>Windows Installer does not work with WMI calls. Are you sure about that, Ed? At my last client, I had a raft of ready-rolled script templates which all accessed the registry via the WMI route.

VBScab commented on: Connect topics with FireFox v8.0.1
Over the Christmas period, FF updated to v9.0.1 but the problem remains but only - annoyingly - for the forum I use almost exclusively, viz. 'Wise packaging'. This morning I have been to browse every other forum I've tried but, in ...

...but nothing appeared on my screen and I saw no error message (I would expect some sort of "Inavlid content" message). Anyway, I've posted the image on PhotoBucket

I spend most of my time in the 'Endpoint Management/Wise Packaging' forum but I went wandering around at random fora and found that I have the problem with *all* topic lists. OS is XP SP3.

VBScab commented on: Shortcut target name space getting Replaced by _
...but isn't the standard dodge for this to use a property? That is, create a property containing the path as its value and then use that property to populate the shortcut fields?

VBScab commented on: Wrapping a Office Application in a MSI
