Hi, It seems the issue was with a Merge Module that for some reason got added due to dll dependence.

Hi all, I'm dealing with a problem the past week and I'm about to give up. We have an ism project that installs our Application Server. It seems that two folders are being copied to C root drive and I can't understand why. I've checked the msi folder and I can see those two folders also there but I don't have a clue how and why they got there. I don't see any reference in the ism project (no components or linked library) and the installation log doesn't help either. Is there a way to know how and why folders\files are being added to the installation\msi folder? Any other way to add files besides the regular "add" and linked folders? I've thought maybe one of the dlls has some kind of dependencies that cause those folders and files to be copied but it seems weird to me that the extra folders are being copied to the root drive. If more information is needed please let me know. Thanks

Hi all, I'm trying to create a prerequisite for Balser installation that suppose to run if a registry key has a specified value. This is my setting in the Condition tab: A registry entery has a specified value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Basler\Pylon\InstalledModules IP Configurator x64 6.1.1.19832 Data on target system is equal to specified data When running setup.exe the prerequisite screen isn't shown although the registry key does exist with the exact values. Below is taken from the debug log: 9-30-2020[04:27:30 PM]: Checking setup prerequisite 'Basler pylon 6.1.1.19832.prq' 9-30-2020[04:27:30 PM]: Prerequisite 'Basler pylon 6.1.1.19832.prq' scheduled before feature selection 9-30-2020[04:27:30 PM]: Extracting 'Basler pylon 6.1.1.19832.prq' to C:\Users\asi\AppData\Local\Temp\{457CD4B8-86F4-4E97-AF99-37F3F2F30FE6}\Basler pylon 6.1.1.19832.prq 9-30-2020[04:27:30 PM]: PrereqEngine: condition,1,2,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Basler\pylon\InstalledModules,,, -- Failed! 9-30-2020[04:27:30 PM]: PrereqEngine: file,A1421005C5D88C3203AF84DCC4722436,D:\main_Installation\GenASIsInstallation\Src\ASI_Installation_Resources\SetupPrerequisites\Basler_pylon_Runtime\pylon_Runtime_6.1.1.19832.exe,,,, -- Successful, 9-30-2020[04:27:30 PM]: PrereqEngine: execute,pylon_Runtime_6.1.1.19832.exe,/install /quiet,/install /quiet,1046,3010,, -- Successful 9-30-2020[04:27:30 PM]: PrereqEngine: dependency,D:\main_Installation\GenASIsInstallation\Src\ASI_Installation_Resources\SetupPrerequisites\Basler pylon 5.0.11.10913 Remove.prq, -- Successful 9-30-2020[04:27:30 PM]: PrereqEngine: Id,{2941F790-34AD-456B-8C84-44AF88E5E6C4},, -- Successful Any idea what can cause this issue and how it can be resolved?

Hi InstallShield Forum, We want to install C++ 2019 Redistributable as a prerequisite as part of our complete installation. I've created a prq with the following settings: Application to Run: VC_redist x64.exe Command-line: /install /quiet /norestart Specify the return code the application return if a reboot is required: 1641,3010 Now when the installer is running for some reason the prerequisite prompt for a restart, although when running the exact command line outside of InstallShiled, the installer doesn't prompt for a restart. I've searched for a solution but until now didn't find any solution to this behavior. How can I make InstallShield install C++ 2019 without prompt for a reboot? Thanks, Liran.

Hi @banna_k , will try it out and update 🙂 One thing I found strange when trying to use the Custom Action for create\config services. It seems that at the begging of the log the InstallServices actions starts but doesn't install the services. It doesn't seems to do anything actually: MSI (s) (10:9C) [11:12:47:129]: Doing action: InstallServices Action 11:12:47: InstallServices. Installing new services Action start 11:12:47: InstallServices. InstallServices: Service: Action ended 11:12:47: InstallServices. Return value 1. But later on in the InstallFinalize step the Services does being installed\started\etc.: Action 11:12:47: InstallServices. Installing new services MSI (s) (10:9C) [11:12:47:660]: Executing op: ProgressTotal(Total=2,Type=1,ByteEquivalent=1300000) MSI (s) (10:9C) [11:12:47:661]: Executing op: ServiceInstall(Name=MyService2,DisplayName=MyService2,ImagePath="C:\Program Files So if I want to run sc config\delete\stop Custom Action it seems that I need to run it after the InstallFinalize step and not the InstallService one since it seems the InstallService runs before the services are even being installed. Am I missing something? Thanks, Liran.

I'm currently using a workaround using Custom Actions and Sequences but I'll be more than happy to use the build in way for creating, deleting and configuring services. Thanks, Liran.

Hi @rguggisberg Thanks for the quick replay 🙂 this is exactly what I did and it still doesn't work (I've attached a screenshot of the service Control Settings). Thanks, Liran

Hi Flexera community, how you all doin'? I've started a new job recently and as part of my job I'm responsible of the InstallShield application(2012 - Professional Edition Service pack 1 Version 18). I've been asked to add a new Service as part of the install process and also make sure it Log On as a specific account. I thought it will be easy enough but for some reason it isn't and after hours and hours and of trying to resolve my issue myself I decided it is time to ask the community for assistance 🙂 There are two issues I'm currently facing but I'll start with the weird one. After I've defined a new Component with all the relevant dll and exe files I've set the exe file as a key and then under Organization --> Components --> Services I added a new Service and defined the Control Setting to "Install Start; Uninstall Stop; Uninstall Delete". After installing the application the Service is shown and up and running (I can also see it under the ServiceInstall Action in the log). The problem is with the uninstall, for some reason the Service isn't being Stopped or Removed. It also missing from the log (under the ActionStart StopServices and DeleteServices part). I've checked that the Component itself is not Permanent and the Remote Installation is set to Favor Local. I also checked both SerivceControl and ServiceInstall tables and they seems ok to me. Any idea what else I should check? what am I missing? Thanks anlot 🙂 Liran.
