I'm using Device Driver Wizard in Basic MSI project to create a single exe. It's working fine in Windows 7 but when i try to install the same in Windows 8, its getting rolled back and fail to install the driver. Is there any special settings for making it work in windows 8.

Is there a way to achieve this? I don't want the title bar or border for my dialogs.

I want my installer(Basic MSI) to uninstall some third party application in that machine and then install my app. I've written a custom script which will launch "msiexec /qn /X{thirdpartyGUID}". When i add this in the user interface sequence my goal is achieved but it fail to uninstall if i run my installer silently using /s I read that User Interface sequence will not be executed if the setup is run silently. But how to achieve this. Is there any other workaround.

Thanks. Posted here to check whether there are any options to removed shortcuts from IDE itself, but in vain. Implemented DeleteFolderIcon to delete shortcuts now.

Hi, How to edit the startmenu shortcut during minor upgrade. The existing shortcut is under Start>Programs>ProductName>executableFile. Now during minor upgrade i want to change this to Start>Programs>CompanyName>ProductName>executableFile. I'm using IS 2009 Basic MSI. When i added the CompanyName as a new folder under Programs, I get this new shortcut but the old existing one's are not removed. I could see both shortcuts after upgrade. Please help.

I'm also facing the same problem. Any Help F1!!! I doubt this problem with the VBScript.

Use the Required Execution Level setting to specify the minimum level required by your installation's Setup.exe file for running the installation (the setup launcher, any InstallShield prerequisites, and the .msi file) on Windows Vista and later platforms. The available options are: Administrator—Setup.exe requires administrative privileges to run. Administrators must authorize it; non-administrators must authenticate as an administrator. Highest available—Setup.exe prefers administrative privileges. Administrators must authorize it; non-administrators run it without administrative privileges. This is the default option for InstallScript and InstallScript MSI projects. Invoker—Setup.exe does not require administrative privileges, and all users can run it without administrative privileges. Setup.exe does not display any UAC messages prompting for credentials or for consent. This is the default option for Basic MSI projects.

Thanks MichaelU. Do we have any workaround to handle this in IS 2010 itself. I'll think of upgrading to IS 2011 after the current release.

This applies to InstallScript and InstallScriptMSI 1. In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design or Features. 2. Select the "subfeature a2" feature. 3. Click the Required Features property and then click the ellipsis button (...) 4. The Required Features dialog box opens. 5. Select the "Feature B" check box. 6. Click OK.

I'm using InstallScript Project on InstallShild 2010. I added Chinese(PRC) under GeneralInformation tab and Releases tab. I could see the added strings in the StringEditor also. But when i try to install on any machine, i could see only ??? (question marks instead of Chinese language). when i export the strings to UNICODE, i could see chinese language when i open it in Notepad. Can you please help in getting them on the installers.

Hi, I have 2 batch files. One should be executed as a last step of Installation process and another as first step of Uninstallation process. I got to know about the custom actions, but please let me know the sequence of actions and the place where my 2 batch files should be called. The batch files starts and stops some windows services. I have a batch file as there are many services(11 services).
