Although I have not put alot of effort into 'locating the MSI' other than reading this thread, and my original posted location, is there a consensus as to it's location on any language machine AFTER an official installation?

I tried this:

start /wait MSIEXEC/qn "\\server\install\msn\MsnMsgs.msi" IAGREE="YES"

The installation goes threw but I can't find live messenger after the installation.

On one computer the program was installed but without any shortcuts :S

[oskingen]

or start /wait msiexec /q /i Messenger\Install_WLMessenger.msi

Can't find it om my danish windows xp 32bit :S.

have be in all the folder i have see in this topic, and i have search after MsnMsgs.msi

(and i have start the installer´)

[ricktendo]

It will not be named MsnMsgs.msi... It will have a name like

Install_{508CE775-4BA4-4748-82DF-FE28DA9F03B0}.msi

Is there any way to change the msi and make the WLM to autostart but not to open the main window when windows start?

You can add this reg key to the msi (altered when selecting via tools window)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger]
"AppSettings"=hex:42,02,01,00

and the autorun reg key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"msnmsgr"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Windows Live\\Messenger\\msnmsgr.exe\" /background"

I am new to MSI packaging and wondered exactly how you would implement this change using installshield adminstudio.

Can anyone assist?

TIA

The easiest way is to export those registry entries to a file. Then, inside InstallShield (other authoring apps apply too) go to registry and right click the registry hives and select Import REG file.

The program will put those entries in your setup's registry part.
