MSDE Install using Merge Modules?

MSDE Install using Merge Modules?

Post by <liba.. » Fri, 23 May 2003 21:49:53



Using Wise for VS.Net, I have created an install that has
3 features.  The one feature installs MSDE using the
required merge modules.  The problem that I am having is
when I chose NOT to install that feature.  For some
reason, one of the merge modules (SQL Base.msm) is still
being executed and calling a custom .dll
routine "SetServerRegKeyPrivileges."  This causes an
error because MSDE is not installed.  Can someone tell me
why a merge module that is contained inside of a feature
that is NOT being installed is executed?

Or can someone tell me if it is possible to modify this
merge module in some way so that my install does not fail
when MSDE is not being installed?

Thank you!

which service pack are your MSMs? there are documented bugs in *all* of the
releases so far. check out www.installsite.org

1. SP3 for MSDE installed using Merge modules in custom installation package

Hi,

I am trying (and failing) to install Service Pack 3 on my MSDE instance. I
have downloaded and unpacked SQL2KDeskSp3.exe and I have tried to upgrade my
server with the following command:

Setup.exe /upgradesp SQLRUN INSTANCENAME=<my instance> SECURITYMODE=SQL
UPGRADEUSER=SA UPGRADEPWD=<my password>

This always results in the error message:

Invalid product code was found. Check if the product was installed.

The MSDE was originally installed with the installation package for our own
product. The MSDE merge modules are included in this package.

My guess is, that this is the reason the SP3 upgrade fails. Could it be,
that I have to make a new version of our own installation package, using the
merge modules from SP3 and then do an upgrade from this package?

Can anybody help me here?
Thanks in advance,

Phil
