--- Comment #14 from Anastasius Focht <focht(a)gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

adding info for documentation purpose.

In short: it's by design.

Untagged Google installers must be supplied command line arguments otherwise
it's expected to fail with 'Unknown Installer Error' message (hr =
GOOPDATE_E_UNTAGGED_METAINSTALLER).

See: https://code.google.com/p/omaha/source/browse/trunk/mi_exe_stub/mi.cc#146

Yes, it's stupid to put the reason in an assert (not included in release build)
and go with generic error message ('GOOPDATE_E_UNTAGGED_METAINSTALLER' ->
'IDS_GENERIC_ERROR').

Regards
