Re: Installing "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributables (x86)" on 64bit machines

InstallShield prerequisite framework is designed for this purpose. It checks the condition and attempts installation before if your main installation starts. As well skips the installation if the Redistributable is already present on the machine. You just need to add the prerequisite and edit conditions based on your requirement. Attempting it as part of custom action adds lot of extra work and may not work as expected as Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributables (x86) itself is msi installation and running multiple msi installations at the same time is not permitted (limitation from windows). ...

You can run it as InstallShield setup prerequisite. Make sure below conditions are set\modified as per your requirement. Default conditions are set based on Microsoft target system requirements mentioned on 2010 x86 download page. For example, if you would like to run this prerequisite on any Windows 10 (x86 and x64) machines then you need to add condition "Windows 10 (any)". ... View more

Move CtrlSetText  command after dialog gets initialized. while (!bDone) nControl = WaitOnDialog("FirstDialog"); switch (nControl) case DLG_INIT: hwndDlg = CmdGetHwndDlg("FirstDialog"); SdGeneralInit("FirstDialog", hwndDlg, 0, ""); CtrlSetText(szDialogName,UserNameText,"Hello"); CtrlSetText(szDialogName,InputTextBox,"World"); case BUTTON_BACK: // user clicked Back nReturn = BUTTON_BACK; bDone = TRUE; case BUTTON_NEXT: nReturn = BUTTON_NEXT; bDone = TRUE; default: if (SdIsStdButton(nControl) && SdDoStdButton(nControl)) then bDone = TRUE; endif; endswitch; endwhile;   For more information, please refer below link. https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/installshield25helplib/Subsystems/LangRef/helplibrary/LangrefCtrlSetText_example.htm ...

Re: Suite: How do I get the results of a FeatureSelectionTree

You cannot access FEATURE[feature-name].actionState from managed code and InstallScript actions as these are run by the engine instead of  InstallShield UI. You should be able to assess those strings as the property name in an ISuiteExtension::get_Property or ISuiteUIExtension::get_Property calls from a C++ suite extension DLL that makes use of the ISuiteUIExtension interface. You can refer below page and related links for more information https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/installshield25helplib/helplibrary/SteExtCondAuthor.htm#buildingconditionalstatements_855647854_1039129 ...

1. Set property to your edit box          property=MYTEXTBOX 2. Create InstallScript custom action (make sure MyFunction iss elected) and sequence it as desired 3. Use install script to read the property as below and use installscript registry methods to update the value in the registry. function MyFunction(hMSI) // To Do: Declare local variables. STRING textAreaValue; NUMBER textAreaValueBuffer; begin textAreaValueBuffer = MAX_PATH; if(MsiGetProperty(hMSI, "MYTEXTBOX", textAreaValue, textAreaValueBuffer) == ERROR_SUCCESS) then SprintfBox(INFORMATION,"The value of text area cntrol","The value of MYTEXTAREA is %s", textAreaValue); endif; // To Do: Write script that will be executed when MyFunction is called. end; ...

If you are using InstallShield version 2014 and newer, you can process your offline request using below URL (on any machine with internet): https://flexerasoftware.flexnetoperations.com/control/inst/offlineActivation For older versions (2013 and older), I think OActivations@flexerasoftware.com should work. You can also email to support@flexerasoftware.com or you can call the support number and will help you activate InstallShield, regardless of a maintenance plan or your use of an End of Life version of InstallShield. ...

As a work around you can change the patch msp file component to 64bit using orca or installshield and then try to install the patch it will update in 64 registry location. OR Try using minor upgrade via patch design.  ... View more
