Hi I just upgraded to InstallShield 2014 and I am trying to have the splash screen image that first appears when running my installer be our specific image.
For some reason there is no image. The first time I did it, it was the blue theme's image, but now it is blank.

I.e. I replaced the setup.gif file in the location
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014\Support\Themes\InstallShield Blue Theme
to be our new image.

Is there a reason why this image would not appear?

Hi,
I am trying to implement two SQLServerSelectLogin2 dialogs in an InstallScript MSI project to specify login info for two databases (may or may not use same creds). Seems like I should just need to copy the SQLServerSelectLogin2 dialog and modify it to change the properties that apply to the fields. That appears possible in a Basic MSI project but I don't see the Property field in the Dialog editor in the InstallScript MSI project. What am I missing?
Thanks

Update:
Looks like maybe I can accomplish that by adding a second set of Properties and using the appropriate properties for the SQL connections in the Scripts view.

Now I would like to add a checkbox to indicate "Use default values" that, if checked on the first screen, would allow me to skip the second dialog. Looks like I can't do that in an InstallScript MSI project????

I have mapped a network file in Windows and need dynamic file linking from the drive. I have added the dynamic linking to my Basic MSI Project, but get the following error:

Quote:

---

ISDEV : error -6102: Error searching for dynamic files matching "Z:\manufacturing\client documents\electronic documentation\*.*"

---

If I change the path to a folder on the local machine, there are no errors.

The specified folder does exist and I am able to open the folder by copying the path to Windows explorer. I am using InstallShield 2014 Professional on Windows 7 Professional. Dynamically linking the exact same folder from the network drive did work with InstallShield 2011 Professional on Windows XP.

Any ideas what the problem could be and how to fix it?

Hi there,

I am trying to work with FNP 11.12 in my new application. I see that flxActTransactionProcessResponse(hTransaction, pcharequestbuffer) returns true, but does not write anything in the trusted storage.

Comparing to my other FlexEnabled app (working) I see that the new response xml does not contain ResponseConfig data. The xml is of the format

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><Response....<ResponseData>
<ResponseActions>
<ResponseCreate>
</ResponseCreate>
</ResponseActions>
</ResponseData>

Can anybody please confirm if ResponseConfig section containing Server and Client Config data is required to write content to TS.

I see that in my working app, it gets this ResponseConfig data, but in my new app I don't get this info. It would be really great if you could point me to what needs to be changed (in FNO ?) to get this working.

Thanks.

I am using Installshield 2014 and im working in an Installscript MSI Project. I am also new to Installshield and working with a demo to learn the application. Help is greatly appreciated

1. I am creating a simple install that contains the "SelectFolder" dialog BEFORE the "SdAskDestination" dialog
2. The user can either take the defaulted Program Folder, which i have set OR create their own folder name
3. Once the user sets their custom name and clicks Next, they see the "SdAskDestination" dialog. The path is updated and correctly display the custom folder name the user entered in the previous step
4. Once the installation takes place, all the shortcuts get installed into the default folder name that was set NOT the custom name the user entered into the "SelectFolder" dialog.
5. From what i can see in the help docs, the "CreateProgramFolder" function must be created in a custom script and executed in sequence. I am unsure how to do this so far or maybe im missing a step somewhere else.

Where do i go from here?

Thanks

Hi

Major release was released an year back. I would like to add new pre requisite (sôme setup.exe from microsoft) in minor version we are going to release in next few months.

When i add this pre requisite it does not get installed from my patch package. This might be due to fact that it was not part of major release.

Is there any way to install this pre requisite from patch package ?

Alternately i can install this pre requisite as custom action. In this case how to get exit code and rollback installation of patch if this new pre requisite fails.

Thanks in advance.

Dear
I'm having problems with the service FlexNet Agent 5.3.1 as it turns itself off when windows starts.
I tried to put it in automatic or manually lift but both throws the error attached below.
The FlexNet is running on a UNIX server and this server was cloned for testing necessary to see that the problem originates.
It was also proved in a newly installed Win7 without any other application that brings more WIN7 and service as soon as Windows starts falling down. If I get up manually it stops again in a matter of 2 seconds.

I hope I can find a solution, if you need some other information in the hardware or software that is running on machines testing me know.

Regards. Facundo.

Installer not upgrading previous version even with new Product Code and Upgrade Path

I am updating an existing InstallShield Express 2014 project and want the installer to automatically uninstall the last version created with the same project, i.e. to do a major upgrade.

I have updated the version number, changed the product code and added an upgrade path with Min Version = Yes, Max Version = Yes and the unchanged UpgradeCode.

However, when I build and then run the installer, it fails to remove the old version of the product and offers Modify, Repair, Remove options instead.

Any hints as to what other steps I need to take to complete a major upgrade?

Is there a way to accomplish it ?

I have no idea how to approach this problem so any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Dear Installshield-Experts,

we developed an application which shall be delivered as an installation package. For this we are using Installshield 2014.

Registering a file extension was no problem. Now these files have an icon and a double click on it works as well.

Beside this a list of recent files was created which does not make sense for my application. This list can be opened at Windows 7 by clicking on "Start" and then onto the arrow on the right of the program name. Within this list the last used files are shown.

Is there any way to switch off this recent-files-list in the Installshield installation?

Thanks in advance,

Stephan

Hi all,

We are going to be moving from our current, scheduled, scripted binary compiles and installation builds to a Continuous Integration model based on TFS Build Server/Controller/Agent/Build Definitions. I'm wondering if there is any information out there regarding how to pull my installation compiles using InstallShield into the mix.

I'm guessing this is going to come via a post build script called from the TFS Build Definition. If anyone out there has some experience, examples, etc illustrating what they've done I would more than appreciate the information.

Thanks!
