I upgraded a project from 2012 to 2013 and it no longer can find mdac 2.7. Any ideas?

So I have 32GB of ram and 4 CPU's, yet isdev.exe only uses 273MB of ram and takes 20 minutes to extract the com data from 15 components. How can I improve this?

thanks. Is it possible to be notified when this work order is done?

Basically, my package that the suite is installing has a different name, e.g. MyInstall_1.0, then later it is MyInstall_2.0. I rather not be in the business of constantly changing every reference of MyInstall_XXXX in my suite. I see that there is a dynamic selection, but I don't understand how to update the operations, which appear to require a specific name. Hence, the need to update the .issuite project file. perhaps there is a better way.

when will the automation interface be available for .issuite projects? the only thing that seems to work is open and close a project. Thanks

So I added a launch condition to check for the existence of a required component, but I'd like to either: change the "ok" button to a "download" button. add a click-able URL in the message Is that even possible? Doesn't look like we have much control with the popup message dialogs.

It appears that even if I specify "Download From The Web" as a property, that it always includes the setup.exe of the pre-requisite. I don't want it to include the pre-requisite in my setup. What am I doing wrong? Thanks,

I don't think you want to change the target computer's security. What is the problem you are trying to solve?

I believe findrelatedproducts will find each upgradecode you list in the upgrade table

TurboFisch · ‎Feb 11, 2014

thanks. at the moment I'm experimenting with prerequisites as I can condition it to specific features just like merge modules. at the moment, the setup.exe is not a combined into a single file, but creates a subdirectory "ISSetupPrerequisites". My requirement is that I must have a single installer.

I realize nested installs are deprecated, however, no other group/product will share the nested installers. So the servicing issue is really a low risk. what I have is 2 installers, produced by a complicated set of Wix processes. There are hundreds of components I each of these. It would appear that it would be a lot of work to re-architect and I don't have the time for that or even test it. Somehow I need to incorporate these outputs in our Installshield project, so that the customer will only have a single installshield to deal with. If there was a way to change the output or convert to merge modules, that would interest me. I looked at chained msi and pre-requisites, but they did not seem appropriate or scriptable.

TurboFisch · ‎Feb 07, 2014

well, that's not going to work as I need to use a nested msi, which is not available in a merge module project.

is there a way to compile out custom actions? features can have release flags, but it appears that custom actions can't or at least I don't understand how it is achieved.

add an entry in the upgrade table using the direct editor.
