FlexNet embedded + VxWorks and x86 processor

September 9, 2015, 5:58 am

Hello,

I am a firmware developer and new to this Community.

I am involved in a project for introducing a licensing management system on board of a numerical controller and I am trying to find out if FlexNet Embedded is the product which could do. My question is very preliminary:

the controller runs a firmware written in C++, based on vxWorks 5 (soon vxWorks 6) and a x86-32 processor. Is Flexera compatible with this configuration?

Thank you and regards.

P.S: I wrote to Flexera "Contact us" twice, but so far I got no answer.

How to control transparency and z-order for suite wizard pages

September 9, 2015, 11:09 am

I have a custom wizard page. On the page I have several labels that I want to overlay a faded out graphic. The graphic is not the background image, it is a standard png file.

When I run the application the labels end up drawing under the graphic no matter where I place the graphic in the order order of controls under the wizard page. I was hoping that the order of controls is the order in which it draws images and other controls.

Also I wanted to create a label with a transparent background, but when controls overlap each other the UI behaves strangely. If the controls overlap even a bit then the background for the label controls, which are normally transparent, now become a solid color that closely matches something from my gradient background. Also the PNG image file no longer has a transparent background.

Hopefully I am just missing something very simple here.

I have an installer contains some chained msi.
It can be uninstalled correctly via ARP on Window 10 system. But if uninstall via the entry Settings-> System-> Apps & Features-> uninstall, uninstallation would fail. The installation fails and there is a rollback immediately after the installation of the main package. Only with an error code 1603 at the end if the log. Part of rollback logs below.

Anyone can help on this case? Thanks in advance!

Suite: How to check for silent install as a property condition

I have an event that I would like to have execute ONLY if the setup is running in silent mode. I am looking in the log file for something that I can check to evaluate this but have not seen anything. It does not appear that the command line is a property that I can evaluate, because if it were then I could check to see if it contains the word silent.

Is there anything else I can do?

How to restore previous versions of files when uninstalling ism-created update

September 10, 2015, 11:47 am
$

0
We are using InstallShield 2013 Professional Edition and .ism files (NOT msi) to create software releases, and are also creating updates and patches to those releases.

We need to know how updates can be created in InstallShield to be uninstallable so that when the uninstall is done, the previous versions of updated files are restored automatically, so it is like the update was never there.

So for example, the base install delivers file A rev 1, file B rev 4, file C rev 8, and so on. Fixes and enhancements are made to SOME of the files. Then a "beta" update is released as an InstallShield exe built from an InstallScript Project and .ism file. That update replaces File A with rev 2 of that filename and file B with rev 6 of that filename. The other files are not being updated.

Then after some amount of time and after the "beta" update has been used, we want the "beta" update to be removed/uninstalled, and we want the system to be returned/restored to the state it was at BEFORE the update, so the files that were in the update are returned to the revision that they were at before the update was installed.

So in our example, when the update is uninstalled, we want file A to be returned to rev 1 (from 2), and file B to be returned to rev 4 (from 6). The other files were not changed, so there should be no impact to them. They will still be the same.

We assume that we will SAVE the files somewhere on the system that are getting replaced when installing the update, and then will RESTORE those files when the uninstall of the update is performed.

But it is not clear on how to get the LIST of files that need to be saved, nor how to replace them when the uninstall is done.

How do we go about accomplishing this?

No support for VS2015 Community Edition?

Installshield has been my installer of choice, but apparently there is now no support for Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. I'll likely be moving away from Community Edition anyway, but in the meantime, this gives me plenty of motivation to find another installation option that doesn't involve Flexera.

Is lack of Community Edition support a permanent policy, or a temporary oversight?

How to let IA installer know where my jars are - e.g. modify classpath variable(s)

September 14, 2015, 5:40 am

Hi All,

Let me start by saying that I know there is a specific forum for earlier versions of IA. I posted my questions there but those forums seem to get little use. I figured that my general questions could possibly be answered by someone using the newer versions as well.

I have been updating my VM bundles consistently to current JRE versions (e.g. 6, 7, 8) although I am still using IA 8. It works pretty well. However I am looking to upgrade now to Java 9 for the installer. Our application was always built and released with jar files in jre/lib/ext. I know this is not the best way to do it, but when I inherited the CM of the project it was already working that way.

Now w/java 9 extraneous jar files or extension dirs. are not allowed in the directory of the JRE. I have moved them to another location.

My issue is, how do I tell the installer where to find them now? I can't seem to edit the IA_CLASSPATH at all. Is this even the correct variable, or is there another that should be used? Also, do the jar files need to be present in the extracted launcher directory (e.g. /tmp/installdir.12345/..... on Linux) or can they be referenced from my installation location on my mounted ISO/DVD image via some environment variable that points to these areas?

Thanks in advance for any help.

IA-2015 cannot set java heap size for a “LaunchAnywhere for Java Application”

September 14, 2015, 1:08 pm

As you know the Java heap size of the application is always specified in bytes, not in kilobytes or megabytes. When you “Create LaunchAnywhere for Java Application” you can press “Edit properties” button and set the values for:

lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.initial
lax.nl.java.option.java.heap.size.max

When you create a LaunchAnywhere for Mac OS X Java Application, the installer not uses the values specified in these Lax Properties, instead are using the minimum and maximum heap size of the installer defined in: Project – JVM Settings – Installer Settings – Minimum Heap size and Maximum Heap size.

Launch second installation when the first finish fails on WIN8.1

Hi everybody,

I have to make 2 different installation one following the other.

The installation order is important, the second have to come after the first.

First installation is a BasicMSI built as non compressed release.
Second installation is an InstallscriptMSI built as a single exe.


The schema is: when the first is finished, clicking "OK" on the "SetupCompleteSuccess" mask I launch an installscript function that launches the second installer.

I use LaunchAppAndWait(szMyFullPathExe, "", NOWAIT); in the installscript function.


This works fine on XP, SEVEN, VISTA but not on Win8.1


I have tried also with LaunchApplication but the result is the same.

It always return a code -1. And do nothing.

Also launching a little .NET executable that launches the installer ... nothing.

Same (bad :mad:) result making a custom action in the Execute sequence ( placed after installfinalize) that launches the script function.


Has Win8 some security stuff that deny to an installer to launch a second installation ?


Note:
1) I have two different test pc; no AV sw installed. Just Windows Defender disabled. UAC set the lowest level.

2) I need to execute some code before launch the second installation, so I need to execute it from an installscript function.



Thanks in advance.

XML files replacement not working in silent installer

Hello Team,

We have a requirement for setup to run both in UI & Silent Installation. In the setup, we need to change the config files parameters (like IP Address & Port) dynamically during the installation. For this implementation, the installer has been designed with custom dialog boxes to get the values from user during the installation with XML & Text file changes. The same has been passed as a parameter in command prompt during the silent installation.

The observation is, In UI installation installer working fine as expected. During Silent Installation, the Text replacement has been working properly but XML file changes are not working properly.

I would appreciate, If anyone could provide the solution for this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Can't configure IIS 8.5

September 16, 2015, 7:01 am

I have created an install package using Installshield 2013 professional for our remote service application. This application uses a combination of some services, a SQL database, and an ASP.NET website so that our clients can monitor the status of their printers via a website. The installation package works fine on Windows 7 which uses IIS 6.1, but, when we attempt to install on Windows Server 2012 R2 which uses IIS 8.5, the installation fails when attempting to configure IIS.

I've tried running the setup package with the /s /fs parameters so that a log file would be created, but I'm not seeing a log file either. If I do a custom install and choose not to install the website (no config changes to IIS), then the installation package runs through and completes.

I've done a pretty good amount of digging, and I haven't found a solution yet. So, any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I'm going to investigate writing a PowerShell script that will handle the IIS configuration during the installation, but I'd rather not go down that road if I don't have to.

Thanks in advance.

Hello. I am working with InstallShield 2015 Pro and I have a Basic MSI project. I am trying to detect whether a specific USB device is plugged in or not. I created a custom interior dialog with prompt to plug in the device and I wanted to enable 'Next' button only when it is done. I need it for another custom action for calling attached .exe (kinda installation for my device).

Is it even possible?

Thanks in advance.
