An icky solution....in the parameters for DoInstall we include : DOINSTALL_OPTION_NOHIDEPROGRESS this gives the focus to the child installation but it also shows the progress bar AGAIN....

Ribena · ‎Jan 22, 2010

When launching child installs from main installs the child install goes to the background of the main install while the main waits for the child to finish. In previous versions of installshield this was never an issue. I've tried passing all manner of cmdline switches and nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be great. The risk of upgrading...."breaking your installs"!!!....this is the last hurdle in migrating to 2010, I sure hope it's the last! Jennifer addendum: The only way around this I have found is to use DOINSTALL_OPTION_NOHIDEPROGRESS which is kind of gross because now the progress bar for each child install gets displayed and the install doesn't look as seamless.

Try signing the setup.exe manually with signcode and it works, bingo our company name comes up. Ok, this is what I needed to do to get it to work: a) reinstall InstallShield 2010 Premier AND SP1 completely (one of the menu items "Build -> Settings" now brings up dialog like it should) b) create new Media, signing works on my new media but not on any that existed when migrating projects from IS12 ....but now when I try to recreate my old media types it stops working, so clearly there is something about my media that is interferring in signing....now to pin point.....argh.

The only limitation is that InstallShield does not support using .pfx files to sign media header files (.hdr files) in InstallScript projects and the build silently ignores this. A new warning will be added to the Build process so users are notified of this limitation (#IOA-000052112). To narrow this down, just create a new project and specify to only sign setup.exe then verify that the Digital Signatures Tab is shown on the Setup.exe Properties page. Also, you can try running "SignCode.exe" to see if you can sign any executable.

Using the pfx I select "Sign setup.exe" (the only option) and I get no errors and yet it doesn't sign it, very similar to IS12! you'd think it would say something to indicate it's not signing. How do I get it to sign???? So are you basically saying Installshield's signing has been broken since IS12 and is still broken? If I change the password to a bogus one in IS12 it gives me an error saying the password is wrong. But if it's right it just does NOTHING? What am I to do? BTW I get the same thing in 2010, if I change it to a bogus pwd I get an immediate error 5032 failed to sign setup launcher...put in the right one and it does NOTHING. ... SO pfx for the other makes no diff, neither work

I think in IS12, Setup.exe by default was digitally signed by Macrovision, but that practice stopped as Setup.exe should be signed by the author. If this is the case, the your Setup.exe was never really signed using your own certificates. That's Lame!

I am trying to sign my InstallScript project media. The only option that works is "Sign media header" "Sign setup.exe" results in the error Failed to sign setup launcher -5032 However, signing the media header is not sufficient to remove the "unknown" from publisher when running my setup on windows 7 or vista. In my old version of InstallShield 12 I would select "sign media header" and "macrovision" would show up as the publisher. Also an installscript project. I am wondering how to get rid of this error! Gracias

Thanks! That will help!

Hi, First of all I want to change the language descriptors in my installscript project. I don't want it to say "English (United States)", just "English" as our product comes in either USA English or English International, regardless that it's not an option in the installer. So the only way I've found to do this is manually replace the string resource files. This is a pain but I don't know where else to do it. Secondly if I could fix this permanently somewhere in the IDE I would like to have all those string resource files compressed somewhere, like they used to be.... Cheers!

Ah, ok, I'll do that...install an evaluation copy, thanks.

Do you not have the software....it would take 2 seconds to reproduce. as I said in my original post: "the dialog box that appears in the other types of installs", meaning basic msi and installscript msi and NO it never appears in an InstallScript project

Ribena · ‎Dec 10, 2009

create a new one...go straight to builds settings.....NOTHING

Hi, I'm migrating my installs and have discovered the dialog box that appears in the other types of installs is not appearing in the InstallScript type project. If I click on Build -> Settings absolutely nothing happens....I'm trying to set a preprocessor define to compile a custom script and I can't. I can temporarily add it a media but I don't want it there long term... very odd. Cheers, Ribena
