Very Long Install

Hello NG

I have a new InstallShield project but when i install this setup, the setup will work very long.

I make a Logfile an i will see that they are many entry`s like this:

MSI (s) (E8!34) [12:06:47:525]: Creating MSIHANDLE (26033) of type 790531 for thread 3124

Do you get build errors? It seems that you are missing files that are referenced elsewhere in your installer.

Run the validation checks. I prefer to do this in Orca. I am guessing these should show you specifically which tables in the MSI are bad, and if it were me, I would just fix them one at a time.

Hint, you can rename, the .ism file to .msi to open it in Orca, fix the issues, then rename it back to .ism and build it in InstallShield.

MSI (s) (E8!34) [12:06:47:525]:


The last section of the beginning of each line, 12:06:47:525, is a timestamp in the form of hh:mm:ss:miliseconds. If you review the lines you posted, you'll note that the time elapsed is minimal.

I would suggest reviewing the log and looking for a set of timestamps where the amount of time you're expecting has elapsed between two log lines.

For example, the following two signatures for log lines might demonstrate this issue:

MSI (s) (E8!34) [12:06:47:525]:
MSI (s) (E8!34) [12:16:47:525]:

(Demonstrates a 10 minute elapse of time)

I'm getting these in the log when installing patch, what do these mean? And how do I fix it because I noticed that files are not updated during the patch installation. Any ideas? Thanks.

These log messages indicate that there are no delta patches available for the files listed. This is not an indication that the files will not be updated during a patch.

To determine why files are not being updated, check the feature and component states in the InstallValidate action and check for file replacement during the InstallFiles action.

Also note that, based on the file keys listed in the log output, it appears you are using some form of dynamic file links. When using dynamic file links, rules 1 and 3 of the following KB article need to be implemented for a patch to update files successfully:
