Custom Actions not working when public desktop not present
I have an installshield 2013 installer which does not work on machines when the 'C:\users\public\desktop' folder is not present. Extract from the installer log is below. Doesn't tell me a great deal. I don't think the custom action is being called - seems to fail before it gets there. The event log on the machine contains entries with event ID 1000 saying that msiexec has faulted, pointing the finger at ole32.dll.
I used Process Monitor to see what the installer was doing and eventually found out that the public desktop folder (C:\users\public\desktop) was missing. If I created this folder, then the install works fine. What I don't understand is what is that folder being used for, and how I can change this behaviour? I created a new install project from scratch that just delivered a single file. It worked absolutely fine until I added a custom action (which does nothing more than call SprintfMsiLog()). As soon as I added that, this new installer crashed in the same way.
So.. can anyone explain the reliance on this public desktop folder? I can't even work round it by writing a custom action to put it there, as the custom action will never get run due to the crash! The target OS for this installer is Server 2008 R2.
I'd really appreciate any input - tearing my hair out here!
Thanks,
Al.

InstallAnywhere does not set the environment variable on AWS
The installer works fine on Linux and the environment variables are set correct.
But, the same installer does not set the environment variable when running on AWS environment.
Also, on AWS no messages are written on to the Console(Output Text to Console Action).
Installer is started as sudo su

On the SAB machines I have placed the Node-js folder in

To eliminate a descrepancy between \2015 and \2015SAB I also tried placing the Nod-JS folder in D:\ and then edited the prereq in my project to reflect that. Same error.

Application Manager - Fails to distribute app to SCCM
When I use "Distribution Wizard" and want to publish an Application to SCCM, I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
When I test the connection to the server I get no errors.
Tried to Distribute as a package and everything is ok!
I get this errormessage in adminstudiohost.log:
ERROR: PluginInfo.BaseDeployPlugin.GetStorageSpecificationByName - Failed to retrieve custom storage object 'cstblSetupFiles'
ERROR: PluginInfo.BaseDeployPlugin.GetSetupFiles - Could not extract cstblSetupFiles storage!
ERROR: AdminStudio.ApplicationFramework.Controller.Tasks.BaseTask.ExecuteSequence - System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Is this error the user provided access to the server? Is it the package itself causing this? Anything else?

MS .net framework full package or greater needs to be installed

When I create an installation package using VS 2015 and installshield on the Installation requirements tab I click yes to the option 'Does your application require any software
to be installed on the machine' and then I tick the selection 'Microsoft .Net framework 4.5 Full installation' .
However when the application is being installed on the test machine I receive the error 'MS .net framework full package or greater needs to be installed for this installation to continue.'
Should the installation package not include the .Net framework?
thankss

InstallShield - 4 node release
I have a product that uses a 4 node release number. The problem I'm running into is that on the upgrade when I want to increment only the fourth node (eg. 5.40.002.100 to 5.40.002.101), Install Shield isn't recognizing that this is an upgrade. When you look in Add/Remove Programs after the upgrade, both the old and new instances of the product are listed. Can someone help me resolve this?

ProductCode and UpgradeCode out of sync
Background:
We have an installer where the setup files have gotten their ProductCode and UpgradeCodes out of sync from previous versions.
The chronology of the builds goes something like this:
1.0.0.0
1.0.0.1
1.0.0.2
So from version .0 to .1, the UpgradeCode was modified. From version .1 to .2, the ProductCode was modified. I am now ready to deploy version 1.0.0.3. It has the same ProductCode and UpgradeCode as 1.0.0.2:
1.0.0.3
At this point, all earlier versions are installed out there somewhere. So I have some users on v1.0.0.0, some on v1.0.0.1, etc.
The question is, is there any way to configure InstallShield so that I can get all of them back on the same ProductCode and Upgrade code so that going forward, I can run proper updates? By a proper update, I mean that when the setup exe runs, it notifies the user that this is an update and then only updates files as needed.
As it is now, if a user on a version prior to the ProductCode change (<1.0.0.2), and runs 1.0.0.3, it does not recognize this as an upgrade and installs the new version along side the old one. However, if they have 1.0.0.2 (on the new ProductCode) and run 1.0.0.3, it works fine. This is all expected, as I understand that the installer recognized different ProductCodes as different products, but what I need is a way to get everything back in sync with the latest setup file.
Lastly, our setup file includes options to select specific features and a custom option selector. If it does a fresh install, or anything other than a proper upgrade, these panels show up in the installer with the original default settings. We want to avoid having these pop up during an upgrade, which is why it is so important to get the setup file back in sync so that upgrades are upgrades and fresh installs are fresh installs all around. Oh, and we want to avoid having the user uninstall/reinstall the product because the user may not know aforementioned setup options the second time around.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

How to automatically overwrite the existing install with the latest Setup script?
We have InstallShield 2012 Spring - Premier Edition and we are trying to replace the existing install of our software (if it exists) with whatever is in the new Setup script when Setup.exe is run again.
Currently, if our software was previously installed, when we run our Setup script, it enters into maintenance mode. Our maintenance mode screen contains only the option to uninstall the software since we don't want our users to modify/repair it.
What we want is when Setup.exe is run, that the existing install is overwritten with the newest files. I read some things on Maintenance Experience. Right now, it is set as “Standard”. We could set this to “Multi-Instance” and then Qualifying Product(s) Detected dialog would get displayed to the user, but I also read that Qualifying Product(s) Detected dialog cannot be customized. It contains the option to install a new instance of our software which we don’t want to allow the user to do.
Is there any way we can make the current setup script overwrite the existing install of our software on that machine without any user intervention or the user having to manually select what they want to do? Thank you in advance.

Uniinstallation does not remove services
Hi,
I wrote an Install script code which installs well. But at time of uninstallation , everything goes well but it does not remove services.
I googled it and got links to configure services from "Advanced Settings->Services" tab of installshield.But there is no such tab as "Services" in InstallShield 2009.
Is there a separate api to remove services or that service must provide an option to uninstall?

First post and I'm hoping someone can help with a little frustration.
Red Hat subscriptions are set to expire. That expiry date has now passed but the licences are still showing as available despite several reconciles later.
Tried also expiring the contract and cancelling the PO.. Short of deleting the PO I'm not sure what to do? (FNMS 2014 R3)

Installshield exposing xml file in SingleImage while building
Hi,
I would like to build an InstallShield executable which exposes certain XML files included in the project while building it. The xml files should be modifyable externally and should get copied to the InstallDir once installation starts. It should be similar to how a CD ROM Build works, but I only need the xml files to be external and other files to be packaged inside.
Ive tried using the move table method to copy the xml files to the install dir, but manually placing those xml files into the setup dir is not what I am looking for. Need a way to automate the process, so that whenever I build in Installshield, the xmls should be placed along side the .exe file generated, similar to how CD ROM build does.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : To make my question clearer, Id like to make a partially uncompressed installation file, so that Ill be able to modify xml files externally.

Installer does not resume after installer initiated reboot, malformed RunOnce command
I'm putting together an installer, and I have a custom Prerequisite that is set to "Reboot the machine and resume on reboot"
When the prerequisite tells the installer and the installer tells the user that a reboot is needed, the InstallShield installer writes the following value to the HKCU RunOnce key
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Value Name: ISSetupPrerequisistes
Value Data: ""C:\\Users\\My User\\Desktop\\Installer\\Setup.exe""
InstallShield is writing this string to the RunOnce key with TWO sets of double quotes which renders the command string such that the installer fails to resume after a reboot
This did not happen with older versions of InstallShield. I tried a version of the installer from last year and the InstallShield installer wrote to the RunOnce key properly with only one set of double quotes
How can I work around this issue so that my installer can resume again after a reboot?

So, I've been using Install shield to create a setup file. It is a 64-bit setup file(FYI : it has some 32 bit exes in it). On installing this setup, its getting properly in the destined location ("C:\<Software_Name>\"). But, on checking the registry path, its getting registered in the below path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432NodeMicrosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
which is 32 bit software path where it actually should have been registered under 64 bit path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
I built 32-bit setup file for the same software and entry is getting registered on the same location(this one is normal behavior off course).
Can someone clear me my following doubt on this
Any sort of guidance on this is much appreciated. Thanks in Advance. :)

Quote:

Can someone clear me my following doubt on this
- Is setting a registry location done within Install shield by default or explicitly?
- If explicitly, Should registry location be decided by us during building in install shield or somewhere else?
- If we provide somewhere else explicitly, what would happen to the 32-bit registry location created in my case?
Any sort of guidance on this is much appreciated. Thanks in Advance. :)

Silent installer produces file with errors in directory install is launched from
Hi,
I have an installer, that when run in gui or console mode, works fine.
We have a bunch of customer installer people and QA who want to use the silent installer.
When they do it produces an error file called "custom" in the directory the installer was launched from.
What is producing this file? The installer runs to completion and says it's ok, but users say some artifacts are not right.
The installer runs custom code to accomplish most of what it does. Just guessing the title of the file produced, "custom", might have to do with that. Any ideas would be appreciated.
