The MsiSourceListAddMediaDisk function adds or updates a disk of the media source of a registered product or patch. If the disk specified already exists, it is updated with the new values. If the disk specified does not exist, a new disk entry is created with the new values.

Syntax

C++UINT MsiSourceListAddMediaDisk(
  __in      LPCTSTR szProductCodeOrPatchCode,
  __in_opt  LPCTSTR szUserSid,
  __in      MSIINSTALLCONTEXT dwContext,
  __in      DWORD dwOptions,
  __in      DWORD dwDiskId,
  __in      LPCTSTR szVolumeLabel,
  __in_opt  LPCTSTR szDiskPrompt
);

Parameters

szProductCodeOrPatchCode [in]

The ProductCode or patch GUID of the product or patch. Use a null-terminated string. If the string is longer than 39 characters, the function fails and returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. This parameter cannot be NULL.

szUserSid [in, optional]

This parameter can be a string SID that specifies the user account that contains the product or patch. The SID is not validated or resolved. An incorrect SID can return ERROR_UNKNOWN_PRODUCT or ERROR_UNKNOWN_PATCH.

Type of SID	Meaning
NULL	NULL denotes the currently logged on user. When referencing the current user account, szUserSID can be NULL and dwContext can be MSIINSTALLCONTEXT_USERMANAGED or MSIINSTALLCONTEXT_USERUNMANAGED.
User SID	Specifies enumeration for a particular user in the system. An example of user SID is "S-1-3-64-2415071341-1358098788-3127455600-2561".

 

Note  The special SID string s-1-5-18 (system) cannot be used to enumerate products or patches installed as per-machine. Setting the SID value to s-1-5-18 returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER. When dwContext is set to MSIINSTALLCONTEXT_MACHINE only, szUserSid must be null.

Note  The special SID string s-1-1-0 (everyone) should not be used. Setting the SID value to s-1-1-0 fails and returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAM .

dwContext [in]

This parameter specifies the context of the product or patch instance. This parameter can contain one of the following values.

Type of context	Meaning
MSIINSTALLCONTEXT_USERMANAGED	The product or patch instance exists in the per-user-managed context.
MSIINSTALLCONTEXT_USERUNMANAGED	The product or patch instance exists in the per-user-unmanaged context.
MSIINSTALLCONTEXT_MACHINE	The product or patch instance exists in the per-machine context.

 

dwOptions [in]

The dwOptions value specifies the meaning of szProductCodeOrPatchCode.

Flag	Meaning
MSICODE_PRODUCT	szProductCodeOrPatchCode is a product code GUID.
MSICODE_PATCH	szProductCodeOrPatchCode is a patch code GUID.

 

dwDiskId [in]

This parameter provides the ID of the disk being added or updated.

szVolumeLabel [in]

The szVolumeLabel provides the label of the disk being added or updated. An update overwrites the existing volume label in the registry. To change the disk prompt only, get the existing volume label from the registry and provide it in this call along with the new disk prompt. Passing a null or empty string for szVolumeLabel registers an empty string (0 bytes in length) as the volume label.

szDiskPrompt [in, optional]

On entry to MsiSourceListAddMediaDisk, szDiskPrompt provides the disk prompt of the disk being added or updated. An update overwrites the registered disk prompt. To change the volume label only, get the existing disk prompt that is registered and provide it when calling MsiSourceListAddMediaDisk along with the new volume label. Passing NULL or an empty string registers an empty string (0 bytes in length) as the disk prompt.

Return Value

The MsiSourceListAddMediaDisk function returns the following values.

Remarks

Administrators can modify the installation of a product or patch instance that exists under the machine context or under their own per-user context (managed or unmanaged.) They can modify the installation of a product or patch instance that exists under any user's per-user-managed context. Administrators cannot modify another user's installation of a product or patch instance that exists under that other user's per-user-unmanaged context.

Non-administrators cannot modify the installation of a product or patch instance that exists under another user's per-user context (managed or unmanaged.) They can modify the installation of a product or patch instance that exists under their own per-user-unmanaged context. They can modify the installation of a product or patch instance under the machine context or their own per-user-managed context only if they are enabled to browse for a product or patch source. Users can be enabled to browse for sources by setting policy. For more information, see DisableBrowse, AllowLockdownBrowse, AllowLockDownMedia and AlwaysInstallElevated policies.

Windows Installer 2.0:  Not supported. The MsiSourceListAddMediaDisk function is available beginning with Windows Installer 3.0.
