Fixing an MSI installer


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to edit the install paths in an MSI installer without having a full developer's IDE?

I'd like to change the default install path to a location of my choosing. I can't fix the paths in the Registry after a default install because there are some keys created in HKLM that can not be edited because they are 'in use' and locked.

Also, one of my MSI files (Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer) does not give me a choice of where to install it when manually setting it up (unlike the viewers for Word and Excel which do give you a browse dialog to choose your location). The PowerPoint viewer also does not respond to unattended install switches, so I'd like to fix this issue at the same time that I specify the default path.
