Support for reading ``.cab`` files is -currently not implemented; read support for the ``.msi`` database is possible. - -This package aims to provide complete access to all tables in an ``.msi`` file, -therefore, it is a fairly low-level API. One primary application of this -package is the creation of Python installer package itself (although that currently -uses a different version of ``msilib``). - -The package contents can be roughly split into four parts: low-level CAB -routines, low-level MSI routines, higher-level MSI routines, and standard table -structures. - - -.. function:: FCICreate(cabname, files) - - Create a new CAB file named *cabname*. *files* must be a list of tuples, each - containing the name of the file on disk, and the name of the file inside the CAB - file. - - The files are added to the CAB file in the order they appear in the list. All - files are added into a single CAB file, using the MSZIP compression algorithm. - - Callbacks to Python for the various steps of MSI creation are currently not - exposed. - - -.. function:: UuidCreate() - - Return the string representation of a new unique identifier. This wraps the - Windows API functions :c:func:`UuidCreate` and :c:func:`UuidToString`. - - -.. function:: OpenDatabase(path, persist) - - Return a new database object by calling MsiOpenDatabase. *path* is the file - name of the MSI file; *persist* can be one of the constants - ``MSIDBOPEN_CREATEDIRECT``, ``MSIDBOPEN_CREATE``, ``MSIDBOPEN_DIRECT``, - ``MSIDBOPEN_READONLY``, or ``MSIDBOPEN_TRANSACT``, and may include the flag - ``MSIDBOPEN_PATCHFILE``. See the Microsoft documentation for the meaning of - these flags; depending on the flags, an existing database is opened, or a new - one created. - - -.. function:: CreateRecord(count) - - Return a new record object by calling :c:func:`MSICreateRecord`. *count* is the - number of fields of the record. - - -.. function:: init_database(name, schema, ProductName, ProductCode, ProductVersion, Manufacturer) - - Create and return a new database *name*, initialize it with *schema*, and set - the properties *ProductName*, *ProductCode*, *ProductVersion*, and - *Manufacturer*. - - *schema* must be a module object containing ``tables`` and - ``_Validation_records`` attributes; typically, :mod:`msilib.schema` should be - used. - - The database will contain just the schema and the validation records when this - function returns. - - -.. function:: add_data(database, table, records) - - Add all *records* to the table named *table* in *database*. - - The *table* argument must be one of the predefined tables in the MSI schema, - e.g. ``'Feature'``, ``'File'``, ``'Component'``, ``'Dialog'``, ``'Control'``, - etc. - - *records* should be a list of tuples, each one containing all fields of a - record according to the schema of the table.
