So I may have missed this somewhere in the help file but in what order do the features get removed and unregistered? Because of some unknown artifacts left in the *.ism file when I updated the project from IS6 to IS2010, I have taken it upon myself to start from scratch and build a new installation project. The components are in a similar order as the original but I receive an error about "... did not self-register or unregister... Specific module cannot be found..." Now I've read (on other posts) that the features are supposed to be removed in the order they are installed and that the files that get unregistered are queued up until the end of the feature removal. Is this true? But I have watched the uninstall and have seen that the last major feature (there are sub features within that main feature) is removed first instead of being removed last. I then moved the feature throwing the error to the bottom of the feature list and still the same happens. Am I missing something? (I understand that some of this may have to do with the order but at this point I don't think it is...) ... View more

We added a new .Net dll. We already added interop assemblies from unmanaged code to managed code. This is the opposite, managed code to unmanaged code. This is an InstallScript project. Under options I've already set the RegAsm.exe path and set the default to Properties and Dependencies. The component's (to which it had it's own component) .NET Settings is set to "Local" and "Dependencies". The problem is that this new component installs CORRECTLY on everyone else's system except one (this one is used to write manuals and is a clean machine). We found out that the dll is not being registered (via RegAsm). We have a sneaking suspicion that their .NET installation is messed up. We tested this by using another person's version of RegAsm.exe (yes we are using v2....). The dll is not being registered. Are there any way to verify that this is being registered (meaning is there a way to find out if it is using the correct RegAsm and/or it's returning an error)? ... View more

This might be a dumb question: Can you use a constant string in the 'Single Exe File Name'? I added some strings to the string table (ex: PRODUCT_VERSION_DEMO, ..._FULL) with the intent to replace the hard coded values in Release's 'Single Exe File Name'. From: "SomeProductFullv2.0.exe" to "##PRODUCT_VERSION_DEMO##.exe" Mainly I wanted to be able to change the version number in one place NOT four times in four different places. When I did this (see shot below) it literally created ##PRODUCT_VERSION##.exe. I used "##" because I had to use those to use the new string in the Here's a quick shot of what I want to do: ...

I am trying to uninstall the HASP Run-Time Environment. Just to give some background here: we use the cmdline executable (haspdinst.exe). During removal/uninstallation we use to run haspdinst with the remove flag ("-r"). [For some reason] This did not fully remove the environment. After a support call we were given an executable that would fully remove HASP from a user's system (aksinstdel_windows.exe). So when you run this either by cmdline (like we have been doing) or by double-clicking a HUGE dos window appears and asks the user (this would be the second time, since I've already implemented a Yes/No dialog to do just this) to press 'Y' to remove HASP. I cannot find a flag that will allow this to run silently but I would like it to more or less run in the background w/o user interference. My question is thus: is there a way to emulate/fake a keypress of 'Y' when I execute this? I tried to research custom actions but 2010 does not have that option for this project. This project was updated from 11 to 2010 so I do not know if I missed something during it's conversion and I'm at a loss. I do not believe my users want to be asked twice to uninstall an unimportant component (Even though they are removing my product... *grumble*... maybe they are upgrading... or maybe they are giving their older machine to charity... something like that right?). I'm new to this so forgive me if this is a dumb question. Any and all help will be GREATLY appreciated. ... View more
