How to generate hash for file
I want to add a non versioned file to an msi using a transform with Inst Ed. I know about the method using WiFilVer.vbs but searching this forum I found another script I just don't know how you are supposed to use it. I do not know VBS.
Dim FilePath : FilePath = WScript.Arguments(0)
Dim Installer : Set Installer = CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Dim Record : Set Record = Installer.FileHash(FilePath, 0)
Dim FileHash : FileHash = Record.StringData(1) & vbTab & Record.StringData(2) & vbTab & Record.StringData(3) & vbTab & Record.StringData(4)
WScript.Echo "FileHash: " & FileHash

Hi Joe,
paste it in a text file with the extension .vbs.
Then remove this leftover from HTML cut and paste:
Save it.
Use it on a command line like this: yourname.vbs filetohash.xxx
That returns the hash in 4 parts.
Put the hash in a new line in the MsiFileHash table.
That's all.
Good luck.
Regards, Nick

As you're already using InstEd:
Right-click the File table entry you want to add an MsiFileHash table entry to and select "Retrieve file details from external source path", make sure to have the source as external prior of doing this.

Thanks Nick, it works great. I had created the .vbs file but didn't know what to do next.
I'll have to try the method in Inst Ed next time. That sounds faster.
