What is the importance of ‘v’ in REINTALLMODE?
msiexec /i test.msi REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL
The important part is the "v" in the reinstall mode settings. It forces the use of the new msi
file instead of the cached copy.
If you are upgrading a package with same product code and different package code(ofcurse) use ‘v’ inorder to recache the new msi.
By using the registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Application we can make an application available in Open with Menu.
This Registry determines the list of applications shown in the "Open With" list.
Example:
Registry Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\<EXE NAME>.exe\shell\open\command
Value: <Default> = "<FULL PATH OF THE EXE WITH EXE NAME.EXE>" "%1"
