Re: [cx-oracle-users] cx-oracle reverse engineer msi - or msi alternative?

[Mark M. <mar...@au...>]

Hi,

One trick might be to run something like
Msiexec.exe cx_oracle.msi targetdir=c:\some\directory
On another machine

That should get you the files in the MSI  - you could then maybe modify/re-create the setup.py script? (or get it and modify it from source distribution?), and use python setup.py install

The above is 'possible' though may not be the 'right' solution.

Hmm - I just looked in my site-packages folder - and it seems that cx_Oracle is in a pyd file (and no py files or package) (I never realized).
If I am right - then in that case you just need to copy cx_Oracle.pyd into the python\lib\site-packages directory on each machine. (assuming you have Oracle etc required).

Hope that helps a little,
  Mark

Subject: [cx-oracle-users] cx-oracle reverse engineer msi - or msi alternative?

Dear List,

We work in a 'locked down' Windows environment and can't run the CX Oracle MSI, is there any other way that we can deploy the libraries installed by the MSI without running the MSI?

Any suggestions much appreciated,

Kind Regards,
