Thanks, Unfortunately we are using the AWS CloudHSM KSP and CNG providers and they are only 64-bit. Some more digging for me... Looking at upgrading to IS2018 to see if Flexera sorted the 64-bit issue. Thanks again. Cheers, ME

Have either of you gotten this working? We moved to AWS CloudHSM and I cannot get this working. As esiemiat has stated, the 32-bit signtool does not work as it cannot find a match between the private and public keys. I can sign using the 64-bit signtool so I am thinking that I will need to do a custom event that will sign the files as they are being streamed into the package then use the Precompression event for signing a MSI and the Postbuild event to sign any single .exe produced. The last two events are easy but the streaming one has eluded me :confused:. Any ideas either of you may have would be welcomed. Cheers, ME

Any answer on this? I am wondering the same thing. ME

Hey GG, According to your example you have a Basic MSI or an InstallShield MSI project. If you do, then you should be able to set the properties using the INI File Changes View. I am not sure if that is available in IS2009 Express. If it is, then you will be able to set up your value to include the [INSTALLDIR] property. If that does not work, you will have to create a custom action to modify the Desktop.ini file. You can use the InstallScript function WriteProfString() to update the file to reflect the path correctly. Just remember to flush the cache after writing. WriteProfString( "Path:\To\Desktop.ini", ".ShellClassInfo", "IconFile", INSTALLDIR ^ "icons\\menu_folder.ico" ); WriteProfString( "", "", "", "" ); // null string for all four parameters to clear the cache. If you have an InstallScript project then the above code would work as well. Hope this is helpful. ME

Just wondering if anyone has run into this. Any insight would be helpful. Cheers, ME

Hello all, I am seeing a very strange issue here that I have not been able to get a good answer for. I have upgraded an IS2008 InstallScript project to use IS2009 and likewise for the build scripts using the StandAlone build automation interface. I can build the project fine from the IDE however when attempting to build using ISCmdBld.exe the interface is attempting to upgrade the project.

Anyone run into this before? Help! ME

Glad it worked. 🙂

Hey Chetan, I am not very familiar with IS11.5 however to make the desktop.ini a system file is as easy are running a DOS command 'attrib +s +h desktop.ini'. As for the tool tips, if the description field in IS11.5 corresponds to the comment field of the shortcut then you should not be seeing an issue. To check this, look up the properties of the shortcut you created. If the description you wrote, Start the EJB server, is there then click apply and test the tool tip on hover. I have seen some behaviour like this when IS sets the information correctly but is not able to refresh the UI to show it. It usually will show correctly after a restart of the system. Cheers, ME

MarkEarle · ‎Mar 28, 2008

Well gang, It seems like we are the small fish in a very big pond here. I would return IS2008 if they allowed it because of this issue. As it is, it looks like I will be downgrading to IS11.0 or looking at Wise because there doesn't seem to be any help here. Thank you all for your replies and good luck. It's a pity as I usually defend IS but they have let me down. 😞 ME

MarkEarle · ‎Mar 28, 2008

Chetan, You have to place the file in the folder you want to display the changed icon. In your case it should be in: DRIVE:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Savvion The Desktop.ini file should have the System and Hidden attributes set. Just remember you will have to delete this file before you remove the shortcuts since IS will not remove it because it contains a file it did not put there. Cheers, ME

MarkEarle · ‎Mar 17, 2008

Michael, That being said, I have IS2008 Premier and it is supposed to have support for Chinese (Simplified) however it does not render the characters correctly in a combo box to choose the installed application's display language. I am getting the values from a UTF-8 file which has the correct symbols as the languages are shown in their native text. Does InstallShield render the characters correctly only based on a target systems' settings? My project is InstallScript. Cheers, ME

MarkEarle · ‎Mar 17, 2008

ZenDragon, Is it fixed? I was away for March Break so I couldn't reply? You got the IS master when Robert answered. Anyway hope the help worked. Cheers, ME

MarkEarle · ‎Mar 11, 2008

What you have to do is call the custom action you created just before InstallFinalize. The InstallFinalize action is the last transacted action taken by the installation package. If you look up InstallFinalize in the help files it will give you more information. So the steps are: [LIST=1] Add a script file to your project and craft your exported functions. Create a custom action as per the instructions from my last post that calls the functions. Move that action to just before InstallFinalize so it is the second last thing your package does. Make sure you have figured out if you are installing/uninstalling or you may get bad results. Cheers, ME

MarkEarle · ‎Mar 11, 2008

Hey Josep, It is not allowed under Support Files - Language Independent. However you can add folders under Support Files - Advanced Files - Other. The documentation snippet is: To add a file or folder to a disk image folder: [LIST=1] Click the Other node in the Support Files view. The Files pane is displayed on the right. Right-click anywhere in the Files pane and select Insert Files or Insert Folder, or place your cursor in the Files pane and press INSERT (to insert a file) or Ctrl+Insert (to insert a folder). The Open dialog is displayed. Select a file or folder in the Open dialog and click OK to add the file to Last Disk. To specify the disk, run the Release Wizard and in the General Options panel, click the Other Disk Files button. You can find the whole document and the references by looking up 'Adding Files and Folders to the Other Disk Folder' in the help. Cheers, ME

MarkEarle · ‎Mar 11, 2008

Is this still a problem? A little poking around the help files will definitely give you what you need to write your own script. If you still need help let me know. Cheers, ME
