error C8025: 'CoGetObject' : undefined identifier

[rupeshkumar_rj]

I have written the setup.rul file for an application using the InstallShield ver11 IDE and tested it, works fine.

When I build the same application on InstallShield ver 6.2 and InstallShield Script Compiler Version 6.21.100.1396, this is the error which I get --

error C8025: 'CoGetObject' : undefined identifier

Here is the code which I have written to fetch the path of IIS wwwroot using the CoGetObject function --

		set objVirPath = CoGetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root", "");	//Local Path value from the Metabase
		if(IsObject(objVirPath)) then
			svNumValue = objVirPath.Path;
			MessageBox(svNumValue , WARNING);
		endif;

This will fetch the wwwroot path from the IIS metabase.

Can someone please help me on this. I am stuck at this point from a week now & have tried searching all the resources on the internet.

Hello,

please use the actual version of IS 2011.

For older versions look at this:

GetObject from the following site.

Roman, Thanks for the reply!

The GetObject solution requires an additional DLL to be used. I am afraid that I cannot introduce an additional DLL into my project.

Is there any other function which can be used to read the IIS metabase.

Hi,

I do not know any other solution.
