Hi, During patch removal I need to retrieve some properties of the Patch being removed. For this purpose I created immidiate Custom action with flag msidbCustomActionTypePatchUninstal.
In this action I try to query table MsiTransformView<PatchGuid> for values of some properties but the query fails with "Bad query syntax" error. The query I use is "SELECT Data FROM MsiTransformView<PatchGuid> WHERE `Table`='Property'. After some investigation it turns out that the table MsiTransformView<PatchGuid> is created without column names. (The function MsiViewGetColumnInfo(..., MSICOLINFO_NAMES,...) that being run on view created with query SELECT * form MsiTransformView<PatchGuid> returns record with 5 empty fields). So my questions are: 1. Did somebody face the same problem? 2. Is there a confirmed defect from Microsoft? 3. Is there any possibility to query data with direct query or every time all records form the table should be cycled? Thank you. -- Regards, Fyodor Koryazhkin.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
