GurliGebis Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Is there some way to integrate a msp patch into a msi package?I think I have done it before, but cannot remember how to do it, other then that I used msiexec to do it.(I want to integrate patch 11 for Mcafee Virusscan 8.0i into the installer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I know nothing of Mcafee.To slipstream am MSP into an MSI .... use this syntax:msiexec /p [path\name of update MSP file]/a [path\name of MSI file] SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /L* [path\name of log file]example:msiexec /p OUTLFLTR.msp /a d:\office\pro11.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb /l* install.logThe following describes the command-line options. /p Enables Windows Installer to apply an update to an existing installation. /a Enables Windows Installer to perform an administrative installation of a product on a network share.SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE Directs Windows Installer to create all file names and folders withMS-DOS-compatible file names. Required when you run Windows Installer from the command line./qb Sets the user interface to the basic level (simple progress and error handling). /L* Turns on logging and sets a path for the log file. The * flag causes the switch to log all information. shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GurliGebis Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 The problem with that is, that it creates alot of files, and folders.I want ONLY the MSI file patched, and not an administrative intall.Is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark007 Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'm quite sure that to integrate an MSP you must 1st create an administrative install pointfrom the original msi. syntax: msiexec /a original.msi.Then integrate the MSP, and repackage the product if required.Quite often, an administrative install ultimately uses less space than the original installerwhen repackaged with high compression.(although i may be wrong)shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acheron Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 You can use wimakcab.vbs to rebuild the msi installer.It is part of the Windows SDK:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa368616%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
