Hi i need to check the version of the MSMQ installed on my target machine For this I have added a custom system search for searching a registry key The key value to which I get as far is : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSMQ\Parameters I am able to detect MSMQ successfully 🙂 But I need to get the version of MSMQ too! Inside these parameters one of the parameters is CurrentBuild I need to get the value data stored in this parameter.Can anyone tell me how to do that ? :confused:

Whenever I put a system search in my MSI installation it is the first thing that happens on executing the setup..Can I schedule it after showing a custom made dialog..? For example in our case we need to display the installation requirements(A dialog with Text Areas) in the begining and then check for the software/system requirements..

Hi I am using Installshield 2010 and have made several msi based installation projects.In most of them the custom action for launch read me after setupcompletesuccess's ok pushbutton is working perfectly .However in two of my projects launch read me custom action is not getting launched at all.All the settings are same.Nothing is missing.Infact I have gone through all the enteries in all the tables in the Direct editor to see if something is different in these msi projects than the others .Settings for custom action are immediate execution,asynchronus(don't wait for completion),always execute.Same settings are working fine for other setups.Please help somebody!:confused:

I am trying to Run an exe using Custom Actions I have copied my exe file + the files it refers to in it's root directory while running, in the Common Files Folder But on Installing It gives the following error - "Error 1721.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor" But when I am using some standalone exe file like "Notepad.exe" It works perfectly fine.. There is no problem in my exe file and it runs perfectly fine when I manually do it by double clicking it. Can you please help me Regarding this Issue? 😞

Can I directly use Nt Install / Control service through the Nt objects after that?I mean does that require writing Installscript codes?or I can use it just the way it is there in basic MSI projects.

Mayank23 · ‎Sep 25, 2009

But I am not able to find it anywhere.. Can you provide me with some link regarding that..

Mayank23 · ‎Sep 25, 2009

Hi,How I can Install and start a windows nt service using installshield installscript project..It was quite easy in In MSI,as we could directly set the conditions in the components window..But here in Installscript,there is no such option as Control nt service and Install nt service.. :confused:

Mayank23 · ‎Sep 15, 2009

Thanks I got it .I am making an empty folder Log and then in the remove table ..I am passing *.* in the file name and "Log" as directory property and YAY :cool: it works ..Yipeee:D

Mayank23 · ‎Sep 15, 2009

Thank you very much 🙂 Yeah the logfiles are created by my application in Log folder.. Had these log files be only one or two then I could have populated all of them in the remove file table using direct editor,but these log files are different for everyday.:( Can you please guide me again regarding this issue.

Mayank23 · ‎Sep 14, 2009

I am not able to fully uninstall my application.I am using Basic Msi project.After uninstallation , although all the other files and dlls are deleted but the folder structure(empty folders and subfolders) still remains intact along with the log file.What steps do I have to take in order to remove this "left over"( folder structure) too ? 😞

Hi Knoepdan and MichaelU, I have tried and it seems to work. But only problem is :It does not jump to next CA as CA of my vbscript couldn't execute because of the condition I put. It should skip my conditional CA altogether.How to do that? Is it some how related to return processing?
