The MsiConfigureProductEx function installs or uninstalls a product. A product command line can also be specified.

Syntax

C++UINT MsiConfigureProductEx(
  __in  LPCTSTR szProduct,
  __in  int iInstallLevel,
  __in  INSTALLSTATE eInstallState,
  __in  LPCTSTR szCommandLine
);

Parameters

szProduct [in]

Specifies the product code for the product to be configured.

iInstallLevel [in]

Specifies how much of the product should be installed when installing the product to its default state. The iInstallLevel parameters are ignored, and all features are installed, if the eInstallState parameter is set to any value other than INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT.

This parameter can be one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
INSTALLLEVEL_DEFAULT	The authored default features are installed.
INSTALLLEVEL_MINIMUM	Only the required features are installed. You can specify a value between INSTALLLEVEL_MINIMUM and INSTALLLEVEL_MAXIMUM to install a subset of available features.
INSTALLLEVEL_MAXIMUM	All features are installed. You can specify a value between INSTALLLEVEL_MINIMUM and INSTALLLEVEL_MAXIMUM to install a subset of available features.

 

eInstallState [in]

Specifies the installation state for the product. This parameter can be one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL	The product is to be installed with all features installed locally.
INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT	The product is uninstalled.
INSTALLSTATE_SOURCE	The product is to be installed with all features installed to run from source.
INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT	The product is to be installed with all features installed to the default states specified in the Feature Table.
INSTALLSTATE_ADVERTISED	The product is advertised.

 

szCommandLine [in]

Specifies the command-line property settings. This should be a list of the format Property=Setting Property=Setting. For more information, see About Properties.

Return Value

Remarks

The command line passed in as szCommandLine can contain any of the Feature Installation Options Properties. In this case, the eInstallState passed must be INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT.

The iInstallLevel parameter is ignored and all features of the product are installed if the eInstallState parameter is set to any other value than INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT. To control the installation of individual features when the eInstallState parameter is not set to INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT use MsiConfigureFeature.

The MsiConfigureProductEx function displays the user interface using the current settings. User interface settings can be changed with MsiSetInternalUI, MsiSetExternalUI, or MsiSetExternalUIRecord.
