Re: task registration
You get the code that does that task registration and run it as a custom
action. There's no built-in support for creating scheduled tasks in Windows Installer. -- Phil Wilson The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590592972 "Andrew Sha" <AndrewSha@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B02A540C-58D4-4110-837B-657D834EF3EF@microsoft.com... > Hi > > How to register a task w/ the Task Scheduler using MSI?

Re: task registration
Visual Studio setup projects let you run custom actions, so I don't think
you need Orca for that. There are lots of tools to build MSI files: http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/authoring.htm -- Phil Wilson The Definitive Guide to Windows Installer http://www.apress.com/book/view/1590592972 "Andrew Sha" <AndrewSha@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B453E1BF-3A3D-4FBE-91BF-BC4A59A4E1AB@microsoft.com... > Ok then, thank you > > Are there tools available to work/modify MSI files but Orca? > > > "Wilson, Phil" wrote: > >> You get the code that does that task registration and run it as a custom >> action.

Re: task registration
The only people that use Orca seem to be those who just want to look in MSI
files to see what was generated by their setup tool, or those adding functionality that Visual Studio setup projects don't provide. That link has plenty of tools to build MSI files, some of them free. -- Phil Wilson "Andrew Sha" <AndrewSha@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:674695C0-9DFD-4C46-9595-E14D9B805E3E@microsoft.com... > Yes, I know that VS allows to add custom actions; I just wonder whether > more > user friendly tools then ORCA were developed to edit MSI since I last > messed > w/ Windows Installer > > "Wilson, Phil" wrote: > >> Visual Studio setup projects let you run custom actions, so I don't think >> you need Orca for that.

Re: task registration
Yes, I know that VS allows to add custom actions; I just wonder whether more
user friendly tools then ORCA were developed to edit MSI since I last messed w/ Windows Installer "Wilson, Phil" wrote: > Visual Studio setup projects let you run custom actions, so I don't think > you need Orca for that.

Re: task registration
Just manually change the file extension to .reg which is as simple as
showing all file extensions in the folder options when you open a folder using the classic view. after you have opened the folder with the ALT key and apply to all folders to make the reasoning easier.. but this is not a forced procedure. it only a GUI option.
