I have 13 features on a Basic MSI project. I can't get the install levels to work so that I can prevent certain features, etc from installing. I've tried everything. Help states that there are a few properties that affect this I have verified that none of those are set (The override of Install levels). The INSTALLLEVEL is currently set for 100. The help guide says anything set with a number below that property will get installed. I set one feature as 101 and it STILL INSTALLS. I've tried many combinations. None of these are set (taken from help): The installation level specified by the INSTALLLEVEL property can be overridden by the following properties: ADDLOCAL ADDSOURCE ADDDEFAULT COMPADDLOCAL COMPADDSOURCE FILEADDLOCAL FILEADDSOURCE REMOVE REINSTALL ADVERTISE ...

I have a custom action that fires on the uninstallation, and of course fails since the file is removed. I don't want to address this via the custom action script (to check for the file first before changing it). I want my custom action script to run only on installation.

I've researched this and it appears many have asked, no answers to this question. I want to use a property that I set during the UI (via dialog) to name my DSN. How can I accomplish this? :confused: Thank you ... View more

I would think that this would be easy. I'm trying to create/name a folder dynamically via a dialog (public property). I've found postings discussing adding custom actions???? Is this the only way? I have also tried the custom action for rename directory, but I get an error that it can not find the network resource (which is only the name of the direcotry I was setting?)? I'm trying to use a property to set my folder name. My final installed structure is showing the property name?? [FOLDERNAME] = i.e. "C:\here\there\[FOLDERNAME]" ???? How can I set this based on a dialog I have where I set the property for [FOLDERNAME]??? I also have this same issue when I attempt to set the DSN name? resource = [DSNNAME] on dialog form. I get error that [DSNName] is incorrect when I run the install. Please note that my dialog where I set property's works in other areas of the installation, i.e. Website naming, registry settings, etc. Thank you ... View more

What is the easiest way to create on custom dialogs dropdowns (listbox or combobox) where the info is: info available from target during install: 1.) The accounts on the machine 2.) The websites on the machine 3.) the DSN names on that machine I'm using 2010 and it's a basic MSI project. Does it require Installscript project?
