Hell Dan, thank you for the reply. So first of all let me make it clear what I'm struggling for. I would like to be able to run my installer as if it was the first time for any version. So say that I'm doing launching the version 1.00.00 the first time, then - ON THE SAME MACHINE - I install the 1.01.00 I do not want to get any remove/modify dialogue. To do this as I I told you I launch the setup.exe installer through setup.bat which launches the command. start .\Setup.exe /V" REINSTALLMODE=voums REINSTALL=ALL" Is this the right way to do what I need?!? That being said as I told you I have to be able to uninstall the latest installed version from the Programs and features tab in the control panel. To do that I have copied the guid from Installation Information---->General Information---->Product Code ---> {4E513BB8-74A0-4626-A967-EFB85EAE9759} You can see that in the attached Scr1.jpg picture. Then -as you can see in the Scr2.jpg picture- I pasted this code in Media---->Releases---->Setup Tab----> Msi Command-Line Arguments----> /x {4E513BB8-74A0-4626-A967-EFB85EAE9759} Alas that didn't work. When I launch the installer it says 1629 invalid command line as you can see in Scr3.jpg So now I'm puzzled and don't know where I went wrong. Thank you for your help Patrick

I am intermittently getting the error -6002 Error-while-attempting-to-run-the-custom-build-setup-for-objects in a IS-MSI project. I have found various solution in this forum and they all say to eliminate Access but I am not using Access in my project. Any hint about how to solve this problem? Thank you in advance for any help since I am stuck for this at the moment Patrick

Hello everyone. I would like to be able to make an installation over the top which to me (correct me if I'm wrong) means I'd like to be able to install a program several time without going through the Uninstall/Modify/Repair Dialog or through the "Do you want to uninstall this program" messageBox. I got to find a first solution by launching the program through a batch file with Setup.exe /V" REINSTALLMODE=voums REINSTALL=ALL" 1. I would be nice to be able to embed those parameters so that I haven't got to use a batch file but can directly launch the setup.exe file. 2. the major issue now is that I am not able to uninstall the program since it doesn't appear anymore in the uninstall part of the control panel. And the setup.exe /x option is not working So basically if I use this option to make over the top installations i can't uninstall the program. Thank you for your kind help Patrick

I hope that helps. Thanx a lot for the help but I'd need something specific. I'd really need a CHECKBOX at the side of prerequisite form so that the user can uncheck some/all of them BEFORE pressing the next button. By doing that I wouldn't have to press YES INSTALL/NO SKIP per each prerequisite. Is doing it by installscript code the only chance? :confused:

Hello everyone, would it be possible to let the user decide whether to install prerequisites or not? That would be the logic: if ( (a prerequisite is NOT installed) AND (the user doesn't UNCHECK its checkbox)) install it; thanx in advance for any help Patrick

Thanx a lot Randy, I've been working thouroughly on the problem and got to the same solution. So now I know that I did well Patrick ITI_Randy wrote: There may be better options for you than having a compressed package of that size. Typically the reason for a compressed package is simply that you desire to distribute only a single file to your customer, but when it requires compressing 2 GB, it becomes impractical for both you and your customer. The project will take forever to build in your InstallShield IDE and it will take forever to unpack on the customer's target machine before the Welcome dialog appears. Another possible solution is to leave the file structure uncompressed and simply create a setup to handle the installation of the uncompressed files. Your package will build for you in seconds instead of 20 or 30 minutes and it will launch immediately for your end customer, instead of them thinking it has failed because it takes so long to start. You can do this and still distribute a single file by zipping the end result with a product like WinZip which will allow you to create a quick zip for deployment that simply unpacks your files, launches your setup, waits for it to complete and then dumps the leftovers. We have also found instances where we create a setup to handle the uncompressed files and then create a single ISO file of the structure which allows for quick easy transfer to CD/DVD or download by the customer as a single file.

Hello everyone Hello everyone I'm in desperate need for help. I've got an IS-MSI project with some redistributable installation. After the installation I need to know the location of the setup.exe file. Everything worked well before but now that i have inserted SQL among the prerequisites, it needs a restart therefore the directory found by GetCurrentDir is C:\Windows\System32 What's more PACKAGE_LOCATION is empty... I tried to put the Get CurrentDir before the prerequisites installation but even in the On Begin prerequisites start first and this spoils the GetCu rrentDir location So what can I do to get the setup.exe location? Thank u in advance for whatever might help me..... Patrick

Hello everyone. I use Installshield 2012 Spring Professional Edition Version 19 updated it with the SP1. I am having issues with an Installshield Msi project I work with. I am dealing with a very large number of files resulting in more than 2GB. Some of them are in the support files, some Others are part of the feature. What I need is that after the build everything is compressed in a single executable but when I compile I get a 0 code error with no further explanation. If I put them all in the support files I get SDEV : fatal error -5025: Could not save "E:\InstallShield 2012 Spring Projects\Output\PROJECT_ASSISTANT\SINGLE_EXE_IMAGE\DiskImages\DISK1\BRAND\2 - Main Program.msi" What have i got to do then? Thank you in advance for any help

Hi everyone, Is there a way to get the setup.exe name in a IS-MSI project? I need to build the setup which makes the setup.exe but AFTERWARDS i need to change it through Explorer or a cmd prompt into ---> whatever.exe. After that I'd like the installscript code to know what this changed name is. Thanx in advance for any help. Patrick

Thank u for your help Phill, I am pretty sure about this issue since i put some MsgBox and SdShowMsg. The former is doing fine while the other one just vanishes. The only hint is related to another problem which is show here by Flexera as a known issue http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalID=Q112476 and here by me as a thread in the forum: http://community.flexerasoftware.com/showthread.php?206412-Unknow-publisher-issue-on-Win8&p=488225#post488225 So could it be that SINCE THE PUBLISHER IS REPORTED AS UNKNOWN SdShowMsg COMMANDS ARE NOT EXECUTED? As for your mail I am doing nothing so weird as u can see in the example below SdShowMsg("UAC Level Change - Please wait",TRUE); if (RegDBSetKeyValueEx ("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\System", "EnableLUA", REGDB_STRING, "0", -1) < 0) then MessageBox ("RegDBSetKeyValueEx failed.", SEVERE); endif; SdShowMsg("UAC Level Change - Please wait",FALSE); any clue or workaround? Thanx Patrick

Hello everyone I am having a problem with the installer on Win8. Please just take into account that the same problem seems working fine on win7 or xp while on Win8 (with uac low) reports this msg: the publisher could not be verified are u sure u want to run this software? Publish: unknown publisher. Please note that before compiling I filled the field InstallationDesigner-->publisher with the name of my company which seems to be correctly understood by installshield since it's changed in {COMPANY_NAME}MyCompanyName. This is no trivial problem to me because the afore mentioned problem might scare some of our customers. Thank u in advance for yr kind help Patrick

Hello everyone, I have been using the same installscript code for ages on Win7 but when I got to Win8 it begun acting weird. The first thing which comes to my mind is that the SdShowMsg is ignored. :mad: I've got the Installshield 2012 Spring Professional edition and even with the SP1 the issue remains. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? any workaround? thanx
