    <p>I am creating a cutomization software which will do all the standardization to a mst file. Below is the code of class that will change product name and genrate transform.</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using WindowsInstaller; using System.Data; namespace Automation { class CustomInstaller { public CustomInstaller() { } public Record getInstaller(string msiFile,MsiOpenDatabaseMode mode,string query) { Type type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WindowsInstaller.Installer"); Installer inst = (Installer)Activator.CreateInstance(type); Database db = inst.OpenDatabase(msiFile, mode); WindowsInstaller.View view = db.OpenView(query); view.Execute(null); Record record = view.Fetch(); db.Commit(); return record; } public bool generateTrans(string file1, string file2,string transName) { Type type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WindowsInstaller.Installer"); Installer inst = (Installer)Activator.CreateInstance(type); Database db1 = inst.OpenDatabase(file1, MsiOpenDatabaseMode.msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly); try { Database db2 = inst.OpenDatabase(file2, MsiOpenDatabaseMode.msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly); return db2.GenerateTransform(db1, transName); } catch (Exception e) { } return false; } public int editTransform(string msiFile, MsiOpenDatabaseMode mode, string query) { Type type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WindowsInstaller.Installer"); Installer inst = (Installer)Activator.CreateInstance(type); Database db = inst.OpenDatabase(msiFile, mode); WindowsInstaller.View view = db.OpenView(query); view.Execute(null); db.Commit(); int o=(int)db.DatabaseState; db = null; inst = null; type = null; return 1; } } } </code></pre> <p>First editTransform() is called which will create a copy of original msi and do some changes in it, then generateTrans() is called which will get difference detween two msi files and create a transform file. Now issue is when genrateTrans() is called, then it goes to catch block of it as inst.OpenDatabase return "MSI Api Error". It seems to me that the copy of file crated by editTransform is still locked by it and is not available for use for generateTrans() menthod. Please help here.</p> <p>PS: mode used for edit transform is transact.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
