I'm working with .NET 4.0, not 2.0. Regardless, I ended up deleting the existing extensions and creating the 2 for .NET 4.0 and added my own with the right settings and everything was fine. ... View more

Here's something that should get you started. First, add a reference to the Msi.dll which can found in your Windows\System32 folder. After adding it, you should see WindowsInstaller under References of your project (assumming this is a Windows Forms project). Then, use the following code: Dim oMSI As WindowsInstaller.Installer Dim oDB As WindowsInstaller.Database Dim oView As WindowsInstaller.View Dim oType As Type Try oType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WindowsInstaller.Installer") oMSI = CType(Activator.CreateInstance(oType), WindowsInstaller.Installer) oDB = oMSI.OpenDatabase("C:\InstallShield Projects\Our_Package.ism", OpenMode.Output) oView = oDB.OpenView("Select InstallText From ISSQLScriptFile") Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.Message) End Try Let me know how that works. Of course, you'll have to use your own query but this should get you started. Thanks, Greg ... View more

I would try looking at something like this instead of CreateObject: Dim oMSI As Object = Activator.CreateInstance("WindowsInstaller.Installer") How many SQL Scripts do you have and why are you numbering them? Just trying to figure out why you have an external tool to do this. ... View more

We went through and thought we had all the web.config file Read Only attribute turned off but we ended up missing one. When we turned it off, the install worked fine. So, my question is why do the web.config files need to have Read Only turned off? What does the install modify in these files during the install? Is it something that IS engine is doing or one of our scripts? I didn't see anything in our scripts that are modifying the web.config so I'm curious. Thanks, Greg ... View more

Please see attched log. On this install, I removed the IISPREFERLEGACYOBJECTS property and had the application pool and all applications set for the 4.0 Framework and the ASP.NET platform to 32 bit. ... View more

I tried recreating all of the objects in the IIS IDE of InstallShield - the 1 application pool and the 3 applications in my converted project. I set the application pool to use .NET 4.0 and the Enable 32 bit flag to Yes. On the Applications, I set them all to use ASP.NET version 4.0.30919 (I think that is the version) and set the ASP.NET Platform to 32 Bit. Now, here is the odd thing. My converted project fails when I have all of these set but it doesn't in the test project I created that just has these elements defined. If I remove the .NET 4.0 version from the application pool and the versions from the applications, the install from my converted project works but then the application pool is set to No Managed Code and not .NET 4.0. So, I don't know what is causing the problem. I have my own log file and the process stops immediately after the OnMoving() event and never gets to the OnMoved() event. What does InstallShield do between these 2 events because that is when it is causing the IISRT error. I don't have the error number with me but I can remember it is a -214xxxxxx number. I have even tried creating the IISPREFERLEGACYOBJECTS property with a value of 1 to see if that would work and it would not. Would setting it to 0 do anything? I really don't want to recreate the project because this is a very complicated project. Any thoughts? ... View more

I created a blank MSI project and just created the application pool and set it to .NET 4.0 and it worked fine so it must be project related. Anyonw have any ideas on what might be happening? I'm getting the error with IISRT when I set it. ... View more
