It gets scheduled very early in the UI and Execute sequences. If you don't need to use support files in your installation, you could simply schedule the CheckIfPatchInstalled described in that thread very early in both sequences. Thank you very much, I'll give that a try.

I'm adding custom actions to prevent patching a product that has already been patched as stated in the following post, however in InstallShield 2011 I'm not seeing the ISSetupFilesExtract CA mentioned in this post. How do I get access to it? http://community.flexerasoftware.com/showthread.php?201711-How-to-prevent-a-re-installation-of-a-patch Thank you, Jim

If it's a setup.exe try the /debuglog switch on the command line. ex. setup.exe /debuglog This will create the log in the same folder as the installer. Otherwise you will need to specify the path to a writable folder: ex:Setup.exe /debuglog"C:\temp\package.log"

Debbie, Thank you very much for the suggestions. I tried both... added the debugpath to the registry as described. After reading the steps pointed to by the link you send, I did notice I was missing the SCiLexxer.dll file. I added that to my debug machine. Still nothing happened. The install ran through as normal. Jim

You don't really have to use events. You can show the status window with something like this: Enable(STATUS); StatusUpdate (ON, 10); SetStatusWindow (10, "We're doing useful things..."); // Do something useful... SetStatusWindow (20, "..."); Disable(STATUS) Check the SetStatusWindow Example in the manual. HTH, Johannes How are you doing your deploy? Are you using the Ant Tasks that come with OC4J? Do you have any examples you can share? I'm in the process of beating my head into a wall trying to make some sense of this mess. :confused: This is the code I'm scrapping my head against: Deploying ${deploy.ear} to ${targetenv} via ${oc4j.deployer.uri} userId="${oc4j.admin.user}" password="${oc4j.admin.password}" file="${deploy.ear}" deploymentName="${oc4j.deployment.name}" bindAllWebApps="default-web-site" logFile="${log.dir}/deploy.log"/> Undeploying ${oc4j.deployment.name} via ${oc4j.deployer.uri} userId="${oc4j.admin.user}" password="${oc4j.admin.password}" deploymentName="${oc4j.deployment.name}" logFile="${log.dir}/undeploy.log"/> Redeploying ${deploy.ear} to ${targetenv} via ${oc4j.deployer.uri} userId="${oc4j.admin.user}" password="${oc4j.admin.password}" file="${deploy.ear}" deploymentName="${oc4j.deployment.name}" logFile="${log.dir}/redeploy.log"/> Thanks in advance! 🙂

Something in my install was logged for uninstall. I forgot to disable logging. Now when I test my install I keep getting asked if I want to remove the application before reinstalling? How do I find this phantom entry in the registry and manually remove it? Thanks in advance, Jim EDIT: I just discovered that setting "Maintenance Experience" to "No Uninstall or Maintenance" will disable/turn this off.

I'm having some trouble setting up my script. I want my script to handle setting up environment variables, backing up configuration files, and copying the Ear file(s) where they need to go but I don't want to have the installer actually "install" files or other "objects", etc. All of my functions (including ones that are copying files) are getting called during the initial welcome screen. My installscript is controlled through a program...endprogram block. Should I restructure my script to call thes functions through the events? If so, what would be recommended? I'd like to have the each function show what is currently happening in the status screen/progress screen. Is there a pre-defined function to make this happen? Thanks in advance! Jim
