I have a Installshield 2015 project where I added new code to install .Net Framework 4.6.2 offline installer. I observed the pc automatically restarts after installation of .Net Framework This one installed manually works fine. But when installed through Installshield it immediately restarts skipping other stuffs pending in setup. This is the code for that function: function insallframework() STRING szPath; begin szPath=szFrameworkSetupPath ^ "NDP462-KB3151800-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe"; SdShowMsg("Installing .Net Framework 4.6.2. Please wait...",TRUE); LaunchAppAndWait(szPath,"/q /norestart",LAAW_OPTION_WAIT|LAAW_OPTION_HIDDEN); // Delay(10); SdShowMsg("Installing .Net Framework 4.6.2. Please wait...",FALSE); end; After this function gets executed there are two more functions : InstallVCRuntime() which installs VC++ 2015 runtime and InstallAccessRuntime() which installs MS Access 2007 runtime. Once installation of .Net framework 4.6.2 is complete the pc automatically restarts when InstallVCRuntime is in progress. I tried lot of commandline options and still happens the same. This works perfectly on Windows 7. In Microsoft website the commandline is mentioned as: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee942965.aspx#command_line_options Manually in run command if I put the commandline options it works fine. "C:\Build\NDP462-KB3151800-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe" /q /norestart Does anyone has any idea or seen similar problems? ... View more

This happened on few computers here: 1) We have a 2013 Installshield setup which installs .net framework 4.0, AccessDatabaseEngine, Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable. 2) When we install on a pc which has MS office installed after that our application is not working, we are getting frequent "Access Violation related crashes" 3) Then we did a repair of Office 2007 it worked. No access violation crashes. 4) Then again we uninstalled and installed the same installshield setup again we got the crashes related to Access violations. 5) Did repair of office , it worked again.... This is a strange issue pointing out to Installshield. But not sure why is it happening. Why only after installing it is happening ?If any one has some idea that would be grateful.... Thanks Office 2010 also shows similar issue. ... View more

My project is migrated from 2012 to 2013 premier. When I made the setup and installed, on couple of Client laptops it is giving Access Violation related crashes. My code base in VS2010. When I copy the binaries(i.e. the dlls and the exe's) directly to the client pc it works. No crashes. But same binaries deployed through Installshield setup is giving lots of crashes. All related to Access Violation "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often indication that memory is corrupt". Usually the crashes are for imm32, ole32, shwapi, mswsock One observation : there is some software called Glary's Utilities installed and looks like laptop image is encrypted. I am not sure what is causing this issue. My binaries looks fine. Please help me out in resolving out this issue. ... View more

I have a Basic MSI project which does a major upgrade of previous builds. It uninstalls the previous version and then installs new version. I have added a customized warning message when user clicks on Remove in Add/Remove Programs so that user can still cancel uninstallation if he has clicked by mistake. But during upgrade also the same message is coming which I want to hide during upgrade. since this message is in Uninstall logic. if user selects on cancel then it will be a problem as upgrade will not happen. Is there any way to detect if this uninstallation is happening as part of major upgrade or then I dont want to show this message.? or is there any way to suppress Messages during silent installation of a basic MSI setup? ...
