Hi all, can anyone tell me an easy way to make the following chnages to my MSI file before I push it out via a Group Policy

What tool can i use thats free and easy to use to edit the file to make it do the following things:

  1. I want the service to start automatically after its been installed (currently i have to do a reboot which i want to avoid)
  2. edit the nxlog.conf (within the MSI) file to include it as part of the installation.

Ive tried using ORCA and some others with no sucess.

thanks

We provide this for NXLog EE customers as documented in the user guide.
For the NXLog CE you'll need to cook this yourself using WIX.
