Visual Studio 2015 Dev Cmd Prompt msbuild "Myproject.proj" works fine and has done for a long time! Visual Studio 2017 Dev Cmd Prompt msbuild "Myproject.proj" gives error "D:\CompanyName\ProductName.proj" (default target) (1) -> "D:\CompanyName\Installs\ProductName\ProductName32exe.isproj" (Build target) (16) -> (Build target) -> C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2016\InstallShield.targets(77,3) : error : -7159: The product license has expired or has not yet been initialize d. Do I need to change something in a isproj or targets file or is this an InstallShield issue? Thanks in advance, Adam ... View more

Hi, Updated to Spring. Projects Build file from Installshield and Visual Studio. However, when using MsBuild I get a popup message from MsBuild The program can't start because BECommonLib.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Msbuild then returns a -5056 error. My msbuild proj files calls The isproj file correctly details the 2012Spring InstallShield.targets file. The Installshield.targets file correctly details the InstallShieldPath variable C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2012Spring\System The System directory contains the BECommonLib.dll file. Any clues as to why I get this problem? Thanks, Adam ... View more

Hi, I am trying to set an everyone directory permission in the ProgramData\MyCompany\MyProduct directory. I am trying to use the Custom Installshield handling option of the Locked-Down Permissions with the "Apply Permissions to Child objects" set as I have a few files/folders in there. When I run the installer I get "The Wizard was interrupted before product could be compleletly installed" in the dialog. The log gives me Action ended 11:32:38: InstallValidate. Return value 1. MSI (s) (58:34) [11:32:38:309]: Doing action: ISLockPermissionsCost Action 11:32:38: ISLockPermissionsCost. Action start 11:32:38: ISLockPermissionsCost.

Hi, I have just upgraded a project to 2011. The change to the Option .NET tab is most welcome in that you can now define a location for the .NET Framework for both 32 and 64 bit. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for me. The only way I can get my 64bit Installer Class to use the 64bit InstallUtilLib is by setting a path to the 64bit Framework in both the 32bit and 64bit fields. Can anyone confirm this issue? My project is set to x64 so should be picking up that I need the 64bit Framework. The whole 32/64bit experience is not great in Installshield. We have a project that needs to be created for both 32 and 64 bit platforms - it is all perfectly possible - it's just too painful at the moment... configuration release flags, custom actions for setting ProgramFiles folders, .NET versions...
