Here's a little more detail from the log. I XXX'd everything that was company specific. MSI (s) (2C:D0) [15:26:09:194]: Executing op: ProductRegister(UpgradeCodeXXX,VersionString=XXX,HelpLink=XXX,HelpTelephone=XXX,InstallLocation=XXX,InstallSource=XXX\Local\Downloaded Installations\XXX\,Publisher=XXX,URLInfoAbout=XXX,URLUpdateInfo=XXX,,NoModify=1,,,,,Readme=0,,,EstimatedSize=132325,,,,) MSI (s) (2C:D0) [15:26:09:215]: Note: 1: 1406 2: VersionMajor 3: Products\XXX\InstallProperties MSI (s) (2C:D0) [15:26:09:215]: Product: XXX-- Error 1406.Could not write value VersionMajor to key \Products\XXX\InstallProperties. System error . Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. both administrator and system have full control. this project requires administrator. I do not understand why I'm getting this all of a sudden. UAC on/off does not seem to play a role. I turned off virus scanner to test. please help!

New thing showed: could not write VersionMajor to key software\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\{guid} the guid is my product configuration and I'm an administrator. No idea why this is popping up no. GRR!

Our company believes that the certificate store is more secure and you can control the exportation of the credentials. You should really consider adding the feature instead of force installshield users to overwrite this exe. I think that'll make support issues more complicated when you send out an update.

is it possible to configure installshield to use the certificate store instead of the pfx file?

how do I use the same directory for the setup.ruls? so I have project a.ism, and a subdirectory "a" is created with "setup.rul" in it. If I copy that project to b.ism, I get a new directory with "setup.rul" in it. Problem is that I keep getting the same file in different directories, and now I have to edit all of them if I have a problem/defect/enhancement.

well, that is what I suspected. I guess I can resort to the following: - run the product configurations on different tfs build agents - run as different users, so that they use a different temp directory - set the temp directory prior to running each instance %temp%\config1, %temp%config2,.... thanks,

seems like every new component defaults to "shared". is there a setting that controls this?

I usually use iscmdbld.exe when generating releases. one execution for each product configuration defined in the releases. where I have 4 on some branches, each takes 10 min, so I'd like to execute them in parallel so that all 4 will be done in 10 minutes instead of the usual 40 minutes.

is it possible to build product configurations in parallel? I'd like to just hit the build button, but I do not want it to build each configuration in a single queue. devstdudio has the /m switch. I'd like to do the same for installshield projects

All x32 programs go into c:\program files (x86). Don't think you want to mix x32 in the x64 directory.

We determined that the compiler change from 2008 to 2010 caused the error to show up. There was no code change. So we reverted back to 2008, since that was the simplest solution. Still Installshield should be smart enough to know that if cannot get past "Try again the files that have failed." on the same file, there's no point to try it forever.

I stopped using reg files for that reason. I just add the registry entry in the component's registry and set things like InstallLocation=[INSTALLDIR]

All I did was convert the project from 2012 to 2013 and that was one of the differences.

well, 2013 takes less than 2 minutes and 2012 takes over an hour to complete. Good reason to switch.
