Installing small update as reinstall

[alexzfirm]

Here is MSDN article that describes "applying small updates by reinstalling"

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367575.aspx

How do I make Setup Factory project that does that? Do I need to create some kind of a custom bootstrapper? I can see that in your library there is a function g_GetInstalledRunCommandLine() that uses the required command line parameters ("REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus"). But I do not understand how can I use it from the Setup Factory main project...

Do you have any sample projects/articles/etc related to "applying small updates by reinstalling"? Help please

I was just looking in the bootstrapper code and found this:


strCommandLine = "-i \""..strExtractedPath.."\" REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus";

So if you use the default bootstrapper it should do this for you. Have you tried the bootstrapper?

Wahoo! Default bootstrapper worked for a new project. There was something screwy on my existing project - bootstrapper always fails with "file not found" error, but on the new and fresh project it worked! Thank you.
