Installer 3.1

[Guest]

Hi

We need to have SQL server Express 5.0 running on our Embedded system. But
to install it we have to install Windows installer 3.1

The installer componenet is for V3.0

Is there a componenet for installer 3.1 (perhaps in FP2007)

If not how can i create a component for installer 3.1, I'll happliy share
it with others.

Kevin,

There is a new Windows Installer Service that comes with FP2007. It is v3.1.4000.1823.
While in SP2 (more updated that in SP1) it was only 3.0.3790.2180.

So you can either:
- Wait for official FP2007 release and meanwhile use CTP of FP
- Create you own component for the new Installer (just copy component implementation from FP - very easy with Component
Designer - files, registry entries, resources and dependencies)).
- You can always install new version 3.1 at runtime with its own installer which is available somewhere on Microsoft website.
(search Microsoft.com, MSDN or Google). If done properly, it is definitely going to work for you on SP2 image.

I do it at the first boot:

if exist WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe start /wait
WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /passive /norestart /overwriteoem
/nobackup
