change Install Source ?
hello,
I would like to know the method which makes it possible to change the way of the source of the package?
Because if I install a package of C:\packagedirectory\package.msi, I would wish that the calls to the source be done on a share network.
That can arrive when part of the application settles in the profile running and that one changes user and thus profile.
I find INSTALLSOURCE in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{xxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxx}\InstallSource = C:\packagedirectory\
If I change the value of this key by \\server\share\packagedirectory\ the application continuous to seek the source on C:\packagedirectory\…
Thank you for your assistance.

Add the property SOURCELIST to the Property table and add the path where you want it to search for.
If you have more than one sources use ; to separate them.
Hope this helps

Thank you for your answer,
But, i set SOURCELIST=\\serveur\share\packagedirectory\ in Property and it's doesn't work.. i look at registry, the package dont create the string "HKey Classes Root\Installer\Products\[ProductCode]\SourceList=\\server\share\packagedirectory\"
I create the string "HKey Classes Root\Installer\Products\[ProductCode]\SourceList=\\server\share\packagedirectory\" it's still doesn't work.

The registry should look something like (bellow) when the SOURCELIST has been uppdated
SourceList\LastUsedSource (REG_EXPAND_SZ) = n;1;\\server\share\packagedirectory\
SourceList\Net\1 (REG_EXPAND_SZ) = \\server\share\packagedirectory\
SourceList\LastUsedSource (REG_EXPAND_SZ) = n;1;\\server\share\packagedirectory\
SourceList\Net\1 (REG_EXPAND_SZ) = \\server\share\packagedirectory\

I've this:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\3048EFD73C3DEA749B250BB825C98E58\SourceList\LastUsedSource (REG_EXPAND_SZ) = n;1;C:\Package\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\3048EFD73C3DEA749B250BB825C98E58\SourceList\Media\1 (REG_SZ)= DISK1;1
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\3048EFD73C3DEA749B250BB825C98E58\SourceList\Media\DiskPrompt (REG_SZ) = [1]
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\3048EFD73C3DEA749B250BB825C98E58\SourceList\Net\1 (REG_EXPAND_SZ) = C:\Package\
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\3048EFD73C3DEA749B250BB825C98E58\SourceList\Net\2 [REG_EXPAND_SZ) = \\server\packages$\_DEV\package
When i delete the package from C:\Package\package.msi, reboot and logon with other user profil. the messagebox ask me to find source and propose :
1) C:\package
2) \\server\packages$\_DEV\package
If i select answer 2, it's doesn't work...

if you are using windows installer 3.0 or later you also have the option of using the windows installer api to change the sourcelist after deployment.
have a look at WindowsInstaller.Installer in the sdk.
example follows.
set objInstaller = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
objInstaller.ClearSourceList "{ProductCode for app}"
objInstaller.AddSource "{ProductCode for app},"", "New source location as UNC"

Hello,
It's all right, i try on physical computer (before i only try on VMWARE) and it's working ;o) with SOURCELIST property.
Jmcfadyen, for your solution i must use a CUSTOM ACTION ?
Thank you all ;o)
