MSI in VB/JScript

MSI bietet ein umfangreiches Automation Interface.
Damit kann der Windows Installer recht einfach per Script gesteuert werden.
Hier ein Beispiel in JScript:

Code:

// Script to list installed MSI Products
// (c)2000 by -bingen-
var WShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var installer = new ActiveXObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer");
var products = installer.Products;
var j = 0; var result = "";
for( var i=0; i < products.Count; i++ ) {
j++;
result += products.Item(i) + " -> " + installer.ProductInfo(products.Item(i), "ProductName") + "\n";
}
j == 0? result="No MSI Packages installed!" : result = j + " Products installed:\n\n"+result;
WShell.Popup(result, 0, "MSI Information", 64);
