Hello,
I am interested in customizing skype.msi for our enterprise necesities, the
problem is that I don't understand how can I do for modify the parameters of
the registry to secure skype (with orca) because I don't find where I have to
touch.
Then if I can do the registry modification, I need the possibility to deploy
the new package (better with mst?) and when I want uninstall the package.
Do you tell me what applications I need, in what order and if exists, where
can I find the values of the msi parameters (not msiexec)
Thank you very much

You will need to read any documentation that comes with the msi, contact the vendor, browse its forums
,examine a verbose log of a manual install (and make a few guesses).
I am normally forced to trial and error from a verbose log.

It's complicated. There are general Registry settings
in the Registry table, cross-referenced to the Component
table. COM settings, on the other hand, are spread
across the ProgId, Class, File, Directory, Component and
TypeLib tables.
I don't know whether this will provide what you need, but
try this link:
http://www.jsware.net/jsware/msicode.php3
The MSI Unpacker utility unpacks an MSI, but it also
provides listings of the Registry settings, on a per-component
basis or whole-file basis. That may provide the information
you need to edit the MSI. The unpacker is vbscript-based,
with lots of comments in the code, so it wouldn't be difficult
to map out the tables/columns involved for what you want to do.
(But be warned: MSI COM Registry settings are so convoluted
that a large, dedicated VBS class was required just for those. :)
All of that info. (about how Registry settings are documented
in an MSI database) is also in the help file (msi.chm), but not in
any direct way. You just have to trace the details through the
various table description pages.
