Hi John, The below lines from InstallShield 2018 Lite's marketplace link: " InstallShield 2018 Lite is provided without support, updates, or upgrades from Flexera." So i guess you may not get updates on this pack. Answering to your second question: It is upgraded version of InstallShield Limited Edition which used to come with Microsoft Visual Studio versions(till VS2015).Only difference is, IS-2018 Lite is integrated only with Microsoft Visual Studio-2017. Thanks, Jenifer ... View more

Hi John, A InstallShield 2018 Lite Perpetual License is a type of software license that authorizes an individual to use a program indefinitely. Generally, outside of termination, a perpetual software license allows the holder to use a specific version of a given software program continually with payment of a single fee. Thanks, Jenifer ...

Hi amlederer, I don't think you can embed/stream exe into msi package.By design Microsoft doesn't support that,you can go for suite package type for this requirement.Where you can embed exe\msi\appx\installscript package into single suite package,silent commandlines are there for suite packages. You can silently make suite to execute exe embedded inside by mentioning package level command-line.It won't leave any trace other than few caching stuff. Thanks, Jenifer ... View more

Hi loanb22, Answering to your queries: - How to revert on my machine from 2018 SP! to 2018? - How to get a ISSAB 2018 SP1 for build server Hence SAB builds don't have software update support,your build server won't get updates.You can go with later one i.e make build server known to InstallShield SAB 2018 SP1.You can download InstallShield SAB SP1 build from your PLC account.

Hi SignCAD, For InstallShield MSI based projects I have found the following to work: setup.exe /s /x /b"C:\FolderInWhichMSIWillBeExtracted" /v"/qn" This command will lead to an extracted MSI in a directory you can freely specify and a silently failed uninstall of the product. The command line basically tells the setup.exe to attempt to uninstall the product (/x) and do so silently (/s). While doing that it should extract the MSI to a specific location (/b). The /v command passes arguments to Windows Installer, in this case the /qn argument. The /qn argument disables any GUI output of the installer. Hope it helps, Jenifer ... View more

Hi SignCAD, It could be because of some COM file component's registration issue.Can you uninstall/try it on clean machine? Thanks, Jenifer ... View more

Hi SignCAD, "If I use Basic MSI project, can I excute andother program or register COM object?" Yes it is possible to execute other program via installscript custom action.Following links can walk you through on this matter: -http://helpnet.installshield.com/installshield19helplib/helplibrary/IHelpIScriptOverview.htm -http://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/installshield23helplib/helplibrary/Arch-BasicMSICASched.htm Thanks, Jenifer ...

Hi SignCAD, In Installscript project,you can't get msi alone since files have to be streamed to setup.exe,even in installscript msi you can't get compressed MSI(You can get uncompressed msi) The main cause for this design would be supporting files(dll,inx,hdr) need to be streamed into setup.exe. If you have installscript as script/custom action alone,you can achieve it via basic msi project( installscript view) Hope it helps, Thanks, Jenifer ... View more

Hi bogusman, You can make InstallShield's pre-requisite editor detect existence of .Net 4.7.1 by adding registry-key-value condition as attached in snapshot. As per Microsoft's deployment guide:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/deployment/deployment-guide-for-developers , "You can test whether the .NET Framework 4.5 or later is installed by checking the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full folder in the registry for a DWORD value named Release".Based on your windows 10 build,you can select release value as, .NET Framework 4.7.1 installed on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 461308 .NET Framework 4.7.1 installed on all OS versions other than Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 461310 Hi PMFWedel, If you have InstallShield 2018 installed,you would be able to see update message saying "New pre-requisites available which includes .Net 4.7.1 prq too".Try downloading it ,you'll get that. Hope it helps Thanks, Jenifer ... View more

Hi agshah, Setup icon behavior will vary a bit between Basic MSI & InstallScript(Installscript MSI) projects.In basic MSI project,setup.exe will invoke msi file hence you could see msi icon after few seconds of launch. But in installscript & installscript MSI projects,setup.exe's icon file will change as per Releases->Setup.exe->Setup.exe icon file setting.If it isn't working as expected you can contact Installshield support. I think caching couldn't be the cause. Thanks, Jenifer ... View more

Hi agshah, By default windows installer/msi's uninstall behavior would be : Asking for a confirmation about uninstallation Then it proceeds with removal of components It won't bring you up wizard with finish button If you want to accomplish that Installscript/Installscript MSI will be the option for you. Hope that helps, Thanks, Jenifer ... View more
