[wpkg-users] how to get msi GUUID to the clipboard

[Urs Rau (UK)]

Hi Guys,

I often need to get a msi's file's Product codeGUUID to copy to a wpkg xml install or remove line. Now I have found a nice utility written in js, just like wpkg, that does this very efficiently on a right click menu, the only problem left is the output in the window is not selectable to copy to the clipboard. And I don't like typing in GUUIDs from a screen window manually.

Any "js" coder here that can tell me how to create a window displaying the answer in such a way that it can be selected and copied to the clipboard or alternatively write the msi info into a file called <msiprogram>.msinfo.txt ?

The original code is available from http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/deployment/get-information-about-msi-files-with-just-a-few-clicks

The original author of MSIInfo.js and MSIInfo-Context.js is Bill Stewart (bstewart at iname.com<mailto:bstewart at iname.com>)

Thanks.
