I am making the FeatureSelectItem call from the OnBegin function. NumToStr(temp, FeatureIsItemSelected(MEDIA, "test")); MessageBox(temp,INFORMATION); FeatureSelectItem(MEDIA, "test", FALSE); NumToStr(temp, FeatureIsItemSelected(MEDIA, "test")); MessageBox(temp,INFORMATION); The feature is on in the first MessageBox and is disabled in the next MessageBox as you would expect. The issue is that on the "Select Features" dialog the feature is checked. How would I go about disabling the check box? ... View more

I am having some trouble with prompting the user with a simple custom action "Error" message. I created the error and left everything with the default settings. In my Dialog box I created a "DoAction" event and called the custom action when the user presses the "OK" button. I then put a condition on the error based on what path the user picks. If the user picks an invalid drive the error is displayed and it stays on the current dialog (the dialog that generate the error) if they pick a valid drive the error does not show up and the installer continues. My condition is working because if the user pick a valid selection it doesn't error as it should. The problem is when the user selects an invalid option, the error message displays as expected but then I get a "MSIEXEC.exe application error" The instruction at "0x0013a008" referenced memory at "0x013a008". The memory could not be "written". Ok and cancel. I tried changing the event order on the "OK" to have the DoAction before the return and I also tried it after the return but still have the same problem.

As per the thread below. I am wanting to only allow the user to pick drive that the software gets installed on and not the path (E.g. X:\Program Files\MyApp). X being the only thing they can select. I think I found what I want in the Dialogs designer with "Volume Select Combo". But I am getting "Error: 2819. Control VolumeSelectCombo on dialog CustomSetup needs a property linked to it." I can't seem to add a property in the "Property Manager" with a space in it or even if that is a solution to the problem. Any feedback on a better way of doing it would be appreciated. http://community.flexerasoftware.com/showthread.php?t=194091 I posted the above thread in the wrong location. ... View more

Is there a way not allow the user the ability to specify a path but allow them to select the drive that they want to install the component on? For example my application will go in X:\blah\app where X is whatever drive the user picks for that specific component. ... View more

As the title says. For example if have ANY version installed new or old, I want the installer to stop and prompt the user with a custom message explaining what needs to be done. If you are going to say "use the upgrade feature", we are dealing with binary database files which need SQL scripts (SQLAnywhere) to be run against the database and we haven't found an easy way of doing that through IS other than just executing BAT files. And if one of them fails we are scared we are going to end up being in some funny state with IS (correct us if we are wrong). Any suggestions would be appreciated on the matter though. As a stop gap though we are trying to do something as my first question. ... View more

I am trying to make a new major update for our product but I am having some issues. This is what I did. 1. Updated the PAckage Code 2. Changed "Version" number in the Product Properties page. 3. Change the "Product Code" 4. Went into the Media "Upgrades" section and added a "Major Upgrade Item". Everything builds and it states in the build log that it is generating a "Major Upgrade". The problem is if I install the first version (1.0) and then try running the upgrade exe (2.0 setup .exe) our program EXE gets removed and the desktop icon gets removed but the new exe doesn't get installed and the desktop icon doesn't get created. But I go check the Add/Remove programs and two entries for our product is in the list. If I have a virgin machine and install the newest installation program (the 2.0 exe) everything gets created just fine. ... View more
