Use powershell script to install cert in whatever certificate store you want to. Powershell script can be invoked from a VB script custom action in InstallShield. Powershell scripting gives all types of parameters and options to install certs.

Can you please elaborate your solution a bit. I am new to IS. My website has only one feature which installs both websites.

Hi, I am creating a web application installer using Basic MSI project type in InstallShield 2010 Premier. I create two websites using Installshield's IIS view. Is there a way to turn on / turn off the creation of websites based on a command line parameter? i.e. I want the option to create or not create the website based on user selection. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Naveed

My understanding of your answer is: If I change the version number only (major/minor), same installer command will work fine. I don't need to change anything else e.g. Product code, package code, upgrade code? Naveed

Currently I run my msi package through this .bat file command msiexec /qn+ /i "ISProduct.msi" The problem is when product is already installed, this command doesnt do anything. I want to prepare a bat file command that should Install or update product. '/i' switch only installs the product. Is there a switch that does both Install or update existing installation? Thanks Naveed

Hi Rob, We got to the solution of renaming web.config by hit and trial. For some reason installer created on remote machine failed to install virtual directory and rolled back. We are using IS 2010 Premier and Windows Server 2008. However, If I remove or clear the web.config, then virtual directory is created successfully. Later on we replace the web.config with correct one. You know any proper fix for this work around?

When I run the installer. I run it as "Run as administrator". But problem still exists. When I build installer on my machine, it runs fine. When I build installer on another machine which is XP, it doesn't run correctly on my machine. 14:45:21: CommitChanges failed with the following HRESULT: '-1072894420'. If I delete the web.config, and run installer then installation is successful and website is create with a new default website. So error somewhat relates to web.config.

I am facing similar problem. You got any solutions for yours?

Not solved exactly but I have few more observations. This issue surfaces if MSI package is built on XP system and then run on windows server 2008. Some how, this installer doesnt have required access level to write IIS settings.If I remove web.config from setup package, it installs fine. Installer creates a default web.config file. Some access/permissions issue. If you get any help, please do share the solution. Naveed

I have a web installer that build and runs successfully with InstallShield build exe i.e. "C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\System\ISCmdBld.exe" However, when I build the installer using InstallShield 2010 Stand Alone Build, "C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010 StandaloneBuild\System\ISCmdBld.exe" It builds installer fine. But when I run the installer, it fails to create website and application pool on IIS-7 on Windows Server 2008. Please help with any fix. Log file shows: Setting property 'accessPolicy' to value 'Script, Read' for element 'system.webServer/handlers'. Old value: '513'. m_sSectionName : 'system.webServer/handlers'. InstallShield 14:45:21: getvaluelog InstallShield 14:45:21: put_value succeeded. get_StringValue now returns '0' with string value 'Read, Script'.

Basic MSI, IS2010 I want to rename some of the Path variables in my project. How to find and update all the references of these? e.g. In which table of Direct Editor I need to update? Any other place that need to be updated? Thanks, Naveed

I am creating a basic MSI installer using InstallShield 2010. In certain situations, I need to quit/abort installation from within vbscript custom actions. How can I do that. Please help. Thanks, Naveed

For built in installer events, log file entries only show time with each entry. e.g. Action start 10:00:32: FindRelatedProducts. Action ended 10:00:32: FindRelatedProducts. Return value 0. How can I modify it so that it also shows date and time in each log entry? e.g. Action start "12/16/2009" 10:00:32: FindRelatedProducts. Action ended "12/16/2009" 10:00:32: FindRelatedProducts. Return value 0. Thanks Naveed
