How can I display a console dialog during the install task of a console installer? I want to have the user to have the option "Retry" and "Cancel" or as "Yes/No" dialog? I want to display this dialog from a custom code. Thanks.

Hello, I have a custom action that I would like to display a console prompt for user input depending on a condition in the custom code. I was able to do this if the installer is in GUI install mode by calling MessageDialog that Flexera provides on their website, but I don't see anything equivalent do display a console dialog during the install task. Thanks

Is there a IA variable that I can check to see what mode the installer is running under such a sGUI or Console? I need my custome code to behave differently based on UI mode. Thanks.

I was able to get what I needed to work by displaying dialog box during my custom code step. The display of the box is in a loop, if the user click retry the custom code that I want to rerun is executed again. this loops until there are no errors or the user clicks Abort.

Is it possible to write a custom dialog that can be used in the Install phase that is displayed in a loop? This part of my installer is executing database changes which can't be rolled back by not allowing the user to be able to retry the database script after perhaps correcting the issue the application will be in an inconsistent state. It seems like a silly restriction to not allow flow control during the install phase.

During the install phase of my installer, I would like to display a prompt if a certain error condition is met. I would like the user to have an option to retry the step that failed, but it seems that InstallAnywhere does't allow jump actions to jump back to a earlier step. Is there another way of doing this? I want the user to be able to possible recover during the installation instead of crashing out of the installer. Thanks.

The workaournd is to use the rule at the begining of the sequence with out the not operator and an impossible condtion like 1 = 0 so that the custom rule class will get included int he project. Then you can use the custome rule class later in the project witht he not operator without issue

Just to update this thread, I had to install the latest version of the license server in order to handle InstallShield 2013 SP1 connections all other users didn't have SP1 installed so it was working for them.

Talking with Flexera support it seems that this may be a bug in Installanywhere 2013, if the not operator is used ! then the class isn't loaded into the installer when it is built

This is what I get in my error log when I use ! ECR678 instead of ECR678 for the Rule Expression, Why would the rule expression change whether the class can be found or not. I'm not sure what info you want from my project configuration. null: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection was unable to be loaded: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection null java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection class com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection unavailable. null: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection was unable to be loaded: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection null java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection class com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection unavailable. null: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection was unable to be loaded: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection null java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection class com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection unavailable. null: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection was unable to be loaded: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection null java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection class com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection unavailable. null: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection was unable to be loaded: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection null java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection class com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection unavailable. null: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection was unable to be loaded: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection null java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection class com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection unavailable. null: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection was unable to be loaded: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection null java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection class com.p2es.checkSqlplusConnection unavailable.

Is there a way to set the CLASSPATH based on a users environment variables when the installer launches? I would like to add the following to the CLASSPATH: $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/ojdbc6.jar I don't want the users to have to set this CLASSPATH prior to running the installer. Thanks

Hello, I have written a custom rule that checks that a database connection credentials are valid. I'm finding that when I add my custom rule to an action and use the ! operator in the rule expressions (i.e ! ECR678 )then I get a NoClassDefinition found error when you tried to evaluate the rule, but if I don't use the ! operator and have my expression ECR678 then everything works as expected. Why would changing the rule expression to ! cause my class to not be found?

I have a user that is getting this error when connecting to the InstallShield license server to get a license: License error: No socket connection to license server manager (-7, 10015). All other users seem to be able to connect fine. Any ideas as to what might cause this error? Thanks

Is there a way to get multiple user input values on a single user input console screen like the advanced user input GUI panel? Or do I need to have a console input screen for each user input option.
