I am using Installshield LE with Visual Studios 2013 and cannot find how to set the REINSTALLMODE. Can someone please give me a step by step on how to set the REINSTALLMODE through visual studios?
You will need to pass the property in as a command line parameter during run time. Unfortunately, LE does not have the functionality to pass in the property from the wrapper or edit properties before build like Professional edition or above.
You can still pass it in as a command line parameter when running the setup. You just cannot include it in the wrapper and let it be passed in automatically.
I cannot find where inside of visual studios installshield to add the command line. Could you please give me some details as to how to find it? It isn't in the release --> setup.exe tab, and I cannot find out where else it would go.
There is no command line field for the limited edition to pass the parameter from the setup.exe wrapper to the MSI in the limited edition. You will need to pass in the parameter when you run the setup.exe through the command prompt or distribution programs.
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the active x portion. Does the dll files get replaced if the upgrade is performed by running just the setup.exe? If not, are they versioned?
Hey kyi, no they do not. I just tried running the setup.exe and it updated, but it did not update the dll's sadly.
So you said that you do not deal with the tag for implementing the release of your setup.exe, so how is it you release yours? Asking because I might need a different way to release it.
So I think I discovered my problem. Ok so I have 3 projects. One is my application, 2) the code that the plugin will install 3) Flexera project.
Well, when I was updating the 2nd project, I was not changing the version. I think that was preventing it from updating. I haven't done major testing, but I changed it once and the dll's were updated. Later on when I get a chance, if I notice it isn't I'll respond back
In the mean time, thank you so much KYI for your help!
