TABWARE.INI" Section="database"
Directory="VersionDir" Value="[DATABASE_DISPLAY1]" />
<IniFile Id="TARGETDIR.INI.DbVendor"
Action="addLine" Key="Vendors" Name="TABWARE.INI"
Section="[DATABASE_DISPLAY1]" Directory="VersionDir" Value="Oracle" />
<IniFile Id="TABWARE.INI.DBMS"
Action="addLine" Key="DBMS" Name="TABWARE.INI" Section="[DATABASE_DISPLAY1]"
Directory="VersionDir" Value="O[DBVERS]0" />
<IniFile Id="TABWARE.INI.ServerName"
Action="addLine" Key="ServerName" Name="TABWARE.INI"
Section="[DATABASE_DISPLAY1]" Directory="VersionDir" Value="[SERVER_NAME]"
/>
<IniFile Id="TABWARE.INI.TabVendor"
Action="addLine" Key="TabVendor" Name="TABWARE.INI"
Section="[DATABASE_DISPLAY1]" Directory="VersionDir" Value="oracle" />
<IniFile Id="TABWARE.INI.DbItem_blank"
Action="addLine" Key="'=====" Name="TABWARE.INI"
Section="[DATABASE_DISPLAY1]" Directory="VersionDir" Value="=====" />
<Condition>(DBTYPE = 2 AND (DATABASE_NAME
<> "" AND DATABASE_NAME <> " " ) ) AND UILevel >
3</Condition>
<CreateFolder />
</Component>
<Component Id="IniSettings_ORA_test"
Guid="97DA8A36-B721-48EF-BBBC-A5B24A87F31B">
<IniFile Id="TABWARE.INI.DbItem_test"

<IniFile Id="TARGETDIR.INI.DbVendor_test"

When the install is run as a full UI install the custom window appears, data
is entered, the ini file is written to and all is well.
When an upgrade is created (or I try an full install in passive mode) and
run in /passive I get a 2109 error on this component. The error states:
MSI (s) (08:34) [17:02:57:968]: Product: TabWare Xi 8.201 -- The installer
has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may
indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2109. The arguments
are: , ,
What seems to be happening is that since there is no user input, the "code"
that attempts to create a section with user data fails. If I run the
upgrade with a UI it will work, but then the uninstall fails. Hard code
something and it may work, but that is not a reasonable option.
I already altered the condition to test for UILevel and that did not work, I
still get the error. I wonder if installer tries to resolve the section
name before testing the condition? Time constraints and skill effect me
trying to write a custom action at this time.
What I am trying to do is understand why my condition wont work and is there
an internal property value I can use that will allow the installer to skip
over these components. I got everything else to work, but this condition.
(I inherited this project, starting from zero knowledge last month). I
included the project and the log file. I hate to be a bother, but time
constraints were placed that limit my options. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
