Show Message Dialog results variable is not recorded
In my installer, I have a "Show Message Dialog" action to ask user to choose Yes/No, the Results Variable is $YES_NO_BUTTON$, when I run the installer with -r to generate a response file, but the variable YES_NO_BUTTON is not recorded in the response file.
I am using IA2013, is it a bug of Installanywhere?
Thanks,

Scrolling with mouse on SdAskOptionDialog
Hello,
I'm maintaining an installscript project which uses SdAskOptionsList dialog for user country selection. As you can quess this list is quite large and we'd like our users to find the correct country quickly. Is there any way to enable mouse scrolling in this list? In this time and age using only scrollbar to navigate seems a bit clumsy.
I found this ancient topic covering the same issue with no answers whatsoever: https://community.flexerasoftware.co...dAskOptionList

Pre-installation summary panel shows gibberish
Hi,
I'm working on installer of our tool.There is a problem that the Pre-Installation summary panel displays gibberish on my computer (see attachment).
Other panels are Ok.
Other comupters I tried are also Ok.
When I copy the text from panel to some note application it displays correctly.
Installation uses OracleJRE8u51 VM pack. I haven't tried other yet.
Is there a way how to force a font on that panel? I haven't found an option for that.
Thanks,
Vlasta

Uninstall shortcut in Start Menu disappear when disable change/repair option in win10
Dear all,
I want to set Uninstall shortcut in Start Menu, so i can click this shortcut to uninstall software.
Because of some reasons, i need to disable change/repair options.
it works all fine in win7.
But in win10, Uninstall shortcut in Start Menu just disappear.
It's weird.
Only Uninstall shortcut in Start Menu disappear, other shortcuts don't have this problem.
I'm sure that disable change/repair options cause this.
I tried to find some solution, such as change another icon for Uninstall shortcut.
It still didn't work.
It seems icon has nothing to do with this issue.
I am very frustrated. Anyone can help? Thanks!
By the way, the following is my installshield setting information.

Can't modify files in Common Files folder - Windows 10 specific issue
Hi
I am trying to attach SQL database copied in "Program Files(x86)\common files\My Folder" and then modify them in installation process itself. User Account Control is ON
I am able to install database files in above directory. Then using custom action to attach database. While attaching database using sqlcmd it upgrades the database if it of lower version. This is standard when you try to attach SQL 2008 database to higher version.
My custom action is Differed in system context and placed before install finalise.
This works great on Window 7 but fails on Windows 10.
I am wondering why I am now allowed to attach database.
Thanks in advance.

Merge module not getting upgraded (Minor upgrade)
Hi,
Our basic MSI project has two merge modules. We are developing the new version (6.1) which supports the below upgrades:
4.0 to 6.1, 5.0 to 6.1 (Major upgrades)
6.0 to 6.1 (Minor upgrade)
The major upgrades to 6.1 are working perfectly fine but one of the merge module is not getting upgraded during the minor upgrade.
There are no components removed or renamed from 6.0 to 6.1. Changes are there only in the file versions (6.0.xxx.0 to 6.1.0.0). The log file doesn't give any hint. For all the components in the merge module (which does not upgrade), the minor upgrade log file says Installed: Local; Request: Null; Action: Null.
How can we find the reason why the components in this merge module alone is not getting installed during minor upgrade?
Thanks,
Sooraj

How do you launch a URL after uninstall?
I am using IS 2015 Express Version 22.
When a user uninstalls my software I would like to ask them their reasons. I have seen some programs that show an "exit survey" after they are uninstalled. I would like to do that.
My idea is to launch the users default browser and go to a url where there is an exit survey after an uninstall.
How can I do this? Please give an example if possible as I am not a good coder and saying something like "just use custom actions" does me no good?
Or, if you have a better or different idea on how to do this please advise?

Force Feature to install if condition is met during major upgrade
I'm trying to add the ability to out upgrade process to configure the system for a test environment vs production if a certain file is present in the system (for ease of the testers). I am not having much luck in getting this to work. This is a for a major upgrade wrapped in a setup.exe.
I'm looking for any advice on how to accomplish this since I'm still learning about all the bells/whistles of installshield.
fwiw, here's my entire script
This script runs synchronously/Immediate Execution. I have it configured to run After ValidateProuctID and I've tried also doing it right before CostFinalize
This is the current error I'm receiving when running the install
Note: If I try to set the install level to 0 per the remarks for FeatureRequestState, that line will bomb with a similar error
- I first tried setting the feature to conditionally install but if the feature wasn't install during the full install, it won't attempt to install during the major upgrade. I've tried a variety of different options but it has not worked yet.
- I'm now trying to use a custom action to force it to install by using vbscript . That is generation application errors during the install and I'm not seeing much in the way of doing it other than how I'm currently doing it.Code:
Session.FeatureRequestState("Test_Environment") = 3

How to detect whether the setup executed is from inside a compressed folder or not?
Recently one of our customer ran into a problem, where they tried to execute an installer from inside a compressed folder. Usually if an installer doesn't have any dependent folder/files there is no problem, but when it has dependent files/folders then that particular installer will only be copied into temp folder for execution and that's where the problem lies as it will stop getting executed further due to unavailability of other dependent files in temp location.
Does any one know any API/Functions to detect whether a user is running executable from inside a compressed folder? If possible please help me in finding out the path of the compressed folder location i.e a zip location from where the installer is running. So that by just checking the ".zip" extension in the path we can advice the customer in a form of message.
I have already checked SOURCEDIR, SETUPEXEDIR, GETFILEINFO(), PACKAGE_LOCATION and CURRENTDIR functions to get the location of a compressed folder but it's always ending up displaying TEMP folder location.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishnan

Select valid path from multiple paths searched by system search
Hi
I am trying to find location of sqlcmd file on computer. It is installed as part of the Sql installation. There can be multiple sql servers instalelled on machine. I want any one of them for my use.
Location of the path is stored at example location stated below. This path changes from version to version.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\ClientSetup\path
Another way is to search for registry key ODBCToolsPath which can vary from product to product.
OR
is there any way to search full registry hive ....\Microsoft\microsoft sql server\.......
I want to select the first path searched in this registry key which is valid and use in custom action for running a custom action.
Is there any elegant way to do this ?

Custom Action Error 3
I have an installshield which works fine on any number of machines, but have just recently found two machines where it fails. When I run the installer, following the dialog where it says it is extracting the msi, I get a dialog saying that the wizard was interrupted before the install could be completed. I have compared the installer log file from this node, and a successful one, and see the following differences. For the node that fails:

InstallShield 13:19:38: Done Initializing...
InstallShield 13:19:38: Registering Msi Server...
I have some calls to SprintfMsiLog in my custom action - and none of these are seen when the install fails - the very first thing the function does is audit a message. The run that fails never sees a message saying 'Done Initializing' either, suggesting to me that something is wrong with the IS engine? Does this even make sense? It feels like there's something not right in the setup of the node that fails, as this installer works most of the time, but I'm struggling to see what it is :-(
I see errors in the windows event log about "Faulting application MsiExec.exe faulting module ole32.dll, exception code 0xc0000005, but not a lot of information other than that. An exception code of 0xc0000005 would normally mean 'Access Denied' to me, but not sure what access is being denied to. I am running the installer as administrator.
Is anyone able to shed any light on this mystery or suggest troubleshooting tips?

Suite Project build - launch gives IDS_ERROR_NO_WIZARD_PAGES
This only occurs on one machine which is extremely low on disk space. The project is a wrapper for two other install executables. Our tester has enough room to download the 1.6 G byte executable file. There is only 15.4 M Bytes left of available free space which is obviously not enough to run the install normally. She was expecting a "not enough disk space" message, but instead got the above message in a dialog. It probably did not have enough disk space for the launch. My question here is, should there be a better error message or is it assumed from the message above that one should make more room for the launch of the wrapper project (which won't work anyways because there is not enough disk space).

Patch issues?
Hi All,
I'm getting an error when trying to generate a patch with 2 previous versions.
Prev 1 : 5.0.0.1
Prev 2 : 5.0.1.13
Latest : 5.0.1.20
When I try this and "build patch" I get the following error :
This patch contains multiple transform sets and is a mixture of QFE, minor, and/or major patches
From what I've seen in searching for this particular error on the web, it seems as if it doesn't like the fact that I'm trying to generate a patch including a minor (e.g. 5.0.0.1 to 5.0.1.13) update AND a QFE (small?) update (e.g. 5.0.1.13 to 5.0.1.20).
Is there any way I can do this? Or if the patch includes an update in the revision version number, I can only then patch to another revision number increment like as follows :
Prev 1 : 5.0.0.1
Prev 2 : 5.0.1.13
Latest : 5.0.2.7
Thanks,
Daniel
