Hi,  
I am newbie to windows automation. I am planning to do MSI automation through win\_package. But how to retrieve public properties of MSI file.

I am planning to collect public properties of MSI packages by installing in any DEV server to get my inputs. So that I can use those values as win\_package parameters. I think i should create script to get only public properties from MSIEXEC log file.

Please advise if anybody have good idea.

Thanks in advance.

public properties in the sense “Arguments needs to be provided while installing.” (which are in CAPITAL LETTERS in the log)

ALLUSERS = 1  
ARPNOREPAIR = 1  
ARPNOMODIFY = 1

For example (From Log\_file) :

Property(C): Manufacturer = Mozilla  
Property(C): ProductCode = {35AC0760-5211-41E1-9C25-FD45906E48EB}  
Property(C): ProductLanguage = 1033  
Property(C): ProductName = Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 (x86 en-US) (Wrapped using MSI Wrapper from [exemsi.com](http://exemsi.com))  
Property(C): ProductVersion = 4.42.0.0  
Property(C): ALLUSERS = 1  
Property(C): ARPNOREPAIR = 1  
Property(C): ARPNOMODIFY = 1  
Property(C): ARPURLINFOABOUT = [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/](http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/)  
Property(C): ARPCOMMENTS = Mozilla Firefox 14.0.1 (x86 en-US)
