Desktop short cut / program name under add or remove programs

April 8, 2015, 9:22 am

Hello All,

The following 2 scenarios are working fine with Install Shield 2010 (in my project creating the shortcuts with InstallScript)

1) "admintool shortcut icon is getting created on the desktop".
2) The program name (JavaServer) is getting created under Control Panel >> Programs >> Programs and Features >> JavaServer

But the above 2 scenarios are not working as expected in the Install Shield 2014 version.

After migration in IS2014 can you please let me know usually which properties do I need to double check whether they are having correct values or not (to make these scenarios are working).

- In IDE General Information >> Add or Remove Programs section
- IN IDE which property is responsible for getting short cut key on the desktop
- General Information >> Software Identification Tag >> Use Software Identification Tag (Yes / No) ?


Thank you.

6109 Internal Build Error

I can not build my VS 2013 project as I constantly get this error.

It proceeds as normal but then when it is "Building File table" it takes about 20 seconds and then I get this error.

The log file just ends and provides this error number. It is a very simple project and I can build it with the VS installer and I did have Install Shield working previously but I would get this error occasionally.

I've spent way too much time trying to figure out what the issue is and as of now my InstallShield product is useless.

No GUI when /passive switch is used for setup.exe being run from a custom action

April 10, 2015, 1:09 am

Hi

Following is situation :

On a windows 7 64 bit clean PC with UAC Off I am executing a custom action which installs .net framework 4.5.2. I have set the switches as /passive and /norestart.

Return processing is Asynchronous - ( No wait for Completion) , In-Script execution - Immediate execution, Execution Scheduling is always execute.

With UAC Off I can see the basic UI of the installation when installation is progressing. This is fine and intended.

When I switch ON UAC and run the setup I do not see this basic UI of .net framework setup. Although in background installation goes on and is successful.

Why I can't see the basic UI of the setup when UAC is ON.



If I run the setup as standalone installation from command prompt, I get UAC prompt and then I can see the basic UI as seen when UAC if OFF.


Thanks for your solution in advance.

Is thier a way to Exclude Folders using "Dynamic File Link"?

April 10, 2015, 1:34 am

Suppose I have a following folders structure and the Dynamic File Linking feature applied for PATH A with 'Include subfolders' checkbox checked:

PATH A (which contains files)
........------ PATH B (which contains files)
........------ PATH C (which contains files)
........------ PATH D (which contains files)
.................------ PATH E (which contains file placeMeToGAC.dll)
.................------ PATH F (which contains files)

PATH E is a subfolder of PATH D, and PATH E has only one file that should go to GAC during installation on a target box, so I don't need a PATH E folder on a target box. And the question is - how to exclude PATH E with all its content from Dynamic File linking feature? I know how to exclude files that placed in PATH A, but what about excluding a folder?

I see similar question here for InstallShield 2010. Has anything changed since that time? I'm using InstallShield 2013 Professional, Basic MSI Project.

Launch a suite install, in Custom Setup dialog, uncheck all features. Observe Next button is enabled (issue).
This may be an issue of InstallShield.
How to work around? in Custom Setup dialog, how can I bind a condition to enable/diable Next button? {Binding Feature1 == true} doesn't work. Any other ways?

Thanks a lot

In Custom Setup dialog of suite project, how can i implement mutually exculsive of 2 featuers, that is, when one feature is selected, the other will become gray.
No featuer can be see in the resource of Custom Setup dialog since all features are not static like Next button. There is no place for this logic coding.

IS Project lose Desktop shortcuts when updating executables

April 13, 2015, 2:21 am
$

Hi

is there any way to prevent IS from deleting shortcuts when updating executables inside an installer project?
I have an existing installer project and have created executables with the same name in different locations
e.g. old path: c:\ise_projects\program_old\test.exe
new path: c:\ise_projects\program_new\test.exe

When I now replace the executable in the installer project with the new executable and select "Yes" to replace the existing file,
all shortcuts to this executable are automatically removed from the installer project :(.

It's a pain to always note down every single shortcut property, just to recreate all shortcuts after updating the files to the new location (20-30 shortcuts).

Thanks in advance

Oracle 10g AdminStudio 2014

Hi

I have been trying to create a package for the Full Oracle 10g client. Yes it is old but current business requirements dictate it is used.

Initially I used the repackager and succesfully created a package. However when deployed it would fail due to .Net errors.

Followed the Oracle guides to create a response file and that works fine when run manually. However it appears inconsistant when deployed via SCCM, again a business requirement.

I have found the following link:

http://www.danysoft.com/free/wp_is_InstallingOracle.pdf

However when trying to run this it gives Error F8509 about the #include “ifx.h”


http://helpnet.installshield.com/ins...rror_C8509.htm

Tried retyping the " " marks but still fails

Any helps tips workarounds would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Suite: how to define windows feature of packckage in IS2013 and later

How to define a custom feature in IS 2013 and later? Any example? See attachment.
------------

To specify a Windows role or feature that you want to be enabled if a particular package is eligible for installation:

1. In the View List under Organization, click Packages.
2. In the Packages explorer, click the package that you want to configure.
3. On the Common tab, in the Windows Features setting, click the Add New Windows Feature button, and then click one of the available feature options:
• Internet Information Services
• PowerShell
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.x
• Custom—This option lets you specify any Windows feature that is not listed as an option in this setting.

InstallShield adds a new Windows Feature row under the Windows Features setting, and configures it as needed for any of the built-in feature options (Internet Information Services, PowerShell, or Microsoft .NET Framework 3.x). For the Custom option, the Windows Feature row contains a placeholder string for the name of a feature.

4. If you selected one of the built-in options, leave the value that InstallShield adds to the Windows Feature setting as is.

If you selected the Custom option: In the Windows Feature setting, enter the name of the Windows role or feature that you want to be enabled. The name that you enter for any custom option should be the string that tools such as Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) and Package Manager (Pkgmgr.exe) use to identify the role or feature on a particular version of Windows.

For a list of available Windows roles and features on each version of Windows for which you are supporting, see Microsoft TechNet.

In IS2014 suite project, the basic function such as MessageBox can't be compiled. I included ifx.h and then ISRTWindows.h. Anyting missing?
--------------------
/ Include Ifx.h for built-in InstallScript function prototypes and for Suite
// function prototypes.
#include "ifx.h"
#include "ISRTWindows.h"

// The keyword export identifies MyFunction() as an entry-point function.
// The argument it accepts must be an object for a Suite extension interface.
export prototype MyFunction(OBJECT);

// To Do: Declare global variables, define constants, and prototype user-
// defined and DLL functions here.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Function: MyFunction
//
// Purpose: This function will be called by the script engine when
// the Suite engine calls your InstallScript action.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function MyFunction(oExtension)
// To Do: Declare local variables.
string str1;
begin
MessageBox("MyFunction:",INFORMATION);
//SprintfBox(INFORMATION,"MyFunction:","%s", str1);

DLL Registration issues with InstallShield 6.2

Hi, i have built a visual basic 6 software wich uses some dlls.
Then i have made an installer using the InstallShield 6.2 software.
It worked fine untill windows 8 / windows 8.1 os was released.
During the installation phase no error are shown but when i run the software, these dlls seem not to be registred correctly.
At the moment i "resolved" this problem moving these dll in the root of my PC (C:\) and also registring these manually.
So there is a way without changing the installer to let it works in new windows os( 8 / 8.1)?

Best Registry Settings - Installing Multiple Times - Registry Entries Staying

So I am working on this installer for my company that is typically ran multiple times on a single machine.

If I install once, then un-install, the registry entries I have go away.

However, if I install multiple times, and then un-install, then the registry entries are not going away until the final uninstall.

Is there a way to tie registry entries to the individual installation so this does not happen?

Kind of the same issue as I posted below about the registry.

If I run the MSI once, then uninstall, all folders are removed.

If I run the MSI more than once, then uninstall one of the instances, one empty sub folder is being left behind.

Any ideas?
