Here is the difficulty. My client wants file based parameters even in case of double click launch of MSI package 😞 Is there a way out? I also tried using properties as well. Doesn't property values persist? I changed a property value on Install. But when I tried UnInstall, the modified property value was not persisted? If they don't persist even setting properties from command line wont work!

Thanks for reply. It generates log file when running from MSI is run from InstallShield IDE or through command prompt. It doesn't generate log file when run by double clicking the msi package? Any way, I can create log file for MSI execution by running it directly? Thanks

Thanks cbragg. You have provided valuable info. Public properties are the best solution if I want to invoke installer through command prompt/shell. What do you suggest for invoking the msi by double clicking it? How should I supply parameters if I am running the package directly by double-clicking it?

All the 10 properties be can be defaulted. But how will user update it then? If we want to run it in silent mode. So if we don't want any dialogs, only option is file.

Thanks cbragg for your reply. It solves the problem to some extent. Isn't it possible that we keep some of our stuff outside MSI package. e.g. When we install visual studio from MSI file, a lot of resource files are out the msi package in the folder where msi file is present. when msi runs, it reads/installs the files onto target. I was thinking of something like this. Folder where .msi Setup is present it contains few files, configuration, user changes the settings in file and then launches setup.

I want to create a log file for installation steps. I have some custom written scripts as well in VBS custom actions. I want to create a log file in temp directory that logs built in installshield steps as well my custom script steps in a file. I also want to show a link to this newly created log file at end of installer e.g. view log file. log file format: Step 1 completed successfully. Step 2 completed successfully. Please help how I can do it? I am using InstallShield 2010 Premier Edition. Thanks. Naveed

you are right. Public properties are an option. However, I want a configuration file because there are 10+ parameters required for installer. User can easily change/edit parameters in file.It will he harder to do from command line. Here is what I wanna do. I want to set the public properties from the values given in configuration file. Any idea how I can accomplish such solution? Thanks Naveed

I want a configuration file to control the installation behaviour like an answer file. e.g. Setup creates a domain account in vbs custom action as part of installer. I want to read the domain account name & password from configuration file.

Is there a way I can keep the certificates out of MSI package? When InstallShield creates an MSI package, it places the certificates in that release folder. When Installer is run, it picks up the certificates for current directory and installs them. How can I do this in InstallShield 2010? Thanks Naveed

I want to include a configuration file with InstallShield MSI installer. Custom actions in Basic MSI Setup will read configurations from that file. How can I include a file which is not embedded in MSI package; but is installed as a separate file in package. e.g. Release Folder contains both MSI Setup and a config file. User double clicks MSI package to run installer. installer then reads config information from the configuration file. How can I accomplish this using InstallShield 2010? Thanks in advance. Naveed
