Hi In my InstallScript MSI project, I selected a selected the "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1" redistributable. However, on a 64-bit machine running "Windows Server 2008 RC2 Standard SP1", the prerequisite does not get installed. Looking at the list of redistributables, I see some of the .net frameworks with a 64-bit machine, but none for .net framework 3.5. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Jeff ... View more

Hi, I am wondering how I would update the file version for the exe that Installshield creates? When you go to the properties of the generated install and go to the version tab, you see "15.0.0.591". However, if you look at "File Version" contained within the "Other version information" group box you would see the version that was passed to the installer using argument "-y". Thanks Jeff ...

Hi all, Is there a way to set the exit code for a install script? If the user is running silently, then I want to be able to use exit codes to notify the user of any failures. For example, when running silently and the application is running, I want to exit the installer with a specific error code. Thank you in advance Jeff ... View more

Hi all, My clients wish to have a silent install where the response/recording file is optional. If no response file is provided then I would install all the default components and do not configure any of the components. Is there a way to either detect if a response/recording file is provided or read the command-line switches (so that I can define my own) Thanks Jeff ... View more

Hi, I have a InstallScript project which currently compiles into a Setup.exe when I choose to compress the files. Is there a way to have it be an msi file instead? Thanks Jeff ... View more

Hi, I was wondering how I would display a configuration status to the user. I don't want them to think the installer has frozen, so as the installer is configuring components, I want to display the current action. To that end, I created a custom dialog composed of a list box. As I perform a configuration task, I want to update the list box. So I have the following code while( !bDone ) nId = WaitOnDialog( sDialog ); switch( nId ) case DLG_INIT: hwndDlg = CmdGetHwndDlg( sDialog ); SdGeneralInit( sDialog, hwndDlg, STYLE_BOLD, szSdProduct ); SdSetDlgTitle( sDialog, hwndDlg, sTitle ); nStatusText = ListCreate( STRINGLIST ); CtrlSetList( sDialog, _SDCONFIGSTATUS_STATUSLIST, nStatusText ); ListAddString( nStatusText, "Configuring Componet 1", AFTER ); CtrlSetList( sDialog, _SDCONFIGSTATUS_STATUSLIST, nStatusText ); //perform task1 here; ListAddString( nStatusText, "Configuring Componet 2", AFTER ); CtrlSetList( sDialog, _SDCONFIGSTATUS_STATUSLIST, nStatusText ); //perform task2 here; case _SDCONFIGSTATUS_STATUSLIST: nMessage = CtrlGetSubCommand( sDialog ); case NEXT: bDone = TRUE; default: if ( SdIsStdButton( nId ) && SdDoStdButton( nId )) then bDone = TRUE; endif; endswitch; endwhile; However, the dialog does not appear until all the configuration tasks has completed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Jeff ... View more

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows how to update {product, package, upgrade} codes for a installshield project from the command line. I know that we can define a new release using IsCmdBld.exe and specify the -a and -r flags. But this does not appear to generate new GUIDs. Any help would be appreceiated. Thanks Jeff ... View more
