Problem compiling project with several DIM references
I created 4 DIMs and associated each of them with one feature in my ISM project. ISFeatureDIMs table in direct editor in my case looks like :
Feature – ISDIM
f1 – dim1
f2 – dim2
f3 – dim3
f4 – dim4
But in MSI (compiled from my project) FeatureComponents table looks not as expected:
Feature – Component
f1 – component_from_dim1
f1 – component_from_dim2
f2 – component_from_dim2
f1 – component_from_dim3
f2 – component_from_dim3
f3 – component_from_dim3
f1 – component_from_dim4
f2 – component_from_dim4
f3 – component_from_dim4
f4 – component_from_dim4
Why is it so? What do I do wrong? Or is it some bug in InstallShield compiler?
Has someone used several dims in one project? Can you give me some hints on how to do it correctly?
Regards,
Elena

We've recently published a hotfix for this problem. Can you see if this resolves the behavior you're reporting?

Hi Michael. Thank you for the reply.
I'd love to test the fix, but link to it in the HOTFIX article does not work

Sorry, it looks like the shorter link I tried to share broke the download link. I've updated the link above so it should work: http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=Q207411

Hi to everyone.
I'm using Install Shield Pro 2012, and I'm tryng to build a project with two features, each one with different files and different shortcuts. I'm building a basic MSI project.
The build was ok. When I Run the project i'm redirected to the right dialog to choose my feature, but choosing any of them has always the same result: all files and shortcuts are installed on my computer (Windows 7).
I have read hotfix Q207411 and have done what was suggested, but it was not effective. I have even tried to build an uncompressed project and have checked the MSI file with IS editor: the FeatureComponents table appears all ok, the right components with right feature, but when i run it, all files and shortcuts are installed.
What can I do?
Thanks to anyone who can help me.
Roberto
