We recently upgraded our projects to .net 4.0 Since doing so, nothing is being installed to the GAC. I made sure that I am poiting to the correct .net framework in installshield options. Its poitintg to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 and the correct for 32 as well. I verfied that these install to the GAC using GACUTIL and all this worked before the upgrade to 4.0. Any ideas?

I have never known Robert to be wrong. I tried this and naturally it works perfectly.

The code you gave me will show my dialog before the Resuming the InstallShield Wizard. I don't think this is going to work. I need my dialog to show up after that and have the back button go back to that dialog. Showing that "Resuming the InstallShield Wizard" after my dialog doesn't really make sense and then you could never go back. Alternatively we could get rid of the "Resuming the InstallShield Wizard" and replace it with a welcome screen or something.

For years I have told people to use basic MSI or in some cases, Installscript and avoid InstallScriptMSI. Now I have to add a dialog in to one for someone. I created a custom dialog (Installscript), its working great when they first run the installer. The problem is I need to show the same dialog on Upgrades. When I run an upgrade in an InstallScript MSI, you get a message asking you if you want to upgrade and then a dialog entitled "Resuming the InstallShield Wizard", which is like a welcome screen only for upgrades in InstallScript MSI. I need to put my new dialog right after that one and the back button needs to go back to that. The problem is I can't find where that dialog comes from; it’s not in the script, even using the debugger. So the question is, how can I insert a dialog in to the upgrade sequence for an installscript MSI so it goes back to this “Resuming the InstallShield Wizard"?

I am trying to convince someone to convert from WIX to InstallShield. Any information anyone can provide is appreciated.

I just wonder if Flexera knows what they have done by doing this. I have been trying to get the InstallShield 2011 Standalone build for 2 weeks in my spare time. They made the licensing process so complicated and time consuming I am sure there are people that are giving up and just using WIX or some other tool.

One of the great things about installshield, was since version 6, upgrading has always been easy. The newest pain to be added needs to download a license file for InstallShield 2011 Standalone build. I upgraded one our many projects to InstallShield 2011. When I tried to upgrade the build machine, naturally I couldn't. Now each copy of the Standalone build needs its own license file which is a complete enigma to get. After several days of proving to support we bought the software by sending them back their own invoices we still haven’t been able to get the standalone build. I have since rolled back Install Shield to 2010. Perhaps this will be as far as anyone goes, no one will be able to upgrade ever again. When you install the Stand Alone build, it asks you for a license file, which it doesn’t tell you how to get. I found the web site in which you are suppose to get this , but naturally my log in only works to create support cases and you can’t get this license file. Has anyone done this successfully or is everyone just going to stay on InstallShield 2010?

I have a MSI which is being pushed out through a GPO. It should install as soon as the user logs in. All other MSI's will behave in this way. This one will not install until a reboot. Any idea what could be causing this?

by the way I figured this one out 🙂 🙂 🙂

What you will have to is place conditions on the approprate actions. For example RemoveExistingProducts is the action which removes old installs based on the upgrade critera you selected in upgrades ( upgrade code , version etc). Placing a condition on this action will make it fire or not fire.

Hi. I am using Installshield 2010. Check for updates is greyed out. agent.exe is running. I also have an evaluation version of InstallShield on the box, I think that what is messing it up. I did a repair on IS 2010, still same problem.

Thanks to your first post I came to the same conclusion that it must be an msi. It turns out to be an InstallScript MSI. I ran the install and extracted the msi from the temp folder, cracked it open and got the upgrade code. I was then able to add a major upgrade item. This deleted everything but the add/remove programs entry. I had to delete that manually. It even deleted the InstallShieldInformation stuff. Weird. Thanks for the hint, It helped me get this fixed. Sometimes you just need a different look at a problem.

I don't have the code for the old installer, but I think its just a straight forward installscript installer. I have thought of some things such as uninstalling it as a prerequiste, but they need just an MSI, no setup laucher. Any other ideas?
