You can setup it up in the registry. I've attached some screen shots from an IS12 project but there's no difference in IS2008. I'd suggest configuring the DSN on a machine then look at the registry settings indicated in the screen shots to get the actual values to setup in your project. If you're not using SQL Server in the DSN then you can use Process Monitor or RegMon to see what registry entries get created/modified when the DSN is setup.

I'm just starting some Vista testing. I'll let you know if I have the same issue.

Try launching cmd.exe instead of the batch file. e.g. cmd.exe /c MyBatch.bat. If you support Win9x then cmd.exe won't be present and you'll have to use command.com instead. I think the COMSPEC environment variable will contain the correct command processor - cmd.exe on WinNT or command.com on Win9x.

It's best to use a custom action if you need to optimize the search. If you're only searching for one file in a fixed location (x3) then I'd think that would be pretty fast anyway.

I'd leave the "password" check in - like you said it's safeguard and I can't see any negative effects. So do you think it's safe to use that version of the DLL in production installs?

David, In my test project I created two properties SecurePassword and NonSecurePassword and set MsiHiddenProperties to SecurePassword. I used each of the properties in the password setting for an app pool then installed and reviewed the log. The SecurePassword was masked as expected but the NonSecurePassword was masked as well. I don't see how this would be a problem but thought you should know about it. The other issue I reported with the error creating the application pools was also resolved with the updated dll. Do you know when an official version would be available?

Thanks David. I'll give it a try and post back in a couple of hours.

Can your application do this instead of the install? It seems like the application could check either when it first starts or when the user clicks one of the six menu items whether this is the first time. If "yes" then create the registry keys.

I'm guessing there isn't a workaround for this. I'm reverting back to IS12 until this gets addressed. I'll submit an official bug request and hope this gets fixed in SP1.

You can load a dll from any location as long as you specify the full path to the dll. Following this link for more info LoadLibrary Function. Copying the dll to the System32 directory works because that is in the dll search path but I would not recommend it. See this link for dll search order Dynamic-Link Library Search Order. If your dll loads other dll's from that same directory then you'll need to call SetDllDirectory on XP SP1 or higher or SetCurrentDirectory on any other OS.

I didn't look at the code sample but I can give you some options. One way is to send a WM_CLOSE message to the applications main window. This will require you to find the window handle but FindWindow in the Windows API should work well. Another way is to call TerminateProcess. This requires the process handle so you'll need to use EnumProcesses to find the application.

Nicholasb, if you're using a Windows Installer based project you can just put the DLL in the Binary table then the Windows Installer will handle the extract & loading of your DLL.

I'm not sure if you saw this thread Bug in caCreateVRoots - Creating app pools. This is the problem I was referring to that would make me go back to IS12.

Thanks for the response David. We sometimes get log files from customers but I can have them remove the passwords before sending them. I may be reverting to IS12 anyway for the app pool problem.
