Implementing a Windows Installer Validation Engine in VB6 - Part II

A while back, I posted a code sample on my blog that demonstrated how to implement MsiSetExternalUI in VB6.  That post certainly got a lot of hits, but there was a catch that quickly came back to haunt me.  The sample I provided worked like a champ in the VB6 IDE, but caused your app to crash when it was compiled.  I promised to provide an update, and while it is pretty late, here it is!

Hello,

I am working on the windows installer - particularly the validation part.

I am facing a problem - when i came across your blog and thought of requesting help from an expert. Hope you won't mind my asking you here on the blog.

the specific question is - if i install an msi and the try opening it again using MsiOpenPackage - should it work or not? If not why? If yes - why is it giving an error at my end? It fails giving ERROR_PRODUCT_VERSION.


Thanks
Bijoy.
