placement of DLLs

[rgs424]

I created an install program for a Windows MFC program using VS2010 Windows Installer and VS2010 Installshield LE. The Win Installer program recognized that wsock32.dll was a dependency and installed that file in the same directory as the .exe on the target machine. On the other hand, it appears that InstallShieldLE placed the wsock32.dll in the \system32 directory during the install.

Is there a reason for this difference?

Hello,

Could you kindly provide us the log files, one that was created by Win installer during installation and the other that was created by InstallShield Limited Edition during installation?

Thanks,

Hello,

I see where InstallShield creates the log file for a build, but what log file are you referring to that Visual Studio Installer creates?

Hello rgs424,

The log which you are referring to is build log. Could you kindly provide us Verbose Installation Logs (log created by Win Installer and other that was created by InstallShield Limited Edition’s setup during installation) which would provide us more information on this?

Also could you kindly refer the below article which explains about “Verbose Logging an MSI Installations”
