Installscript and Vista

[ced_oce]

Hello,

Our application is an installscript procedure (it has been written 7 years ago...).

In our next release, we have to support vista, but after having done some tests with our installscript on vista, I encountered a lot of problems for executing administrator tasks (like register ocx for example).

Is there a solution for supporting vista with an installsctipt without changing too much the Installshield project?

Our application is running for years, the customers do not have any problem with our installation I am not too confident for changing the IS project which could bring a lot of new problems...

What's the best solution in our case?

Thanks,
Cédric.

InstallShield 2008 and pure InstallScript and Vista works great for me.

And do you perform actions requiring admin privileges?

Do you start you setup.exe by specifying that the task should run in admin mode?

[Holger_G]

Yes, I set the Required Execution Level of the Setup.exe to Administrator if my Setup performs tasks which need elevated privileges.

I had a same problem with register ocx in Vista (getting an error message during installation). I think Vista has a newer version of ocx, if you try to register older version, Vista will displaying an error message.
