Trace-MsiInstallation

Zkousim prakticky nemozne, nainstalovat daily build Visual Studia 2008 na Windows Server 2008 Beta3. Uz tam mam i June CTP SQL Serveru 2008, ale .NET Framework 3.5 se ne a ne nainstalovat. A pres to nejede vlak. Protoze se to muze hodit i jindy, napsal jsem si podle navodu Aarona Stebnera jednoduchy skriptik, ktery zapne machine-wide logovani Windows Installeru, spusti instalaci a po skonceni vypise soubory ktere Windows Installer vytvoril v $Env:Temp. Mimochodem, kouknete na ten blog, zda se ze je tam vic uzitecnych informaci.

function Trace-MsiInstallation($path)
{
    Get-ChildItem $Env:Temp -Filter msi*.log | Remove-Item -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
	
    Set-Variable MsiPolicy HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer -Option Private,Constant 

    if (-not (Test-Path $MsiPolicy))
    {
        New-Item $MsiPolicy | Out-Null
    }
    
    Set-ItemProperty $MsiPolicy Logging 'voicewarmupx!'
    Set-ItemProperty $MsiPolicy Debug 7 -Type Dword
    
    $StartInfo = [Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo] "$(Resolve-Path $path)"
    $Process = [Diagnostics.Process]::Start($StartInfo)
    $Process.WaitForExit()

    Remove-ItemProperty $MsiPolicy Logging
    Remove-ItemProperty $MsiPolicy Debug

    Get-ChildItem $Env:Temp -Filter msi*.log
}
