The problem was within the .Net dll - problem solved! 🙂

I added some exception handling to the function that uses the DotNetCoCreateObject. The error I get when trying to create the DotNet 3.5 dll is: Unexpected Exception Description: No such host is known Source: System Help File: Help Context: 0 Any ideas what might trigger a "No such host is known" exception? Thank you.

I have in InstallScript 2009 project. It installs the .NetFramework object 3.5 if necessary. I call DotNetCoCreateObject on a dll created with the .Net Framework 3.5. The call has worked for several weeks. I made some changes to the installscript and now my installer will only work on my machine. On 3 other machines the following message is displayed: "An error occured creating object to install database(s). The .NET Framework 3.5 is probably missing. Please check with your system administrator" The system administrator on each machine was running the install and .Net Framework 3.5 IS installed on all. any ideas why it would all of a sudden not work on 3 machines but works on my machine? My machine and 2 of the others are running WindowsXP, the 3rd machine is running Windows server 2003 (and the install has worked on it previously). Thank you, Sel :rolleyes:

Yes, I am attaching a picture with screen shots of a standard dialog and my custom dialog. Hopefully you can see the difference in them. Thank you.

I have created a custom dialog, all is fine except the top of the dialog is gray where the standard InstallShield dialogs are white. I would like all my dialogs to look the same. I tried adding a text box at the top but even setting sunken to FALSE you can tell there is a box there and it doesn't look like the standard dialogs. I am using InstallShield 2009 Profession and my project is an InstallScript project. Can anyone tell me how to make my custom dialog have the same white top (panel?) as the standard dialogs? Thank you.

I searched the Knowledge Base and found an article that stated I needed to add a path to my library file. It would have been helpful if this information had been in the Help under the SdLogoUserInformation topic. :rolleyes: It is working fine now. 🙂

selwynreynolds · ‎Jan 07, 2009

I modifed the InstallShield dialog SdLogonUserInformation then called SdLogonUserInformation in setup.rul but when I compile I get the following error: 'SdLogonUserInformation' : no definition found for function Is there a library or something else I need to include? :confused:

Got it! Thanks! Not sure how I missed the location before. 🙂

Hi Debbie, thanks for your reply. I am running InstallShield2009 with SP2 but under the redistributables view of my Basic MSI project the location column of "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express SP2" object says "needs to be downloaded". This is what I need. I went to the KB article and downloaded the update but when I tried to run it on my machine I got the error message "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer Service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program...". Any other thoughts on where I can get the files for the redistributable view? I have the SQLServer express.exe file - can I copy it to a particular directory? But, this won't help me if I need some of the other redistributables that also say "needs to be downloaded". Thanks, Sel

where can I download (the link) the Microsoft SQL Server Express prerequisite for a computer that is not connected to the internet? I am using InstallShield 2009 on a computer that is not connected to the internet. 😮

Hi implemented CheckObjectStatus and got the following info attempting to install .NETFramework 3.5 on Windows Server 2003 (SP1) OS: nNumber: -2147220735 Description: Incorrect target operating system Script Error: -1 Why can't I install .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows Server 2003? :confused: Update: I installed the .NET Framework 3.5 on the Windows Server 2003 machine from the MSDN disk and it work. I need it to be installed from my installer instead of having the user install it first. Any ideas?

I have an InstallScript project that needs to install .NETFramework 3.5.I've included the Object but it is not getting installed. I've looked at the posts referencing .NET Framework 3.5 and haven't found a solution. I'm trying to install it on a Windows Server 2003 SP 1 machine. It will successfully install .NETFramework 2.0 but I have upgraded my install to JUST install 3.5 and it does not work. I'm going to try the sample code for CheckObjectStatus to see if I can get an error message but wonder if anyone knows why I can't install .NET 3.5?? i saw a post that said an InstallScript Project could not install SP 1 for .NETFramework 3.5. I'm not ready for SP1 but will be soon. :confused: NOTE: I just tried this install on a Windows XP machine and it worked just fine - installed .NET Framework 3.5 as expected. Any ideas why it's not working on Windows Server 2003 SP1? The notes on the object list windows Server 2003 SP1 as a supported platform.

I moved the functions that utilize the .NET 3.5 Framework to OnFirstUIAfter. The installer installed .NET Framework 2.0 (I need both) but did NOT install the 3.5 Framework. Before it did not install either one. Any idea why it would install 2.0 but not 3.5? :confused:

selwynreynolds · ‎Nov 10, 2008

I call some functions in OnFirstUIBefore that utilize .NET 3.5 assemblies. That is why I need it before OnFirstUIBefore. I'd rather call those functions before installing all the files so they won't be installed (and thus have to be uninstalled) if the assemblies fail. But, I can certainly change the order of my setup if that is the best way to make sure .NET 3.5 is installed before calling the assemblies. Does that make sense? :confused: Thanks!:)

Thanks for your reply Christopher.... but, my project is an InstallScript project. I haven't seen the capability of using Prerequisites for InstallScript projects. Can I do it with an InstallScript project or am I going to have to change my project to an InstallScript/MSI project? THANK YOU! 🙂
