merge modul destination Path not set

June 28, 2017, 1:40 am

Hello,
i have a problem setting the destination path of a merge modul. I have set the path of the merge modul in the redistributable view (properties of the merge modul).
I set the proerty called DLC_STARTUP in a Custom Dialog with MsiSetProperty. If i display the DLC_STARTUP property in a messagebox (in UI Sequence or Execute Sequence)
the property contains the correct value. But the files of the merge modul a install to a wrong location!
I found out, that if i set the property hard coded in a Custom Action called after AppSearch in UI Sequence and Execute Sequence than the value is used and the merge modul is
installed to the hard coded destination.

But this is to early because the Custom Dialog is called after InstallWelcome and there i want to set the path of the merge modul...

How can i handle this? With MsiGetProperty i always get the correct value after setting it but the merge modul get an empty value and is installed in C:\ and not in the specified path.

Any Idea?

thx

Where is this "Template Summary" property?

June 28, 2017, 11:31 am

I installed the package for Visual Studio 2015 and added my single file COM DLL server to the package. But after building and running the "Install" command (from the Visual Studio 2015 shortcut menu for my Setup1 project, I get an unknown HRESULT (-2147220472). I can dismiss that error and the installer proceeds and I get a HRESULT of -2147220473. Again, an unknown error (Error Lookup fails to find a message).

I checked the log file and the first problem that shows up is "Error loading ISBEW64.exe ... File does not exist". I also see that the installer is still trying to install in the X86 prgram folder. I also get errors failing to registery my DLL. I had to remove the setting where I used the primary program output because I couldn't find "Self Registering" on the file's COM property page and specifically point to the fully qualified path to my DLL to get that to show up.

Hoping the root issue is the bit-ness, I used Help and found "64-Bit Windows Installer Packages". There it tells me to change the "Template Summary" property. But where is that? I have the General Information page up. I did find the 'INSTALLDIR' and set it to [ProgramFiles64Folder]. But I see nothing that looks like it would be the "Template Summary" property. Searching on-line I found a reference for an earlier version of Flexera that says it is under Summary Information Stream. But I only have Title, Subject, Author, Keywords, Summary Information Stream Comments, Schema and Require Administrative Priviledges.

I cleaned and rebuilt hoping that the version I have simply keys off the INSTALLDIR property but I got the same results.

I've been searching all the settings to find the property but have failed. So where is this property? I'm hoping if I can find it and change it per the Help topic, setup will succeed. Oh, and ISBEW64.exe simply isn't on my machine. So I have little faith it will be on an end-user's box.

Hi,
Wonder if someone has come across this and help. Newbie to AAC so go easy :)

Looking to
I) Convert a legacy EXE app to MSI using AAC
ii) Conversion happens fine and VM shutdowns down as should do at end of process
iii) on the AAC console it reports
Retrieving repackaged output from the VM...
Error 0x0003 copying file "\\..\\<filename>"

and conversion doesn't complete. Sure its something probably silly, doing nothing fancy - very much a default install

I have Visual Studio 2015 and used the Setup and Deployment project from the Other Project Types. That led me to download InstallShield Limited Edition Project. So I have a setup created for a simple COM object and it is failing. I found this error in the log file:

Later I get an error that ISBEW64 cannot be found. So does anyone know what's going on?

Difference between Local Admin and User part of group Admin ?

Hello Friends,

I am facing a unique problem. My Installer is suppose to work with administrator user.
The scenario here is, when user is logged as local administrator, all goes well..
BUT, when logged in user is part of Administrator group, and invokes the setup, it fails in performing some actions due to insufficient admin privileges..
Why is it so? I am not doing anything specifically for this behavior,I have just set the requires administrator privileges settings in Release section.

My question is - Ideally both Local Admin user AND user part of Admin group, should have equal rights, but then why the behavior is different in Installshield?

Any thoughts please.

Thanks

When does the INI file changes trigger?What is the sequence?

Hello friends,
In my installer, i am creating a Web url shortcut using the INI file changes technique. [http://www.installationdeveloper.com/316/how-to-create-an-internet-shortcut/]

the problem here is:
The url has the text https:\\[IISHOSTNAME]
IISHOSTNAME is a property whose default value is "localhost" which later gets updated in due course of installation to "WIN161"

But when the installation finishes, i can see that the url shortcut gets created with url : https://localhost

This shows that the URL shortcut creation via INI file changes takes place before the [IISHOSTNAME] property gets updated to "WIN161"

So i want to know, is there any way i can create the url shortcut with the updated value of [IISHOSTNAME]? Can i sequence the INI file changes to the end of the installation so that the shortcut creation takes place in the end with the updated value.

Please suggest.
Thanks

Hello Friends,

ISHiddenProperties properly works when you start your installation. But when you need to reboot your system [such as cases after installing SQL], when next time the installation resumes again all the hidden properties values will be displayed in the log files

Any solution for this? please suggest.

MSI uninstall creates bluescreen

I'm getting better with time with Installshield and creating MSI but recently i've been working on a MSI that has been created couple years ago by a colleague that does not work here anymore.
Long story short, when I'm running the uninstall of the product, it tries to access certain registry key like HKLM\SYStem\Currentcontrolset which has nothing to do with the product itself and tries to delete the whole tree.
I'm a bit lost on where to look at in Installshield to prevent this action in the uninstall process.
Can somebody give me some directions ? Thanks in advance

Visual Studio 2017 and Path Variable Overrides

August 10, 2017, 12:46 pm

We are in the process of upgrading from VS 2013 to VS 2017. In VS 2013 the file structure on our Build Agent is:
D:\Builds\n\ReleaseName (where n=1-4 on Build Agent 1). Under that are 2 folders:
bin <-- files got built to here
src
I used Path Variable Overrides to resolve the folder structure difference between my development machine and the Build Agent

On the VS 2017 Build agent the folder structure is:
D:\Builds\1. Under that are:
--- a (artifacts)
--- b (binaries)
--- s (source)
------ Project Folders
------ bin
------ obj
------ etc

How have the rest of you handled this?
Do we just ditch the Path Variable Overrides?
Is there a way to make my 2017 Build Agent use a similar folder structure as VS 2013?

Thanks

What Install Action Writes the Add Remove Programs Information...

August 10, 2017, 1:27 pm

Hi all,

Does RegisterProduct write the ARP stuff during the install?

I have a per user install where we want to tweak the version displayed in ARP from Windows Installer's #.#.# format to #.#.#.#. In our other installs that require Admin rights we have a little widget that tweaks, but since I have an install that must not require Admin rights, I can't tweak it (even though it appear to be written in an HKLM UserData area).

What I was trying to do is isolate the action that writes the ARP info, run a set property custom action to set the ProductVersion to the #.#.#.# format, then restore it to its #.#.# value after the action writes it to ARP.

Is that possible or does it have potentially harmful issues. We see no ill effects in our other Admin rights install as we are only tweaking a specific registry value. However, I don't know if changing the value, then running an install action that uses it will have more widespread effects.

Anyway, just wondering what action writes ARP display stuff and I can play around that.

Thanks for any info!
