Hi, I have a question: 1. I compiled my dlls using VS 2008 and changed the file versions to the new minor upgrade version (as I do always). 2. I built a minor upgrade successfully using Installshield 2009. 3. I upgraded my station to the new minor upgrade successfully. 4. I did file comparison between the output dlls from the compilation of step 1 (that the installshield took and make a package from) and the dlls that were installed at my station after the succeeded upgrade. (using windows tool: fc /b dll_after_compilation dll_after_upgrade). 5. they are suppose to be the same. They have the same file version but the result of the binary comparison is that they differ: fc /b "c:\After compilation\V.dll" "c:\After upgrade\V.dll" Comparing files c:\After compilation\V.dll and c:\After upgrade\V.dll 000015AA: 15 FA 000015AB: 00 48 the dlls are not com dlls. Does any one knows why is the difference between the both. it should be the same dll ?? Thanks, Ido ... View more

Hi, I have a situation like this: I created a compressed installation. when I run setup.exe, and the disk is full, I get a message while extracting: "1152: Error extracting C:\DOCUME~1\admin\LOCALS~1\Temp\{...}\...msi to the temporary location". I want to show a different message when that error occurs. Maybe there is a way to override the predefined run time error messages ? Thanks a lot, Ido ... View more

Hi, Is there any way to override run time errors. for example: I want to override Error 1152: extracting to the temporary location to something else like: "you do not have sufficient space". Any Idea ? Thanks, Ido ... View more

Hi, In the destinationFolder dialog, I want to search for a specific folder when the user changes the INSTALLDIR property. How can I trigger that action ? Thanks, Ido ... View more

Hi, I added a checkbox in the destinationfolder dialog. I have a Property called X that equals the location of a directory. for example: C:\FF\DD now I have to show that checkbox only if the user chooses the INSTALLDIR to be equals to the value of X. I tried the Show and Hide conditions of the checkbox in the dialog behavior: Action = Hide, Condition = X<>INSTALLDIR Action = Show, Condition = X=INSTALLDIR But it doesn't work. any ideas ?

Hi, I want to create a component for every file (also for txt, config, help, etc) The component wizard doesn't do it. It organizes all config files in one components and it is not good for me. Is there any fast way to do it in Installshield 2009 ? Thanks, Ido ... View more

Hi, I have a situation like this: I compile a solution that has projects a, b, c and d. In the post build of every project I copy the dlls to the specific folders to build a resonable tree according to my applications. you can see that there is an option that one application uses the same dll as the second application (like A and C that are using a.dll): Folder A (first application) a.dll b.dll Folder B (seconf application) c.dll Folder C (third application) a.dll d.dll This is the tree of the folders in my installshield. I installed that version (version I) and now I have that tree in program files... Now I want to make a patch. But I want a.dll in Folder A to stay as it was in version I, but in Folder C I want it to be a.dll version II (from a new compilation after changing the code). How can I configure the regular installation and the patch to solve that problem automatically ? thanks, Ido ... View more
