When I perform a minor upgrade (Project was created in Dev8, and upgraded to 12) on a target machine the files are being installed to the root of the 😧 every time. Any thoughts? This is a huge issue for me and I would appreciate any help!
Update: It now appears that all of our projects both new in IS2008 and those upgraded from Dev8 are not putting all of the files into the INSTALLDIR on a Minor Upgrade, but into the root of a drive on the system. I have a messagebox in my script that shows INSTALLDIR is correct in OnResumeUIBefore, but it is getting changed at some point. Any help woud be appreciated!!
I still don't know how to fix the issue I lited above, but I have atleast figured out a workaround for now. I would still really appreciate some comment on this though.
Most times that I have seen the root-of-the-drive become the destination in a minor upgrade, there has been at least one important problem uncovered by the upgrade validators. Have you run those and resolved all important errors?
Well, there go the easy things. Does a verbose log taken of the minor upgrade have any pointers to what's happening to the directory entries related to the files getting installed to the root of the drive? If you can't identify the cause, since the minor upgrade is being built with rather disparate major versions of InstallShield, can you consider performing a major upgrade instead? InstallScript MSI did undergo several important changes between 11.5 and 12, which will apply to this jump.
