Hello all, i have upgraded my ism files from 2015 to 2018 and i figured out, that my "headless" vbs script now crash. Using the same Script with 2015 (ISWiAuto22 ) everything was fine. After some trial and error i figured out, that if i am using Newtonsoft.Json.dll in my MergeModule.ism file the build crash on the commandline. If i do the same stuff in the IDE, the build is running without error. At the commandline the build crashed after "Building File table". I have attached a sample project which crashes if i'm using 2018. Using in 2015 everything is fine. Any Idea? ================= Logging started at 1/24/2018 10:41:44 ================== Created release folders Directory table successfully built Component table successfully built Loading File table Building File table ...

Hello, i have a problem setting the destination path of a merge modul. I have set the path of the merge modul in the redistributable view (properties of the merge modul). I set the proerty called DLC_STARTUP in a Custom Dialog with MsiSetProperty. If i display the DLC_STARTUP property in a messagebox (in UI Sequence or Execute Sequence) the property contains the correct value. But the files of the merge modul a install to a wrong location! I found out, that if i set the property hard coded in a Custom Action called after AppSearch in UI Sequence and Execute Sequence than the value is used and the merge modul is installed to the hard coded destination. But this is to early because the Custom Dialog is called after InstallWelcome and there i want to set the path of the merge modul... How can i handle this? With MsiGetProperty i always get the correct value after setting it but the merge modul get an empty value and is installed in C:\ and not in the specified path. Any Idea? thx ... View more

Hi all, i want to create a service using installScript but nothing happens. I use the following Code and if i get the GetExtendedErrInfo no error will be displayed but i can't see the service in the services.exe application. function createDBService(hMSI) // To Do: Declare local variables. STRING StartCmd,StopCmd,startTimeout,stopTimeout, serviceName, serviceNameTxt,svScriptFile,svError,szName,svResult,svValue, serviceUser,servicePassword, serviceDependency; INT startBuffer,stopBuffer,starttBuffer,stoptBuffer,serviceBuffer,serviceBuffer1,serviceBuffer2,serviceBuffer3,nvLineNumber,nvError, nResult,nResult2; begin startBuffer=1000; stopBuffer=1000; starttBuffer=1000; stoptBuffer=1000; serviceBuffer=1000; serviceBuffer1=1000; serviceBuffer2=1000; serviceBuffer3=1000; // get properties MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"STARTCMD",StartCmd,startBuffer); MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"STOPCMD",StopCmd,stopBuffer); MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"STOPTIMEOUT",stopTimeout,stoptBuffer); MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"STARTTIMEOUT",startTimeout,starttBuffer); MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"AA_SERVICE_NAME",serviceName,serviceBuffer); MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"AA_SERVICE_DESC",serviceNameTxt,serviceBuffer1); MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"AA_USER_NAME",serviceUser,serviceBuffer2); MsiGetProperty(hMSI,"AA_PASSWORD",servicePassword,serviceBuffer3); MessageBox(serviceName + " " + serviceNameTxt + " " + serviceUser + " " + servicePassword,WARNING); ServiceInitParams (); SERVICE_IS_PARAMS.dwServiceType = SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS; SERVICE_IS_PARAMS.dwStartType = SERVICE_AUTO_START; SERVICE_IS_PARAMS.dwErrorControl = SERVICE_ERROR_IGNORE; SERVICE_IS_PARAMS.lpServiceStartName = &serviceName; SERVICE_IS_PARAMS.lpPassword = &servicePassword; nResult = ServiceAddService( serviceName, serviceNameTxt, serviceNameTxt, TARGETDIR ^ "myexe.exe", FALSE, "" ); if (nResult < ISERR_SUCCESS) then GetExtendedErrInfo ( szName, nResult, nResult2 ); NumToStr ( svResult, nResult ); NumToStr ( svValue, nResult2 ); MessageBox ("Can not install Application Server service.\n" + "\n Script: " + szName + "\n Line: " + svResult + "\n Error#: " + svValue + "\n Error: " + FormatMessage (nResult2), SEVERE); else MessageBox("Successfully creating service",WARNING); endif; if(ServiceExistsService(serviceName) == TRUE) then MessageBox("Successfully creating service",WARNING); endif; end; Every time i get into the nResult < ISERR_SUCCESS section and the message says: --------------------------- ABC - InstallShield Wizard --------------------------- Can not install Application Server service.
