Hi @armaganpekatik ,
I think you are trying to do minor-upgrade,since you want to upgrade from 6.6.0300->6.6.0304.
Did you create Minor-upgrade entry by Navigating to upgrades view->RC on Upgrade Windows Installer Setup->New minor upgrade item
In the Setup to upgrade field:You have to select 6.6.0300's MSI path on which you want to create upgrade for.
Now build and try,you might be asked upgrade message box based on type of project you are using.
In Major upgrade cases you have to create new product code as in the above reply.
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi @armaganpekatik ,
Since end-range might be unknown,why not with "Any Earlier Version" option?
I would suggest you to run with msi logging enabled via command-line Setup.exe /l*v "C:\Tmp\TmpLog.log".Log file can tell you more in detail,if possible attach here as well.
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi @Lmanthen ,
Installshield 2015 isn't compatible with Visual Studio 2017,VS2017 support starts from Installshield 2018.

Hi @dianalenart ,
The HostID that is been used for license generation would be System's Ethernet MAC address which is assumed to be static.When i say static,it is tied up with Ethernet configuration that stays with system hardware NIC(Network Interface Controller)
How can it be varying configuration,do you mean something like MAC address of virtual switch types?
Thanks,

Hi @chrispower42 ,
Just wondering " result of InstallShield checking for product version and guid in the registry. Is there any way to regain the original behavior?",what do these lines mean?
You had upgrades from which version of Installshield to IS2018 R2?i.e what is the working version?
Is your expectation something like user should be able to install same installer multiple times on machine?In this context next question would be what type of project is this ?(Basic MSI/Installscript ...)
In general if the setup is already installed,next time it will launch in maintenance mode where you can choose Modify/Repair/Remove depends on project type.
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi @gshivam ,
Hope you had selected required language via Release->Build->UI & Default languages properly.
What type project is this?What type of upgrade is this?Pass on upgrade MSI log if possible by specifying MSI Commandlines in Release->Setup.exe as /l*v "C:\tmp\Localization.log"
Thanks,

Hi @abl_nedgraphic ,
Few suggestions to get rid of object null exception:
Try to open Visual studio in Administrator mode
Make sure whether it is because of low disk space
Try to clear the cache on this client computer:
Close any open instances of Visual Studio.
Browse to the following folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\<TFS fOLDER>
Delete the contents of the Cache directory, including all subfolders.
Use the IP address of TFS instead of server name if you have used server name.
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi @mikomada ,
Few details if that could answer your questions:
Cloaking enabled .-Cloaking is a COM security capability that determines what identity the client projects toward the server during impersonation.During installation MSI engine enables this property for impersonation
Generating random cookie-not much information from MSI related documents
Hello, I'm your 32bit Impersonated custom action server.-
Windows installer starts additional instances of msiexec.exe to host custom actions that are either scripts or DLLs.
No custom actions are ever run under the msiexec.exe instance that presents the UI because that instance is exposed to the user and desktop environment.
Instead an additional msiexec.exe instance is started with the user's security token (essentially "logged in as the user") - this is done for custom actions that are not marked "system" context".
So it is basically a message that shows windows installer service's communication with server for Custom Action purposes
SECREPAIR-It is general message printed by MSI engine when trying to create HASH for the target file

Hi @nakibul ,
You can pick early events like OnFirstUIBefore which you would find by navigating to Installscript view->select Before Move Data from first combobox(Which you would see on top of installscript editor)
From second combobox, you can pick OnFirstUIBefore event.
There you can add function which can looks for registry existence to validate required software exists or not.Sample code would be:
function checkForSoftwareExistence( )
STRING svDisplayName;
NUMBER nvType, nvSize;
begin
RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE);
RegDBGetKeyValueEx(
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<GUID>",
"DisplayName",
nvType,
svDisplayName,
nvSize);
///If the value is found software exists else doesn't exist MessageBox("<Appropriate Msg>",MB_OK);
end;
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi @CadenceK ,
From your reply:
" To solve our problem could I call InstallUtil.exe directly using Installscript Custom Actions instead of the .NET Installer Class property?"-Can you explain what is your problem here?
InstallUtil might not understand assembly or executable file name from component key name.Parameter has to be file name.More details on:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/installutil-exe-installer-tool
Which ever you can do from installutil.exe,Installshield services view can help you with.
Thanks,
Jenifer

Hi @tbomgardner ,
In general AppSearch will fill the property if it could find the file from the entry of DrLocation else it would be undefined(Empty).You can add condition like:
REMOVE="ALL" AND LOCATION_OF_GWA <>""
Thanks,
Jenifer
