IS not creating a single MSI package

May 5, 2015, 2:23 pm
$

Hello,

I have IS 2014, and I have the option to create a Single MSI Package on the Build Installation set.

But when it creates the folder, it creates the program files folder, System32, Win...and they have to be included in the installation package.

Is there a way to fix this ? Also tried using the Single Executable, but it also requires me to provide the user with program files/system32, etc that are being created by IS2014.

Thanks.

InstallShiled Activation Wizard has stopped working (2014)

Dear Support,

Our development server with InstallShield 2014 on it died and so we vitalised the backup.

I was trying to reauthorise it using the offline method as the automatic authorisation failed and I couldn't see where to release the licence from the now dead hardware.

When I click on the InstallShield 2014 shortcut now I receive the message
---------------------------
InstallShield
---------------------------
The product license has been corrupted. You must repair the license before you can continue. Click yes to repair now.
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

When I click No nothing happens and when I click Yes I get a crash message "InstallShiled Activation Wizard has stopped working".

1. Is there a way to start in safe mode to reset the activation process?

We have installShield 2013 installed on the same server which activated without issues... manly because the auto activation worked first time.

This is an Installscript project that i am working on and i am wanting a simple button that the user can click to test if there is an active SQL db at the location they point to. I already have a custom dialog created and working with my user input sql host address, user and password but im not seeing exactly what i should be using to do a test connection and show a messagebox with either a pass/fail message to the user.

I have been reading about SQLRTInitialize2 and SQLRTConnect2 but have been unsuccessful so far in getting a connection. Any help would be appreciated

How to replace dll file with msp install comparing only modified date

Hi,

I have a scenario where I need the msp to overwrite dll if different modified date and not to compare assembly version or file version. I was able to do that in MSI via REINSTALLMODE property but it didn't work with msp.
Is it possible to do that in msp also and how?

msp genertad is big in Size

Hi,

I'm generating an msp using perl scrip and msiexec command, I uncompress the msis (old & new) before generation, but the result is that the msp is almost as the size of the msi. For example if the msi is 3MB the msp is 2.3MB.
What is the reason for that?
Here is the script used:

Code:
if ($buildPatch) {
        #Before you copy over the new version, you need the old one to create the pacth from.
        #Create patch from old and new msi's.
       
        #Uncompress the old msi
        print "\nUncompressed base image...\n";
        $cmd = "msiexec.exe /a \"$BaseImageCompressed\\$MSIName\" /qb TARGETDIR=$BaseImageUncompressedOld";
        print "\t$cmd\n";
        system ("pause") if ($debug);
        $result = system($cmd);
        if ($result > 0) {
        print("ERROR: Uncompressed base image: $result\n");
        exit(3);
        }               

        #Uncompress the new msi.
        print "\nUncompressed new image...\n";
        $cmd = "msiexec.exe /a \"$MSIImageDir\\$MSIName\" /qb TARGETDIR=$BaseImageUncompressedNew";
        print "\t$cmd\n";
        system ("pause") if ($debug);
        $result = system($cmd);
        if ($result > 0) {
        print("ERROR: Uncompressed base image: $result\n");
        exit(3);
        }
       
        #Build patch.
        print "\nBuilding MSP install...\n";
        $cmd = "$buildEXE -p \"$buildFile\" -patch_config $PATCH_CONFIG";
        print "\t$cmd\n";
        system ("pause") if ($debug);
        $result = system($cmd);
        if ($result > 0) {
                print("ERROR: Building MSP install returned: $result\n");
                exit(4);

Why the custom code panel in post-install is loaded before the installer start?

In my post-install section, there is a custom code panel, in which I read the $CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST$, but the value will always be the default value no matter how it was changed during pre-install.
Then I tried to use a variable that was not defined by default. Every time when the installer is launched, there will be an exception saying that this variable is missing and crash before even the introduction is shown.

Installer not executing Custom Actions on Silent Install

Hi @all,

I have build an installer using IS 2014 Express which does manipulations do a database setup using a dll as custom actions on "After Setup Complete Success dialog"

When running the installer using the UI everything works as expected.
But when I run the installer with the silent switches the installation works fine, but the custom actions are not executed.

Any ideas?

Maybe the actions are not executed because there is no "Complete Success dialog" in silent mode...

Searching a registry key and setting its outcome as as install condition not working.

Hi,

I am searching for following registry key in System Search.

NETFRAMEWORK452 = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full\Release

This key is not present when .NET framework 4.0 is installed. But is available when .NET framework 4.5.x is installed. Value of this registry key is #379893 for .NET framework 4.5.2.

I want my installation to continue only if .NET framework 4.5.2 OR higher is installed.

I have set install condition like below :

(NETFRAMEWORK452>="#379893") And (NETFRAMEWORK452<>"")

OR

(NETFRAMEWORK452>=379893) And (NETFRAMEWORK452<>"")


When I try to install on machine where only .NET framework 4.0 is installed, my setup continues. My expectation is it should stop.

Any idea ?

Hello all

I have VB6 application that I gave to customers.
On new PC's they don't have richtx32.ocx so the application fails.

I would like to add the ocx file to the install (ise file) or to creare msm from the ocx (and from there I know how to proceed)

I looked at
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down...s.aspx?id=5883
and found lots of ready to use msm files but richtx32 was not one of them.

Any hint ?

Thanks a lot

Program Files redirects on x64 OS

May 7, 2015, 1:33 pm

Hello,

We are installing a 32 bit application and need to install support files for a 3rd Party 64 bit application that our program talks to through COM automation. The component install folder for these files is a property that is updated using a custom action to search the 3rd Party registry entries to find the folder. On x64 OS the 3rd Party app is x64, thus installs to Program Files. Here is an example of the folder property:

C:\Program Files\AutoCAD 2012\Support

Even though this is a string property, not a mapping variable like [ProgramFilesFolder] or [ProgramFiles64Folder] the msi still redirects to Program Files (x86). It works correctly if I flag the component as x64 and change the Summary Info to x64;1033 but that means maintaining two setups just to support this one component.

Is there some way to install support files into Program Files on x64 OS when installing an x86 application?

Thanks,
John

Excluding Installshield Deployment Projects from MSBuild

I need to exclude a few deployment projects (used for development only) from my build (using MSBuild from command line) and have not been successful. I have tried both of the following (separately) in my InstallShield.targets file with no difference.

<ItemGroup>
<ExcludeFromPackageFolders Include="FullPath">
<FromTarget>[ExcludeDeploymentProjects]</FromTarget>
</ExcludeFromPackageFolders>
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
<ExcludeFromPackageFiles Include="FullPathAndFilenameOfIsprojFile">
<FromTarget>[ExcludeDeploymentProjects]</FromTarget>
</ExcludeFromPackageFiles>
</ItemGroup>

How can I prove that the InstallShield.targets is even being used? I uncommented the 'Message Text' lines, and I see no messages. Are the messages supposed to appear on the console or in the log files?
Thanks for any advice!

anomaly program distributed with InstallShield for Visual Studio 2013

I have a problem with the installation of a program created with InstallShield for Visual Studio 2013.
In practice, for a program Windows Form that in the development environment working properly, the following happens:
- After running the setup program, when I send him running, for some choices (recently developed) returns me an error on a database table that is not being tracked by the program
- After trying to locate a fault without results, I made a desperate attempt, I renamed the directory where the program is installed with the database and all necessary libraries and launching the executable directly, I found the proper functioning of program! No errors of any kind!
- If I rename the directory again, giving the name provided in InstallShield, the program highlights the mistakes again!
I have to believe that this is some error induced in the registry system Windows (Windows 8.1) but I can not understand what could be!
Can anyone make assumptions?

I am using Visual Studio 2013 and InstallShield 2014. When trying to create an install process I get the message that it could not resolve the project output and I should buid it via Visual Studio. I have run the Build, the Re-Build and the Build again and it still fails. The other option mentioned is to use the command line but I do not know how to use that option. Any ideas?
Thanks
