MDAC 2.8 and Billboards
Hello People
In an Installscript Project in Installshield 2008 Premeir i do the following:
1) Add MDAC 2.8 merge module with default settings and values
2) Add billboards and some executables for testing the installation.
3) Compile the installation.
On a system where there is no MDAC 2.8 i try executing the installation.
The MDAC 2.8 gets installed fine before the setup.. but the billboards do not appear at all even after restart.
Can someone pleeeeeeeeeeaaase help me with this.

Did you enable the background window in your script? Also, what are the names of the billboard files you are including?

Hi
Thank you for replying..
I did the following
1) Include the billboards by the name bbrd1.bmp, bbrd2.bmp and so on..
2) Enabled the background script
3) used the placewindow API to enable billboards
The problem is the same set of procedures is working in Installshield 10 and not in Installshield 2008 Premeir..
I am only using some test executables and the MDAC 2.8 merge modules with its defualt values..
The compilation is done in WinXP SP2 Professional which i dont think would make a difference.
Thank you in advance..

In a sample InstallScript project I tested this with, I tried the following:
1. Included a few files in one feature.
2. Added three billboards in the Support Files/Billboards|Billboards|Language Independent view.
3. Turned on the background window in the OnShowUI event in the script.
4. Included MDAC 2.8 in the Objects view.
I tested the installation on a Windows 2000 machine that had MDAC 2.53 installed. During the installation, file transfer started and displayed the billboards that were included in the Support Files/Billboards view. After the file transfer completed, the merge module holder object kicked off the MDAC 2.8 install. No billboards were displayed during the object installation (this would be expected). The installation then completed after that.
Are you working with a sample project that reproduces this issue, or is this a project that was created in an older release of InstallShield and migrated forward?

Thank you so much for replying..
I did this is in a new installscript project..
The only difference i can see in your installation and mine is that in my case
MDAC 2.8 installs before the file transfer starts.
Is it related to that..
Can you please tell me what settings are u keeping in the MDAC 2.8 merge module, so that i can try it on my end..
Thanks again..

The behavior might be related to the point in the installation where the object is installing. However, I didn't change any settings or properties for the MDAC 2.8 object after adding it to the default feature in the project, so I'm not sure why this is different.
Does this behavior occur with any object you include?
