Defining MSI Basic Behaviors

In contrast to Advanced Package Management where HPCA provides on-going management of the components of an MSI package, Basic Package Management is used for packages that:

The New Application Wizard enables you to define MSI Basic Behavior methods for packages created with the HPCA Administrator Packager for Windows Installer. These packages have a connection to the MSIBASIC Class in the CSDB.

Packages, that cannot be administratively installed, will default to Basic Package Management with the HPCA manageability features disabled. Use the MSI Basic Behaviors section of the New Installation Wizard dialog box to specify the install type and MSI native mode methods to be used for package management.

To define the MSI Basic Behaviors section of the New Application Wizard:

  1. Select the install type that reflects how the package is installed:
  2. If necessary, review and modify the native MSI commands and switches that are to be used for the Create, Verify, Update, and Delete Methods for basic package management.
