I was able to get this working once I realized that there was a 64-bit and a 32-bit component to the SafeNet client. I had to run the CSP and KSP registration commands for the 32-bit components before InstallShield could use the certificate. ... View more

I think I may have figured out what my issue is. I discovered that I cannot sign anything with the certificate if I use the 32-bit version of SignTool, but it works if I use the 64-bit version. Maybe InstallShield would work if I can get the cert to work with the 32-bit SignTool? I wonder if this has anything to do with the Luna client we use for the EV cert. ... View more

Sorry I should I mentioned that. Yes, we can sign files using SignTool.exe it's just InstallShield that gives us a problem. We get: ISDEV : error -1027: Failed signing ISSetup.dll ISDEV : error -1027: Failed signing Data1.cab ISDEV : error -6258: An error occurred extracting digital signature information from file " \Data1.cab>". Make sure the digital signature information provided in the IDE is correct. ISDEV : fatal error -6260: Internal build error Also, were you ever able to fix the issue you had on the build machine. ...

I realize this thread is quite old, but just curious how you even got the EV Cert to work on your workstation. We just had to switch over to an EV Cert and I can't even get it to sign things in the IDE. ... View more

Anything on this yet? I can't install the SAB for 2012 Spring on my build machine that already contains 2012. I can't believe something like this made it through testing. ... View more

Check out this link, I think it addresses your issue. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee844140(WS.10).aspx Basically, mapped network drives do not by default make it into the elevated state of an application. There is a registry tweak that will allow this but it is not something you will be able to do on the fly in your installation, nor is it something I would force on your users. Have you thought about having the user specify a UNC to the network share? ... View more

When network drives are mapped, they are linked to the current logon session for the current process access token. This means that, if a drive is mapped in a non-elevated state then it will not appear in any process that is being run elevated. Since InstallShield requires elevation to run you would not be able to see the network drives that were mapped. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937624 has more details on this topic and instruction on how to implement the EnableLinkedConnections workaround. Other solutions would be to map the same drives from an elevated command prompt, or to simply reference the UNC from within InstallShield. ... View more

For features there are 2 modifiers that you can use. The & indicates you are checking the action state of the feature, and ! indicates you are checking the installed state of the feature. The following article gives examples of what I am talking about. Hope this helps. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368561(v=vs.85).aspx ... View more

Provide movable COM+ extraction utility. Right now I need to install a demo version of InstallShield on the machine that has the COM+ piece running on it to import it into the project. Once I do that I can build and modify the project on any other machine, even if said machine does have that COM+ component on it. It would be nice if I could simply copy an EXE to the demo machine and extract all the COM+ info into a package of some sort. Then take that package to my InstallShield development machine and import into my project. ... View more

You can set an environment variable named INCLUDE with a semi-colon delimited list of paths you want the compiler to search through. ... View more

Yes, the variables are scoped to the current process. But that hasn't caused problems with our build process. We simply set the same variables in the scripts used at build time. I am not familiar with TFS builds yet, but I would imagine you could do something similiar there as well. ... View more

We use environment variables for path variables all the time here. However, we do not set them at the system level. Instead we created a small app that helps us manage our install projects. This EXE sets certain environment variables and then opens the ISM project in InstallShield. InstallShield in turn inherits the environment variables set from within the app. In your case it would be easier to create a CMD script that does the same thing. First the script would set your environment variables the way you want them, then it would open the project in InstallShield. BTW, this method has the added benefit of allowing simultaneously develope for different product environments on the same machine. ... View more

Is this an InstallScript object? If so, it doesn't show up in the list becuase InstallScript objects are now linked to the version of IntallShield they were created in. In order to use this object you will need to get access to the source code for the object, then open and build it in the version of InstallShield you are using. ... View more
