how to create single setup.exe in InstallSheild 2011
Hi Folks, I have msi file which is not created in installshield. I have created mst file and did some changes in that. I can run msi adn mst file using batch file command "msiexec /i .msi TRANSFORMS=.mst" Now i wish to create single setup.exe which includes both msi and mst file. When user clicks on setup.exe, this exe will extract the file into temp folder and start installation for msi using mst file. I have read somewhere on internet that, we can do this using installshield wrapper project and includes both msi and mst file and using custom action we can run this msi and mst file. I tried to implement this but i face below issues. 1. I can not run both installation in parallel as windows limitation (one for wrapper project and other for my msi and mst file) 2. Add remove program entry is coming for wrapper project.
Please suggest me how we can do using installshield.
Hey Prashant, Wrapper is an implementation of InstallScript project so you can run your msi and mst within it.... no limitation on this as per your point 1).
Windows limitation being you can't have two msi's in execute sequence together
and ARP entry from the wrapper can be hidden from the InstallScript project... General Information >> Add/Remove settings...
Hi, I apologies to bother you... I tried with Installed script project. but i fail to run msiexec /i mst command in custom action exe. It will be very much helpful if you send me step by step guidelines....
