Tips: Python : wxFormBuilder v3.1.67-beta (Febuary 18, 2010) Python Update

Latest version of wxFormBuilder does not support wxAdditions fully, thus I have updated few XML files to support FlatNotebook & wx.propgrid widgets.

1. Download wx.propgrid and install it.


2. Download the XML.Zip folder and extract it in plugins\wxAdditions\xml folder.


3. Restart the wxformbuilder.

I did not tried to update these files for other widgets but it should be similar.

transform = newmsidb.GenerateTransform(msidb,"c:\\temp\\newtest.mst")

Python

import win32com.client
import os
import sys

msiOpenDatabaseModeReadOnly=0
msidb=r"c:\temp\MountPointGenerator.msi"
