Hello all...I'm having an issue with some code. What I'm trying to accomplish is opening an MSI file and reading the contents. I'm using a reference to the WindowsInstaller Interop. When I run this, I get an exception but I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using WindowsInstaller;
namespace msiReadTest1
{
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComImport(), System.Runtime.InteropServices.Guid("000C1090-0000-0000-C000-000000000046")]
class Installer { }
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WindowsInstaller.Installer ins = (WindowsInstaller.Installer)new Installer();
string strFileMsi = @"C:\Projects\msiReadTest1\msiReadTest1\bin\Debug\test.msi";
Database db = ins.OpenDatabase(strFileMsi, WindowsInstaller.MsiOpenDatabaseMode.msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly);
View vw = db.OpenView(@"Select * FROM 'Property'"); // I'd like to pull from other tables besides Property as well
vw.Execute(null);
Record rcrd = vw.Fetch();
while (rcrd != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(rcrd.get_StringData(1).Split('|')[1]);
rcrd = vw.Fetch();
}
vw.Close();
}
}
}

The error message I'm receiving is:
Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005):

gs flags, Object target, Int32[] aWrapperTypes, MessageData& msgData) at WindowsInstaller.Database.OpenView(String Sql) at msiReadTest1.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Projects\msiReadTest1\msiReadTest1\Program.cs:line 20
Thanks in advance!
