[wpkg-users] GetMSIProperties

[Paul McGrath]

Yes I've a few that want /passive /qn as well
Also some (the odd one or two) MSIs won't uninstall themselves from the original MSI you do need to use the UUID or they do some terrible thing and put their MSI somewhere in 'common files'

The usual ones are fine and will all probably work as you say.

Citation?

In http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-DE/library/aa367988.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-DE/library/aa372024.aspx there's no mention of any deprecation and a quick duckduckgoogle didn't find anything either.

by the way - /qn! is illegal according to the docs, only /qb! works, but you don't want /qb in a script.

And back to reality, I did find a few MSIs that actually needed both /passive and /qn to work correctly. I have no idea what atrocities the authors put into those MSIs (and I mercily forgot their names). I do now that having /passive and /qn is redundant but they're still in there for a reason :)
