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
