I don't do much with advertise so I can't offer any insight there but the default way a user would run your installer is in the UI sequence (double click on setup.exe and go to town) There are 3 modes or sequences, UI, Execution, and Advertise. Scheduling is really fancy way of saying "in what order should this action happen relative to all the other actions in the installer".Ī sequence is a group of actions that are scheduled to run during different modes of operation of your install. This is usually very strait forward so long as you understand the scheduling involved. Method 1: Basic MSI: Use a Set Directory CA. When I know the location at runtime, I set the folder location in one of two ways (depending on project type) Remember the user is only setting the parent location and not dictating how your files are deployed. I then add components to static paths below this folder. This folder is something logically named and at the same level as INSTALLDIR and all the other predefined locations. I create a new root folder in the folder list. In your case, instead of searching for values, you would set values that the user provides. I search for some registry values and set the paths once found. Most of these are not changeable by the user but are not known until runtime. I have the need to have one or many install paths in my installations. Depending on the project type and your installer design you will need to do different things.
