[RESOLVED] MSXML?.dll registration help needed

[Krenshau]

I was using an XML file to store my settings (trying to be PC friendly), and I have never done that before, I have always used the registry. Well, I was using MSXML5.dll, but when Inno tried to register it, it thru an code 1114 error, ocx/dll failed to initialize. After searching around the net and microsoft, I found no reference to v 5.0, so I switched to v 4.0 msxml4.dll. It still didn't work, and to make this all night story short, I found that I need to use the .msi to install all required dlls. After all that, my question is, how to I use that in Inno? I read on the net that it is only possible using some complicated method. Is this correct, or is there an easy way that I just haven't found yet?

For now I switched back to the registry to make my deadline, but I would really like to get this to work. Thank you for your help.

BTW, I searched the forums, and there was only one place that I found that a person said they got it to work, but they didn't post how.

Inno alone wont do all things for you, and I think you need to create Inno Setup Scripts for this.

download any Script making tool for Inno from here
hope it helps you, and good luck.

Thank you Harsh Gupta, but I just found out that Inno Setup has newsgroups, and I found this. Can anyone please confirm that this is the method that is best for me to use?

To install an .MSI file from within an Inno Setup installation, try these lines:
 
[Files]
Source: "Your-MSI-File.msi"; DestDir: "{tmp}"
 
[Run]
Filename: "msiexec.exe"; Parameters: "/i ""{tmp}\Your-MSI-File.msi"""

Thank you for your help.

That's all you need to run an external file in Inno Setup. Of course replace Your-MSI-File.msi with the actual file name...

[Krenshau]

Yep, I know to change that. I was hoping you would reply Randem, Thank you for your help.

BTW, I just noticed yesterday that there were newsgroups on the Inno site, and found out how to shell execute the script to run, you might remember one of my previous threads about that.

Thanks again.
