Hi All, We have built an installer using Install Shield 2016 premier SP1 - Advanced UI Project. This installer is working only on few machines and giving the below error on few machines. Working & non-working machines have the same image of the Operating system. Observations so far are: If we create an Installer manually in our local machine then it is working fine in all the machines. but If we create it using Azure CI Pipeline ( using C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2016\System\IsCmdBld.exe ) then we are getting this issue. I was only able to verify the version(2016) installed in both places, which is the same. Am I missing anything in the case of Azure CI Pipeline or IsCmdBld.exe ? Any thoughts on this situation. For comparing both systems,  I was trying to find any command which we can use to get the details( Highlighted in screenshot) of Install Shield installed in the Azure server, as I didn't have access to the physical server.

I am using Suite/Adavanced UI type project to  create unified installer (which contains mongodb,rabbitmq,robo 3T...etc subinstallers.) . we have few pre uninstall & post uninstall activities after each package .   when I click on uninstall of unified installer . all the sub installers,  uninstallation process is getting trigged at once. but I want to uninstall them in the order, which I have installed them.  how do we make parent installer to wait for package uninstall to complete ? for information mongodb, rabbitmq installers are from Null soft and they have a separate uninstall.exe file for uninstallation process.   I have  tried  /clone_wait  parameter . but no luck.  ...

Hi , I am using Advanced UI project to combine different sub installers(Ex: mongo,rabbit MQ..etc) &  create a single unified installer.  after installing each sub installer, I have to do few post install configurations, for that I am using Events/Actions with PowerShell & attaching them to package configuring/configured events.  As a part of post install configuration, I have to overwrite default mongo/rabbit configuration with application related configuration file.  Application related configurations I have added them to package as show in below screen.   when running action , in PowerShell i have to copy configuration from temporary/staged folder to target location, but I am not able to access the temporary location where each package is staged, default location for staged packages is (C:\Users\<profileName>\AppData\Local\Downloaded Installations\{AAF47C0B-F89C-4C68-80AD-36DCD5C002BB}) Any idea how get the temporary staged location of each package in related Action PowerShell file ? I am using InstallShield 2015 Premier.   ... View more

Hi - I have created an installer which has a self extracted Zip file (SFX with .exe extension) as a feature.  when installation process initiates this feature , SFX file is extracted to C:\Temp and runs install.bat file after extraction , which intern invokes child installers. this is all working fine. as a part of uninstall I have to invoke Uninstall.bat file in zip file.  I tried using like below but it didnt work.  Opeations => Remove=>EXE CommandLine => C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe C:\Temp\rabbitmq\uninstall.bat any thoughts on how to initiate a bat file using uninstall process.

Hi All, We have a complex  installer architecture .Any suggestions on this would be helpful. We have 4 Installers from 4 different Teams. I have to create unified installer.with some prerequisites. below are the brief details about 4 installers 1. Created Using Installsheild.  2.Create using Microsoft Msi project. 3. An self extract and running exe , on click of exe it Unzips all the files and runs bat file (as bootstrap) after unzipping, and bat file runs powershell  script to install 4 sub(child) installers and executes some custom scripts after each sub installer. 4. An self extract and running exe , on click of exe, it Unzips all the files and runs bat file (as bootstrap) after unzipping, and bat file runs powershell  script to install 3 sub(child) installers and executes some custom scripts after each sub installer. I started with Suite/Advanced UI Project. thinking  of creating a new setup file which would simply initiate the Child installer & rest would be taken care the child installer.  and which worked-fine for 1 & 2nd . But for 3rd and 4th  installer , after extracting the Zip file when ever bat is initiated. Set up shows a error saying "Looks like installer failed . do still want to continue." and setup finises . but bat file continues calling Powershell script and  installing   child installers. i.e setup is not waiting for bat to complete. do we have to change any settings so that installers waits for bat file completion?   Any suggestions on this would be helpful.
