Even if my original goal has been achieved (answered by Markus Latz), I am still interested in how to pass a value with spaces to the setup via PowerShell. For instance, this didn't work: .\MySetup.exe /RabbitMQ_DbPath=`"C:\Databases and Logs\Database\`" ... View more

We need to check the current version of python installed, which I am getting using "python --version" command output from powershell custom action and installing the python in the INSTALLDIR\python folder. To get the INSTALLDIR, we can't keep it in the prereq section as user can change the folder in the UI screen of msi. And this process is giving the 1618 error. Can you provide basic overview on how to create this in SUITE project, as I didn't find any proper resources to get started. ... View more

Sure, use the default settings at step 7 "Local system account" and modify later. To modify later in the setup, you can also use the properties of the NT service object, see the help file ... prototype SetUserForNT_Service(STRING, STRING) /* Function definition: */ function SetUserForNT_Service(szUser, szPwd) OBJECT oObject; begin try set oObject = GetObject("My NT Service"); if (!IsObject(oObject)) then MessageBox( "Failed to get object reference.", INFORMATION ); abort; endif; oObject.DomainUserName = szUser; oObject.Password = szPwd; catch Sprintf( szStatus, "Unexpected Exception\n\nNumber: 0X%X\nDescription:" + "%s\nSource: %s\nHelp File: %s\nHelp Context: %d", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpFile, Err.HelpContext); MessageBox( szStatus, SEVERE ); abort; endcatch; end; This is just a modified sample from NT Services object help, not tested !! regards Markus ...

Hi @SpiderLily1,    Please check the InstallShield KB article and hotfix installer for the VC++ 2019 restart issue. https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallShield-Knowledge-Base/InstallShield-VC-2019-Prerequisite-restart-the-machine-after-the/ta-p/192356 ... View more

Properties are read by the Windows Installer from the Properties table during the runtime of the installer. This isn't an action that can be performed when Installshield builds the project. When installshield builds your project it reads the information from the ISString table to populate the Summary Information Stream values - as this is a build action any properties wouldn't be able to be validated here. ...

Hello, I want to thank @MarkusLatz who helped me a lot. He solved the problem with the use of signtool.exe. I use IS to build the installpackage. Then I use (on my new computer) signtool.exe to sign and timestamp. So, it is not that digicert does not timestamp anymore, or whatever I read in the last weeks. It seems that IS "canceld" the timestamp-function for the older versions like mine (2012). I can sign with SHA1 and also with SHA256 with my certificate I use for signing. And this is the same as I use when IS runs. So, again @MarkusLatz solved my problem. many thanx. Harald ... View more

Thanks again Dan!  However, I looked in the Behavior and Logic section and didn't see the setup files which use the path variable in my ealier search. I'll continue to look around.  If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. ... View more

You could use a "System Search" to check if the keys/values exists and store that in a property. And use the property/result in a condition in your component. regards Markus ... View more
