Examples
You
can
modify
the
MSIManufacturer
parameter
to
display
the
name
of
a
specific
department.
For
example,
users
can
see
a
department
name
in
the
Windows
Add
or
Remove
Programs
dialog
box
and
contact
the
help
desk
for
that
department.
[BuildOptions]
MSIFilename=<my_msi>.msi
MSIManufacturer=<department_or_company_name>
MSIProductCode
The
MSIProductCode
parameter
specifies
a
product
code
for
the
MSI
database.
Windows
Installer
uses
the
code
to
identify
MSI
packages.
The
capture
process
generates
a
random
and
unique
product
code
that
is
not
taken
from
the
application.
The
value
must
be
a
valid
Globally
Unique
Identifier
(GUID).
The parameter
works
only
when
the
MSIFilename
parameter
requests
the
generation
of
a
Windows
Installer
database.
Do
not
modify
the
MSIProductCode
parameter.
Examples
The
capture
process
can
create
an
MSI
file
with
590810CE
‐
65E6
‐
3E0B
‐
08EF
‐
9CCF8AE20D0E
as
the
product
code.
[BuildOptions]
MSIFilename=<my_msi>.msi
MSIProductCode={590810CE-65E6-3E0B-08EF-9CCF8AE20D0E}
MSIProductVersion
The
MSIProductVersion
parameter
specifies
a
product
version
number
for
the
MSI
database
to
facilitate
version
control.
This
version
number
is
unrelated
to
the
application
version
or
the
ThinApp
version.
ThinApp
assigns
an
initial
version
of
1.0.
This
version
appears
in
the
properties
of
the
database.
When
you
deploy
a
package
to
a
machine
that
already
has
the
package
installed,
Windows
Installer
checks
the
version
numbers
and
blocks
the
installation
of
an
older
version
over
an
updated
version.
In
this
situation,
you
must
uninstall
the
new
version.
The
MSIProductVersion
parameter
works
only
when
the
MSIFilename
parameter
requests
the
generation
of
a
Windows
Installer
database.
Examples
You
can
change
the
value
of
the
MSIProductVersion
parameter
when
you
change
the
MSI
package.
A
value
of
2.0
causes
ThinApp
to
uninstall
a
1.0
version
of
the
package
and
install
the
2.0
version
of
the
package.
[BuildOptions]
MSIFilename=<my_msi>.msi
MSIProductVersion=2.0
The
format
of
the
MSIProductVersion
value
is
X.Y.Z
.
The
values
of
X
and
Y
range
from
0
to
255,
and
the
value
of
Z
ranges
from
0
to
65536.
