SecurityService class not found

Hi,

I am trying to check for admin rights in my installer. I used the code

import com.zerog.ia.api.pub.CustomCodeRule;
import com.installshield.wizard.service.security.*;

public class AdminRule extends CustomCodeRule {

public boolean evaluateRule() {
SecurityService service = (SecurityService)
ruleProxy.getService(SecurityService.class);
boolean isAdmin = false;
try{
isAdmin = service.isCurrentUserAdmin();
}catch(Throwable e){}

return isAdmin;
}
}
But the above code gave me 'com.installshield.wizard.service.security.SecurityService class not found' error. I tried using InstallerProxy as advisedin the help manual.(Calling Installshield MultiPlatform APIs in Install Anywhere).

public class AdminRule extends CustomCodeRule {

public boolean evaluateRule() {
InstallerProxy ip;
SecurityService service = (SecurityService)
ip.getService(SecurityService.class);
boolean isAdmin = false;
try{
isAdmin = service.isCurrentUserAdmin();
}catch(Throwable e){}

return isAdmin;
}
}

But still getting the error in Service class.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Vidya

Vidya,

I think you need to add:


import static com.zerog.ia.api.pub.CustomCodeRule.ruleProxy;

In addition to the import static com.zerog.ia.api.pub.CustomCodeRule.ruleProxy, you need to configure the following jarfiles as dependencies of your class :

[LIST=1]
  • path\to\root\of\InstallAnywhereInstallation\resource\services\services.jar
  • path\to\root\of\InstallAnywhereInstallation\resource\services\ppk\windowsppk.jar


    With that, it works in my code. Thanx for the tip.

    Now,

    I have another question. In my CustomCodeRule class, I want to test from Netbeans which easier than building an installer everytime I change something. So I have:


    public static void main( String[] args ) {
    MyCustomCodeRule test_ccr = new MyCustomCodeRule();
    test_ccr.evaluateRule();
    }


    I get an exception at this line in my checkAdmin() method:


    SecurityService sservice = (SecurityService) ruleProxy.getService( SecurityService.class);


    I presume there is some sort of setup that InstallAnywhere does. Is that something I can mimic outside of it. Being able to test these classes outside of IA would speed my development time up greatly.

    Vidya,

    In your java code, you also need to do import com.installshield.wizard.service.security.SecurityService;

    Hi Sandy,

    I doubt my way of doing is wrong.

    Could you please tell me in steps for adding Execute custom code for checking admin rights?

    Hi Vidya,

    Try this-

    import com.installshield.wizard.service.security.SecurityService;
    import com.zerog.ia.api.pub.CustomCodeRule;

    public class AdminRule extends CustomCodeRule {

    public boolean evaluateRule() {
    CustomCodeRule.setCustomCodeRuleProxy(ruleProxy);
    SecurityService service = (SecurityService) ruleProxy
    .getService(SecurityService.class);
    boolean isAdmin = false;
    try {
    isAdmin = service.isCurrentUserAdmin();
    } catch (Throwable e) {
    }

    return isAdmin;
    }
    }


    - Create a jar
    - In the project file,add this in your custom rule
    - Add dependency services.jar from $IA_HOME$\resource\services\services.jar
    - Under Project > JVM Settings, enable checkbox 'Add service support for custom code'

    Let me know if this works.

    Thanks,
    Ramya

    Is it possible to get the final output as .msi file, instead of .exe format in InstallAnyWhere ?

    AFAIK this is not possible, as IA is multi platform, whereas .msi is Windows specific.
