1. Package properties
Yes, there are various options available:-
- Without using properties , You can use out of the box MSI installation/uninstallation parameters ( in 8.1, you can add custom MSI parameters)
- Second, is you can use properties, you will see a drop down at end of install command text box, which lets you properties, they will appear as ??<property name .. ?? form. You can make use of Target properties here as well or properties of the MSI depot software item.
- The last, and the one which I will personally use. Add MSI, create a Blpackage from this MSI. In the blpackage, you can edit the install and undo command. You can add local properties to this blpckage and use the same in install/command. Or you can use target properties etc. You can also create local properties whose value can be set to instances of custom property classes and so on.
It really depends on what do you want to do .
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

2. Package properties
Rohit, thanks for your reply.
The problem, that I have is that I MUST use the MSI package type and I want to have access to the properties of my package in the the "Install Command". In the drop down I see properties but NOT package properties !

3. Package properties
What do you mean by Package properties here ? , the Bladelogic properties ?
Have you added properties to the depot software item type MSI ?
And if you use BLPACKAGE, it will always be based on your MSI only.
YOu need to first add your MSI as an MSI Object into depot and then create a Blpackage from it.

4. Package properties
I don't want to use BLPACKAGE. I must use MSI package type (!!!) and I mean the properties of MSI package (e.g standard properties: Name or Date_Created or User_Modified)
I added (defined) some custom properties and I want to have access to custom and also to standard properties of "my" MSI package in the commands that I use in "Install Command" of this MSI package.
In the drop down of "Install Command" there are NO properties of MSI package !
