Yes, thanks, but my question is if I defer the reboot to the end of the installation, will it cause any problems in terms of pre-compiling the .Net binaries? ... View more

In our similar situation, we opted to move our .NET prereq from feature prereq to setup-prereq. That way it is all done before our install begins and isn't affected by the lack of movement in progress bar. For our SQL Server prereq it is still a feature pre-req since only needed if a certain feature is selected. However, we have since modified the SQL Server's command line from /qn to /qb to show its user-interface accordingly. To my knowledge, this is only an issue on Windows Vista as feature prereqs seem to work fine on XP. Here is a related forum posting with some additional information. http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=183097 ... View more

Great, thanks, I will try the "CustomActionData". [CODE](On the other hand, if you can launch the caspol executable directly, you can pass [INSTALLDIR] as an argument without needing CustomActionData.)[/CODE] Thats what I was doing, however, caspol shows the command prompt windows when executing and it doesnt take an argument or such to do it silently. So I am going to supress the windows programmatically. ... View more

Hmm that's it.. There was another exe inherited from the exe that I executed. So after I execute that I now check if the inherited exe is finished in another Custom Action. Thanks for the help! ... View more

Yes, thanks Robert! Another question along these lines, if the user is not admin, i want to terminate the installation as well. Is there an easy way of this or do I need to create a Custom Action and find that out and evaluate a property and use it in the Launch Conditions? Any tips on figuring out if the user is admin or not? Thanks. ... View more

Alright, I've submitted this under IOC-000078036. You can use this number to search the release notes of future releases, or ask our support staff, or even just ask about it here (with the standard caveat that this is not an official support forum, etc.). In practice, though, this one is a small enough change I should be able to get a working prototype, and if you can accept it without it going through our QA process, can post an updated file for you to use with your current product. Also I've gotten a little more review of how the command line parameters work again, and I don't think the second workaround I suggested can work (sneaking in a /q_ in the properties field), so without updated code from us, you would have to modify the property. ...
