Setup.exe not found.

[David_Bertrand]

I migrated recently from DevStudio9 to IS2008.

I discovered the following issue:
1 - Install software
2 - Keep you software opened (MyApp.exe)
3 - Launch uninstall. MyApp.exe is not cleaned (locked) : Restart required.
4 - Computer restarts
5 - Missing "Setup.exe" message appears.

Behavior is perfectly reproducible.

Any clue ?

I had similar issue with DevStudio9 at the time (ctor.dll missing). Workaround was to pump-up IS DLLs SharedCounts. I thought these bugs would have been fixed over the years 😞

Found the workarround.

Add the following to the Setup.rul script:

function OnEnd()
begin

//"Setup.exe not found" workarround
//InstallShield issue IOC-000063184
//-> Reboots computer on YES but does not run Setup.exe atferwards
//http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=174556&page=2

if ((REMOVEALLMODE != 0) && (BATCH_INSTALL)) then

BATCH_INSTALL = FALSE;

endif;

end;
