Blog Entries: 1 Rep Power: 45   | Re: GUIDE: Promethean ACTIV software MSI conversion steps Hi Sorry for the belated reply. Basically I just sniffed around the msi using orca to see what was checking what. For this I viewed the dialogues and then had a look in the "Control" table after I got the invalid serial dialogue to appear. Look at the keys titled "CustomerInformation" and you will notice a property of one of them is PIDKEY which was a big clue. Its been a while since I made the guide but basically trial and error and reading the msi logic gives you clues. Anything thats a property can be set in the properties table so I just tried adding it in there. You will also notice that the property "COMPANYNAME" is used in that "Control" table as well so I tried that. Its not guaranteed to work for all but I hope it gives you some idea how it works. Cheers |

Rep Power: 0  | ActivPrimary 3.5.27 FYI, It appears that the shared resources for ActivPrimary 3.5.27 should be... ACTIVPRIMARY31 = {UNC OF SHARED RESOURCES DIRECTORY} instead of ACTIVPRIMARY3 = {UNC OF SHARED RESOURCES DIRECTORY} Took me a day or so to notice! DOHHHH! |
