I want to set a condition in my Suite Installer so that the installation exits if the user is not an administrator. Does anyone have any experience with this? Many Thanks in Advance!

Hi Folks, I have an InstallShield Suite Project that installs 3 applications. Let's call them: Package 1 Package 2 Package 3 During the GUI installation, I can select which packages to install. However, during the silent installation, using the command "setup.exe /silent", all 3 packages get installed. Specifically, I would like the silent installation to install only "Package 1" and "Package 2". Does anyone know how to do this? Are there command line parameters that can be entered with the command "setup.exe /silent"? Changes to the project itself? I'm probably missing something in the documentation, so any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Billy

OK Thanks! I thought that was the case, but figured I'd ask anyway.

Hi, No, file1 is different. It is an exe file. Both files are versioned. file1 in the new package has a newer version. Thanks

I have a product installed on a machine. It has the following component (and files): component1 ----file1 (keyfile) ----file2 ----file3 I have an newer version of the product that has the same component without the non-key files: component1 ----file1 (keyfile) After upgrade, file2 & file3 are still on the machine. Is it possible to fix this? NOTE: Action "RemoveExistingProducts" is run after action "InstallFinalize" in this case. Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can use [INSTALLDIR] because, at the prereq run time, [INSTALLDIR] has not been defined yet. You need to use one of the four documented paths: [CommonFilesFolder] [ProgramFilesFolder] [SystemFolder] or [WindowsFolder] if you are looking for a specific file on the machine. Alternatively, you can use a registry entry (if present) to set the path of the file you are looking for. See the "Conditions Tab InstallShield 2008 » Setup Prerequisite Editor" reference for further info.

As a follow up, I wanted to post my solution. As I indicated, [ProgramFiles64Folder] doesn't work on IS 2008 and I did not have the option of moving to IS 2010. After some trial and error, the following worked: [ProgramFilesFolder]..\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\KeyFile\1033\sqlncli_keyfile.dll Since [ProgramFilesFolder] evaluates to "Program Files (x86)" on 64 bit Windows OSs, backing up one directory and including the path from there seems to work fine. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Thanks Everyone, Although I have posted under IS2010, I am actually using IS2008, without the option of upgrading at this time. I have also posted under IS2008. Billy

Thanks, Tried that, doesn't work. [ProgramFiles64Folder] doesn't seem to be supported in the setup prereq instance.

Hi Folks, Can anyone give me direction on how to create a Setup Prerequisite condition on Windows X64 operating systems in which "a file with a certain version exists" and the path is as follows: [ProgramFilesFolder]Microsoft SQL Server\100\KeyFile\1033\sqlncli_keyfile.dll The problem is that [ProgramFilesFolder] evaluates to "C:\Program Files (x86)" on Winodws X64 and I the file I am looking for is in "C:\Program Files" The supported path variables are [CommonFilesFolder], [ProgramFilesFolder], [SystemFolder], and [WindowsFolder] which doesn't help. Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
