Hi Clark, I'm trying to accomplish the same thing with regard to setting INSTALLDIR to ProgramFiles64Folder for the 64-bit package such that when running the 32-bit package on a 64-bit machine, the default is still Program Files (x86). I thought of using the Release Flag also, but that doesn't seem to be possible. Can you please tell me how you resolved this issue? Thanks, Lora

I already know what to put for the processor. My question is about the language.

Right, I leave the Template Summary blank under Releases. I'm talking about the Template Summary property under General Settings -> Summary Information Stream.

I've read different things about what to put for the language portion of the Template Summary property. According to Microsoft, "the Template Summary property indicates the platform and language versions that are compatible with this installation database" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372070%28VS.85%29.aspx.) According to InstallShield documentation, the installation's default language is supposed to be listed. However, it also says "if your installation supports multiple products and you want to have multiple entries in the language category—for example, 1033 for English and 1031 for German—separate them with a comma." I have a basic MSI with six different languages (English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Swedish) for the Setup Languages property. For my release, I have the following settings: Data Languages: Language Independent UI Languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Swedish Default Language: English Although I specify only these six languages for the setup/UI, I want the user to still be able to install on, say, a Spanish machine. Can someone tell me what is the correct way to fill out the Template Summary property? Thanks, Lora

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try that out.

Hi HookEm, Using a VBscript custom action works, but I'll need to use a dll since I need to support double-byte as well as single-byte languages. One thing though is that since a return code has be returned from the custom action to Windows installer, the "Setup Interrupted" dialog (I'm using the ERROR_INSTALL_USEREXIT return code) gets displayed, and it gets displayed in the installer's default language which I have set to English. Now, is there a way to avoid displaying THIS dialog? Thanks again for your help. Lora

Thanks, HookEm! I'll give that a try.

Thanks, HookEm. So, you don't see any workaround for this?

I'm resurrecting this thread for localization reasons. The default language in my ism file is English. When I launch my msi on a non-English machine, the "setup.exe must be launched" alert is still displayed in English even though the string is localized in my ism for each language my installer supports. How do I get the correct language displayed in the alert? I need to resolve this ASAP. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lora

Thanks for your input DLee65. I actually tried adding the certificate to the MsiDigitalCertificate and MsiPatchCertificate tables, but that didn't seem to work for me. I ended up reporting an incident to InstallShield, and they suggested creating a transform. So I'm going to try that. Thanks, Lora

I'm having the same problem. In our product, say version 1.0.1, that has been released, the installer was signed (including a timestamp) with a certificate that is now expired. I'm now working on version 1.0.2 which is being signed with a different certificate. I created a patch, but I'm also getting error 1330 when I run the patch. Did this problem ever get resolved? Thanks, Lora

Here's another post by Aaron Stebner that discusses the exact same problem I'm having: http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/01/09/problems-with-custom-actions-that-depend-on-the-visual-c-8-0-runtime-files-on-windows-vista.aspx

Thanks for your help, Michael. I'll do that.

Yes, I would much rather use COM extraction over regsvr32. It's been over a year since I last tried using COM extraction (again), but the error wasn't during the extraction which worked fine, rather during installation and/or installation of the product. I was looking through my version control logs, and the two times that I switched to using COM extraction resulted in problems using our product (during our development cycle), so I reverted back to using regsvr32 both times. I'll have to take a more in-depth look at it at some point. Thanks again, Robert.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Are you saying that I should include vcredist as a setup prerequisite instead of including the merge modules? I read here http://blogs.msdn.com/dsvc/archive/2008/08/07/part-1-troubleshooting-vc-side-by-side-problems.aspx that merge modules are recommended over redistributable packages. (Btw, my installer used to install a service that required th VC++ 8 libraries, and using the merge modules worked fine.)
