uuuuuuuuhhh you might see places where I was trying to correctly add "/*" (and other things), But I don't know the np++ format for settings all those. I tried looking at the c++ one but that was months ago and haven't had the time (or enough asprin handy) to figure it out. The page I was reading about adding a custom was not well formatted but it was the most comprehensive/easiest to read that I could find at the time. ... View more

Yeah I haven't gotten that to work either. I don't really use those in my code so it's not been a huge problem. But when I initially tried the only way the comment would change color was if it was all one unbroken line. If the comment was multi-lined then the first line would be colored but the rest wouldn't. Not sure if bug or I was not entering the comment characters correctly. If you find a work around of the correct setting please let me know. There's tons of keywords I never added beucase I never used them or are unaware of them so if you update the keyword, or method lists please post it. Thanks! ... View more

Your link to 'google that for me' is actually quite patronising. I have indeed googled to see if anyone else has any information about this, but they do not. My apologies if you felt I was being rude in any fashion. I was not. I linked to "Let me Google That For You" because I didn't know of any other service similiar. I used it to just to show you what string(s) I used to achieve those search results in case it was helpful at all. I also used LMGTFY because of what you wrote in your original post: What does "Application SID does not match Conductor SID" mean? Can't find any information on this anywhere! ... and I'm pretty sure that there was a post or two from those who have/had the same or at least similar issue as you. I myself have had that once before and all I did was remove every piece of my application off the system and restart and everything was fine. Many posts go answered and unsolved so if my help was not helpful then just say so. Chances are if I misunderstood your thread then maybe others have too. From what I know, Splashwow64 is apart of the Print Manager. Have you tried to stop the Print Manager > perform your work > restart Print Manager? When installer one of our drivers when need to stop the PM then restart after a certain point otherwise there are issues. This error could be similar to things like Tortise SVN that requires a restart but you only need to restart explorer.exe and not a machine restart or there's an issue with your application and the PM. I use InstallScript so obviously there are differences but in IS I have to actually querry (in order to ask the user) whether or not a restart is required. Maybe it's similar in MSI? Also Microsoft just released a hotfix for Splashwow64.exe just recently but I don't know if this will help you nor does that particular link really explain what and why. ... View more

😄 Your welcome! Yeah in the past 15 minutes I've changed the color scheme to closer resemble a VS/InstallShield enviroment and added at least 30 more InstallScript/Shield methods. Please feel free to add any function prototypes, keywords, etc to this thread. I want to compile a large list and submit it to the Notepad++ team But I'll submit my last version here for everyone's approval. ... View more

Bump because I found one! It's an initial draft (and not mine) but if we add to it (either in this thread or elsewhere) I think we can get it added to Notepad++'s User Defined Language Files page Language page here: https://github.com/bdimych/npp-InstallScript-language ... View more

😕 sorry I couldn't help... I knew their are big differences between the installer types but I know of assumed that certain things remained the same. The only other thing is open the *.ism in notepad (or some such text editor) and see if there is an icon entry somewhere in there (since the entire thing is one giant *.xml file). Good luck! ...

No I'm using the full InstallShield 2010 Professional. I'm also using a InstallScript project so I'm not sure if it differs completely from your screen... Under the Installation Designer tab (at the top near the "Start Page" and "Project Assistant" tabs) and in the left section with all the difference sections (like "Installation Information", "Organization", "Application Data", etc) at the very bottom you should see "Additional Tools" with "Dependency Scanners and "Direct Editor" underneath it. Click on the "Direct Editor" and all the tables should appear top to the right of it. Unfortunately I can't screenshot it for you right now... ... View more

ok... weird but try this... Under Additional Tools look for the ISReleasePro table. Then find the SingleExeIconName and enter the path to your icon. I was wrong I am using the an *.exe's icon so mine looks like: MyApp.exe,0 There should be an entry for each release so I have multiple entries and it seems that a bunch of tables are suffixed with "Pro". ...

Are you using InstallShield that comes packaged with VS? Because under the Setup.exe the "Single Exe Icon File" option is present and editable and I have local copies of my icons for IS's personal use. I link the shortcuts (under the Shortcuts section in the System Configuration tab) to my actual applications which use a copy of the *.exe's icon. So I have 1 installer icon (which technically I can have 1 for each of my release types) and multiple application/*.exe icons that are set using VS. Like this except using an actual icon versus the *.exe's icon. Is this what you are talking about or did I missed your question entirely? ... View more

Try this or this but no snark is intended... This thread seems to suggest that the installer is in a place that shouldn't be executed from (if I read it right tho I'm not too sure). But other threads of people having similar issues have gone through a Clean Boot to help determine the issue. At least that's what most of the thread replies say (non-MS and MS threads). Another suggests doing a complete uninstall of the application, restarting and doing a "clean install" to see if that clears it up (I mean not restarting after uninstallation or not allowing it to restart for you, clearing any left over files and then restarting, installing and uninstalling). 😕 I hope any of this helps... ...

This may sound dumb but it's happened to me... Have you checked that the copy of the installer used is 100%? I've had a corrupt version of my installer that caused me problems for hours until I just recopied the original source. It seems that from the log that it's crashing as it is writing the next log (hence the cut off at the time stamp) which as I've seen on the dev side and the release that there is a memory issue which could stem from a corrupt application or a remote termination coming from the OS... Well that's my 2 cents and I hope it helps 🙂 ... View more

Wow totally forgot about this post... I have to manually add them because we use certain files (that we paid for) because of the rights and if a user has a newer version it may not be compatible with the print engine(s) we use. Which is what happened in my case here. The font being used was being basically rejected outright by the print engine (of the printer not the Windows rendering/print drivers). So my fonts were/are being installed correctly using the code I posted before. Since it uses the registry to install the fonts not letting the MSI engine do this. Again I can't use some (or most) of the advanced features of InstallShield. So try doing it manually (using my posted code) and see if that works out better. In the Feature/Component destination I just did what you did with looking for the font folder under windows. There is a register setting in the components/features area for fonts if I remember correctly. I believe the Or try this from someone else's similar post: InstallShield Help Library topic Creating Installations > Organizing Files for Your Installation > Using Components > Installing Fonts. (I've just re-confirmed on a 64bit machine that this posted works at installing fonts.) ... View more

Are you sure that the InstallShield makes that distinction when you change the version number? I'm pretty sure that that is mostly window dressing used to determine if between the versions being installed. In InstallScript you can determine if the version you are installing is new, older or the same by checking against the version number of the installed application and the application being installed. Does the *.msi projects have some function the dynamically determines is the version you are creating is a patch rather than a full install? ... View more
