Surprisingly, this does not exist on github or I couldn't find it anywhere else by google either. Can you upload it on github? Or I can do that so it can easily be found and updated too.

Thats all great I use feature prerequisites only. The question originally asked here was HOW do you run a custom action BEFORE these feature prerequisites are installed. For some really bizarre reason the ISInstallPrerequisites step is in the user interface sequence and no explanation to why this is has been offered by anyone. If you go for the obvious option of inserting your "deferred" custom action immediately after InstallInitialize then you're out of luck. Prerequisites have already been installed. If your custom action must run in deferred execution then it really does seem that this is unachievable. Windows Installer + Basic MSI is sadly a black art which requires some insight into the possibly warped minds of its creators in order to be able to work with it - and stick to working within its limitations you must! Anyway lets say that your custom action is going to take some time to execute (its going to access the internet and download some stuff which might take ages over a slow satellite link) so lets go with the next best thing make it a synchronous in the user interface sequence. Yes that really sounds like a great idea!!! REALLY well I'm just going to give that a try and see if I can get the progress bar to work. Somehow it seems doubtful. Can anyone offer a better solution or maybe someone can tell me how to update the main progress bar without using a deferred custom action.

By passing in the SUPPORTDIR value as CustomActionData, was able to access it with in the script. Thanks for the lead.... Reureu wrote: As you pointed out, the SUPPORTDIR variable and the SUPPORTDIR property are not the same. If your DLL is added as Support file in your project, you need to access it with the SUPPORTDIR property. If I remember well, this property is not accessible if your custom action is scheduled for deferred or commit execution, and it returns an empty value if you try to access it in such a custom action. Consequently, you need to pass this property as Custom Action Data. See http://helpnet.installshield.com/installshield21helplib/helplibrary/AccessingProps-DeferredCAs.htm. This page refers to InstallShield 2014, but I'm pretty sure the procedure is the same with 2013. Good luck!

Hi Josh, Thanks for your reply. I understood what the root cause was and it was easy to resolve, but you probably understood why I got a bit surprised to see it fail only on Vista. But yes, this error in my code suddenly being revealed might well be related to the new runtime libraries. I would have thought that these libraries would work in the same way on Vista as on other OS's though. Best regards, Reureu

Hi Josh, Thanks a lot for your answer! I wish the support technician had escalated the corresponding incident to you. It would have saved me a long time finding a way to isolate this bug. But there is something I have missed there: according to the release notes of IS 2012 Spring SP1, this bug should have been resolved in the version I'm using.

We managed to solve this problem. For some reason, one folder remained in the User's temp folder after a previous installation failure. 'C:\Users\HPOA-P~1\AppData\Local\Temp\{A9558FEF-329B-46C3-8141-CDDDCD03CDF3}' This folder would normally be used to extract some files (like ISBEW64.exe) required by the InstallScript engine. This folder was left by a previous aborted tentative, and Windows Explorer would not let me delete it. I had to start a Command Prompt as Administrator to delete this folder. Then the installation worked smoothly.

I'm not sure, but I believe this is largely considered overkill these days. It also conflicts with ASLR, and I believe in cases where the binding address and the actual address differ, the loading is even slower than the unbound case.

Please make sure your assemblies are strongly named. That is the essential part. •Shall I make only 1 component, and include it in FeatureCommon? Or shall I make 2 components (ComponentA and ComponentB), and assign them to FeatureA and FeatureB respectively? Because the products share the assembly, I would have included it in the FeatureCommon. •If I make 2 components, shall they have the same Component Code? Yes. •Shall I set the component as "Shared", or will the GAC handle the reference counting by itself? You do not have to mark it as shared. GAC handles the sharing part.

This won't fix the rest of the problems you describe, but the requirement for 4.0 can be addressed by changing your .NET Framework File Locations settings on the .NET tab of Tools > Options. If you only require the .NET 2.0 framework, for example, point to the .NET 2.0 framework folders, and the search should reflect that version. As for the rest, we are aware that the .NET Precompile Assembly option's implementation is, um, not that great, and are tracking the request to improve it as #IOC-000061592.

The compiler does do some basic type checking on variable types that it has knowledge about. Unfortunately, no type checking can be applied to variables declared as OBJECT (which are COM objects). No type checking can be performed on these types of variables because they are all late-bound COM objects, meaning the compiler has no information about them at compile time (and there is no way to specify how to obtain such information, such as through a type library). The Err object is an implicit OBJECT implemented by the InstallScript engine, and it isn't treated any differently by the compiler compared to other OBJECT variables. Issues such as this with late-bound objects are also present in other languages, including C# with the 'dynamic' keyword that allows using late-binding. Errors in object/method use for late-bound objects are caught at runtime as a result.
