problem silent installing program
Hi
I'm having a strange problem.
I've created an .iss file for my installation... and all seems well..
but the installation doesn't seem to finish.
In taskmanager 2 files keep hangning on..
_isdel.exe
&
_ins5576._mp
Now this seems to be stopping the installer from completing.
I can shut down the processes but that doesn't really do me any good..
I am still left with a non-functional programme.. 😞
Any ideas ... could it be something in the ISS? or the ini?
Or a 3rd option?

Have you tried logging the installation process and seeing if there's any clues in there? Or checking the Event Log on the system to see if there are any clues?
I can't give you a direct answer to your question. In some of my past (mistakes) installers, I've run into problems with some DLLs I was trying to replace being held open by some other processes that I wasn't expecting. Java was bad, in my case.

I've got a batch file called testinstaller.bat that looks like this:
[PHP]rem Set name
set SETUPFILE=C:\Temp\%1
@echo Installing software (this may take a few minutes)...
pushd C:\temp
start /wait %SETUPFILE% /debuglog"c:\temp\install_%1.log" /w /v"/L*v c:\temp\upgrade_%1.log"
popd[/PHP]
Have to put the file in C:\Temp in my case, and I force all my log files there. Hopefully that gives you some idea. There are two separate logs because one is that InstallShield internal logic, and the other is the record of what my authored install does.
Hope that helps.
