I have a suite project that as 3 32-bit Setup.exe packages and 1 64-bit Setup.exe package. I am building a 32-bit Release. All is working well except that I have PowerShellScripts to retrieve the uninstall strings from the registry. The PS scripts properly retrieve the uninstall strings for the 3 32-bit packages, but not for the 64-bit package.
The PS scripts are launched as Event Actions in the suite. I suspect that this is because IS is launching the 32 bit version of PS. How can I make this work?
FWIW... the PS script works if I launch it via 64-bit PS outside of InstallShield. Do I need to do that in an InstallScript CA?
You can try the installscript CA, however installscript will always run only in 32 bit,
You can write a installscript code to retrieve registry information from 64 bit path.
If you want to run 64 bit powershell script in suite, then you need to set the "64-bit Setup Launcher" to Yes under Release --> setup.exe and then try to build a installer and try again.
Yes. Separate PS Events. InstallShield does not provide an option to use 32/64 bit PS. I suspect it is always using 32 bit version, since the Suite is 32 bit. Thinking I may have to do the 64 bit CA with an InstallScript action where I could launch the 64 bit PS. Is that right?
