Hello, I am converting an Installshield Installscript project from Installshield 2015 to 2022. It is all going very smooth but the result looks a bit different. It looks like the buttons at the bottom are too close to one another and the side of the button is not correctly displayed, this was not the case with Installshield 2015. License agreement dialog in Installshield 2022 As you can see the right border of the "Zurück" Button is not displayed, this is the same problem for all dialogs that contains the "previous" and "next" buttons, independently of the selected language (here in german). I thought this was a conversion problem so I recreated a Project from scratch with Installshield 2022 instead of converting my existing 2015 project but the result was the same. I am able to edit the dialogs under "User interface -> Dialogs" and add a single pixel space between the two buttons and the buttons are then correctly displayed. Since I do not want to rely on a custom look for all of my dialogs, in 9 languages, I wanted to know if someone knows of this problem and if there is a more general solution for it? Thank, Pierre ...

Hello community, I created an setup.exe installer from an advanced UI Project. I found the available command line parameters in Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI Setup.exe Command-Line Parameters but wanted to know if there is a possibility to add a help command that would list the available commands and would look something like this in the console: > Setup.exe -help Setup.exe v1.0.0 This is the help page for Setup.exe /debuglog The /debuglog parameter lets you generate a log file for Setup.exe. example: Setup.exe /debuglog"C:\PathToLog\setupexe.log" /language:LCID The /language parameter indicates that the installation should run in the specified language as specified. example: Setup.exe /language:1031 ... or would open a extra window, the form does not really matter. I simply need my customers to know what command-line parameters are available. Thanks, Pierre ... View more

Hello Community,   I am creating an Installer where I need to include external drivers from STM. The drivers are installed through calling an executable with os-specific .inf files. I created an Advanced UI project where the driver installation is associated to a Feature and it is working fine but I did not find a way to set the Detect Condition as I want it.   My way to check if the driver is installed is to look for the .inf file under C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\, the problem is, I cannot exactly say in which directory the file is, I know it is somewhere there but the exact name of the directoy seems to depend on some factors I do not know and therefore be different depending on your machine.   For that reason I cannot use the regular Installshield Package -> Detection Condition -> File exists since Installshield expects the exact directory. What I am trying to achieve is run an Installscript as OnBegin Event, inside it I would check the presence of the driver and set an Installshield Property, that will then be used as Detection Condition.   I thought of using the MsiGetProperty() and MsiSetProperty() functions but this is not possible for Advanced UI projects... Is there a way to access Advanced UI project Properties from Installscript? or a method to pass information from an Installscript to and Advanced UI project?   Many thanks,   Pierre ... View more

Hello, My objectives: I am trying to create an installation setup for a program I wrote. The complete installer must contain: the installer for my program (created in a Simple MSI Project) the driver installers (Third party Executables) some configuration files, that will be copied under AppData. The idea with the configuration file is that our customers will be able to change these files and deliver "updated" version of the installer to their customers (same binaries, new configuration files) by themselves, without me or someone else opening the InstallShield project and updating the installer or creating a patch -> less work The idea: I therefore created a Suite/Advanced UI Installation project with 1. and 2. as Packages and I want to handle 3. with an InstallScript Action, that would be triggered during installation of 1.. The InstallScript just need to search for a "Configurations" directory in the directory of the setup.exe and copy all of its content in AppData. I found this post How-to-find-current-directory-where-the-install-file-resides and what I need seems to be either SRCDIR or PACKAGE_LOCATION. The Problem: I also found in Working with an Action that Runs InstallScript Code in a Suite/Advanced UI Installation that I nstallScript run-time path variables (PROGRAMFILES, WINDIR, etc.) are not available  for a Suite Project, therefore I also tried to work with the properties I found in Advanced UI and Suite/Advanced UI Property Reference  . What I tried:   TextSubGetValue("<PROGRAMFILES>", svValue, FALSE, FALSE); SuiteLogInfo("<PROGRAMFILES>: %s", svValue); TextSubGetValue("<SRCDIR>", svValue, FALSE, FALSE); SuiteLogInfo("<SRCDIR>: %s", svValue); TextSubGetValue("<PACKAGE_LOCATION>", svValue, FALSE, FALSE); SuiteLogInfo("<PACKAGE_LOCATION>: %s", svValue); GetCurrentDir(svValue); SuiteLogInfo("GetCurrentDir(): %s", svValue); SuiteGetProperty("SETUPEXEDIR", svValue); SuiteLogInfo("SETUPEXEDIR: %s", svValue);   What I got: When I read the Logfile I get the following: I cannot get the Information I want from TextSubGetValue(), the SETUPEXEDIR property from SuiteGetProperty() gives me a temporary Directory back, also not what I want and I actually get the correct Directory from GetCurrentDir() but the GetCurrentDir documentation says I should rather use SRCDIR.  Questions: How can I safely get the Directory of the Setup.exe in a Suite / Advanced UI Project? Is there a better solution for my Problems? Many thanks, Pierre ... View more
