plz help me in using a vb script in basic msi project
hi all
very new to installsheild 5 days since i've been using the demo version installshield pro 2009
can any one help me with the following queries i created a basic msi project and here now i want to call a vbscript which is installed as a part of the project
this vb script echoes "key found " if a specified key is present in registry and "key not found" if it doesn't exists. this script works fine when executed independently.
in installshield i selected custom action option for calling this vb script and selected the following return processing : synchronous (Ignores exit code) in script execution : deferred execution install ui sequence : absent install exec sequence : after insall files
the project executed with no errors no msg box pops up indicatin wheter key is found or not..
is this a silent install wat has happend...if yes...how to get these msg boxes goin...
can anyone plz help me in using a vb script in basic msi project...thanks a ton in advance
I'm not sure I understand your question. If it is how to get a message box to display in silent mode then the answer is, you can't. Silent mode is just that, silent. You will either need to use the Session.Message method or check the UILevel before displaying the message.
I personally prefer the session.message method, becuase it will not only display a message during a full user interface installation, but it will also write out to the log file if the user chose to turn on logging. Below is some sample code for displaying your message using this method:
Set hMsgRecord = Installer.CreateRecord(0) hMsgRecord.StringData(0) = "Insert message here" Session.Message &H03000000, hMsgRecord Set hMsgRecord = nothing
