Morning all, I have created a Basic MSI which will run silently (so no user interaction) and I want to be able to programatically install certain features depending on whether MSExchange 2003 is installed. I'd originally thought that I could simply script this with a call to FeatureSelectItem but I've since discovered that this method isn't supported with Basic MSIs (which is a pain) and I understand that I may need to faff around with properties instead, possibly manipulating individual feature InstallLevel properties - but I'm not sure how. Can anyone help, maybe suggest a solution, or link any useful articles? Many thanks, Neil

InstallShield 2009

I'm fairly new to building MSIs and I wrote my first test MSI last night which uses a user-defined custom action to call a user-defined scripted function. It was all working ok last night before I left work and I could happily step into the function code when debugging, but this morning when I try and step into it, it tries to fire up Visual Studio instead and debug from that environment. For some reason it appears to be associating debugging the MSI with Visual Studio. Does anyone have any clue as to why it may be doing this, is there a setting which I may have inadvertently checked somewhere? Regards, Neil

InstallShield 2009

Afternoon all, We've recently migrated to InstallShield 2009 at work and I've have been tasked with packaging some software as part of our current project. Thing is I haven't touched InstallShield for several years and I'm a little rusty 🙂 My problem is this - I need to conditionally install some components to the target platform depending on which OS is present and I've noticed that there's some built in condition builder functionality as part of the component properties that can handle this. I thought this would be sufficient but it seems that I also need to check if certain apps are also present on the system. I figure that the component condition builder is probably too limited for my needs and I'll have to perform these more detailed checks in script. I'm sure this is possible to do in script (or via some other method) but atm I'm a little stumped. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Many thanks, Neil
