Checking for running process with VB Script in Custom action fails?

Trying to check if Outlook is running with the following VB script in a Custom Action:


On Error Resume Next
Dim Outlook: Set Outlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err.Number = 0 Then
' Outlook is running
MsgBox "Outlook is currently running. Please close it to proceed installation.", 16, "Setup"
Else
' Outlook is not running
Err.Clear
End If
On Error Goto 0


Every time I try to run the build installation package it fails with this error:

Error 1720. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Custom action ProcessCheckerScript script error -2146827256, Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Invalid character Line 1, Column 1, On Error Resume Next

Anyone who can guide me in the right direction so that I can check if the process is running before installing and then ask user to close the process before user can continue the installation?

Web based install

I have an install that currently works from the windows desktop. It's in IS2010 but I will update to 2018 version.

Do I simply move the built files to a web server or FTP site to do a web based install?
I searched the docs but maybe this is such a simple concept it's not covered?

Are their any hardware related tasks to help Installshield build faster? Our build servers currently are 8c/32gb machines, but wanted to know what installshield benefits the most from.

Our packaging ranges from 5 minutes to about 2 hours depending on the size of the package.

Connect to Oracle in InstallScript MSI

I have read all the other posts on connecting to Oracle in InstallShield. Also, I have created the Oracle Instant Client and ODBC prerequisite according to the Help topic, "Downloading the Oracle Basic Instant Client and the Oracle ODBC Instant Client and Creating an .msi Package and InstallShield Prerequisite for Both ".

After the prerequisite is installed and the Oracle connection dialog displays, the servers are not enumerated. When I try to connect, it says it can't find the driver and "...may need to set the location of ORACLE_HOME." I have tried that, but have not been able to point it to the right place.

Has anyone had success with connecting to Oracle in InstallShield lately?

Warning 1946. Property for shortcut could not be set

November 8, 2018, 9:34 am

Hello,

I have a problem while installing my product.
I get "Warning 1946. Property <propertyName> for shortcut <shortcutName> could not be set" message box for each "shell property" I set to my shortcuts.

I've noticed that after Installshield shows those errors for the first time, it will always show them with each install on the same machine.
Even with old installs which used to work just fine

I've created a VM and have tried to figure out what is causing these warnings.
I was surprised to see that on the VM, this warning doesn't appear.
I've installed/removed/upgraded different versions of my product but I couldn't reproduce the warning.
* all of the upgrades are "major upgrades" which means uninstall of the current version, and an installation of the new version.

My questions are:
What causes warning 1946 to pop up (I've seen that a possible reason is if another process hold the lnk file, but it doesn't seem to be the case here)
How to fix a machine after warning 1946 has already appeared on once.

It would be great if anyone would be able to answer my questions.
Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English.

Web Deployment Project

I'm currently evaluating InstallShield 2018 Premier as we're still on 2008 Professional.

Most of our projects are pretty simple VB6/.Net desktop projects, but we do have the odd web deployment package. Currently we install many of these manually using the web deployment tools in IIS, but we would like to create a simple installation package to do it for us. My understanding is that Premier can handle these types of projects as a Suite/Advanced UI Project, but upon creating such a project I'm running into a few hurdles.

The documentation here seems to me to be quite sparse. My built package prompts for a Site Name for my Local IIS Server and no matter what I enter here I am later presented with a message saying "Site 'xx' does not exist.", pointing me to a Microsoft link. Are there any tutorials around for this kind of project?

Failing that, it seems we may have to use the old method with a number of custom scripts and user controls.

Getting "Invalid key data supplied" when building Flex library

Hi. I'm trying to build the Flex libraries for 64-bit for the first time (32-bit builds fine). But I'm getting the following error at the start of build. It's built lmnewgen and executing it, but the execution is failing.

if exist lm_new.c del lm_new.c
lmnewgen.exe <company name>
v8.1+ FlexNet, using TRL
lc_init failed: Invalid key data supplied.
FlexNet Licensing error:-44,49
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '.\lmnewgen.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

One suggestion I had was that we hadn't purchased a 64-bit license. However, our receipt from Flexera indicates that we'd puchased both 32-bit and 64-bit support.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. We've logged a support request with Flexera, but I'm getting old waiting on a reply.

Thanks...

Dual Signature Delay between signing

November 9, 2018, 1:47 pm

When using Comodo digital signatures for signing, Comodo states there needs to be at least a 15 second delay between signing so their severs don't get hammered. They appear to be getting more and more fussy about that 15 second delay. I've had to adjust my scripts to accommodate these delays so I don't have failures.

Is there a way to add a delay before signing of a user specified amount or hard code 15 seconds before signing?

When I build with IS, especially via command line via scripts, I've been getting more and more errors, especially with dual signatures, because it's doing back to back requests.

Currently, InstallShield aborts installing when it finds that a newer version of a package is already present. It is done to prevent downgrade. However, is there a way to make the installer skip installing the package and continue the installation process?

why the "Change Object Settings" menu is disable in InstallShield 2018 Express

hi,
i buy a InstallShield 2018 Express Perpetual License, which is $749.00.

i use InstallShield to build a java based program. my case is if the setup.exe find local Windows does not install JRE, then it will install JRE firstly. if it finds, then InstallShield will bypass the JRE isntallation and install my jars directly.
previously when i use a trial InstallShield2018SP1PremierComp.exe, i test my case and successfully. then i buy a license, but now i find this JRE check process fail. it always install the JRE.

when i use trial InstallShield, i can create my JRE prerequisite in "Redistributables" function. and my "JRE 64bit.prq" content is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<SetupPrereq>
<conditions>
<condition Type="1" Comparison="2" Path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\1.8.0_181" FileName="" ReturnValue=""/>
</conditions>
<files>
<file LocalFile="C:\Users\jcai\Downloads\jre-8u181-windows-x64.exe" CheckSum="7F125BD071F2F83D91A8146BCB48BDA5" FileSize="0,71792504"/>
</files>
<execute file="jre-8u181-windows-x64.exe"/>
<properties Id="JRE 64bit" Description="JRE 64bit"/>
<behavior Failure="4"/>
</SetupPrereq>

now i input the license code, which is "Serial Number" in the order email. i find the UI has changes. i can not add new prerequisite, and when i try to edit my prerequisite by right click it, i find "Change Object Settings" menu is disable and gray.

who can tell me why and how to implement my case?

Some files not installed sometimes

Hi, I encountered a situation where some files were not installed sometimes during InstallFiles action. The files were under component (A) which has the same condition/configuration as component (B). The files in component (B) would always be installed as expected but those in component (A) might not be installed sometimes. When this happened, the log file didn't capture any information about component (A) at all. Is there any place that I should look at / debug? Thanks.

InstallShield 2012 won't run after reactivating license

I tried to open InstallShield 2012 today, and was prompted to reactivate our license.
After successfully doing this, I now can't open the program. Nothing happens when I try, and there's no error message.
When I open Task Manager it seems like a process called ProtectionProcessorCleanup.0001 kills the program when I try to open it.
Any ideas?

Kind regards
