Advanced Packaging Topics
Updated: 15 Apr 2009 | 4 comments
Hi Connect Packagers. I have agreed to speak at the San Diego Endpoint Management & Security User group. They have asked me to talk about Advanced Packaging topics.
There are a couple of things that come to mind: Driver Installation, Self Registration (DON'T DO IT), Upgrades and Patches.
If you were coming to an Advanced Packaging presentation, what would you like / expect to see.
Thank you for your input.

how elevations works
what context am I in. how that context will affect immediate custom actions
deferred CA's and why they need Commit / rollback CA's as friends

user profile fix up
sourcelist management / client side caching
Adding coding
There is advanced and then there is advanced, so which level are we looking at (how deep does the rabbit hole go)?
If you have more time after going through John's nice topics I (if I would have been there) would want to find out more about adding coding to do the work (automation) by using:
"Wise Automation Reference" to build/update wise projects and create reports.
"Wise Software Repository Automation" to manage projects (ex. create a new project to be assigned to a packager), create reports and alike.
DTF (Deployment Tools Foundation) to get more functionality to Custom Actions.
Troubleshooting by using:
Windows Installer verbose log, Process Monitor, Debugger (ex. DebugView) in conjunction with Windows Installer Debug policy
Lack of material
