Because of this it is not possible to hit Back button on the MSI dialogs to go back to the multi-instance dialog. It was necessary for this dialog to be displayed before beginning the MSI installation. This dialog location is similar to the setup.exe initialization dialog. Is there anyway to modify this dialog? we have requirement to rmeove or disable the Cancel button when Setup initialize, I configure the MSI to run in quite mode but still the SETUP dialog always initiated with cancel button on it. thanks, -Moin

DebbieL wrote: Roman1, why would you need to install InstallShield and the Standalone Build on the same machine? In the majority of cases, InstallShield is installed on a developer machine, and the Standalone Build is installed on a build server. If you want to automate quick test builds on your development machine, you can still use the ISCmdBld.exe command-line tool that is installed with InstallShield. The Standalone Build that is available with InstallShield 2011 does not require activation. However, it does require that you use either a license file (most commonly selected licensing option--this is used if you buy the traditional node-locked license) or you connect your machine to a license server (this option is called concurrent licensing). Assuming that you purchased a node-locked license of InstallShield, you also now get one or more node-locked licenses of the Standalone Build (depending on which edition of InstallShield you purchased). For information on how to obtain the installation of the Standalone Build and also generate the license file for the Standalone Build, see the following page: http://www.installshield.com/instructions/sab.asp This page has some background on Standalone Build licensing. It also has links to a PDF file that has detailed instructions. I hope that helps. Debbie: If it is Concurrent-licensing, so how many SAB it comes with? my assumption is with 3 concurrent licenses we can install 30 SAB on machines, 10 SAB for each Premiere IS, is that change with IS2011?

Hi, We recently upgraded our Basic MSI Installer from IS2009 Project to IS2010 Project, everything seems to be upgraded without any error or warning, the installer has extensive numbers of Virtual Directories for IIS6, the issue is during creating those Virtual Directories majority works fine but few of them cause problem while setting up the VD Path property, instead of setting up the path, installer write down the Directory Identifier name, for example the path is "C:\Program Files\MyApp" instead it write down "MyApp" which is the directory identifier, this is an serious issue as the installer didnt generate any runtime error, but installed application failed with this configuration issue. Is there any known issue? the same project works with IS2009. Any help is higly appreciated. thanks, -Moin Khan

If you were going to write a custom action, Installer class / InstallUtil would be the last pattern in the world I would suggest using. Checkout WiX DTF instead. But again, you don't need a CA...... http://blog.deploymentengineering.com/2006/07/msi-vs-net.html Thanks Christopher for replying to my post, but in my post I didnt mention that I am using any CA to install the service, I simply trying to use IS2008 feature to install the .Net service.

Its hard to believe that IS2008 has hard coded value for one framework.

I'm looking in the Custom Actions and Sequences view and have ISPreventDowngrage under UI and Execute.

Its working fine now, I did the following steps to make it work: I created two CA's of type 19, ISPreventDowngrade with UI/EXEC condition of ISFOUNDNEWERPRODUCTVERSION and another with ISPreventMaintenance with UI/EXEC condition Installed And REMOVE<>"ALL", both are scheduled after the FindRelatedProducts sequence. Then I created two Major Upgrade items in Upgrade view, MajorUpgrade with any earlier product version and Detect Only option select to No, and ISPreventDowngrade upgrade item with Detect Only setting set to Yes and property ISFOUNDNEWERPRODUCTVERSION with minimum version set to my current version of the product. This stop the installation of the product if its already installed and also stop the installation if the future version of the product already installed but start the Major Upgrade if older version is installed. Let me know if anyone looking for more information. Thanks Everyone!

RobertDickau wrote: I haven't tried it, but the RemoveExistingProducts action is what uninstalls the older product version, and there's a ForceReboot action that can reboot the system in the middle of installation and then restart it (with the help of the AFTERREBOOT property); perhaps some combination like that? Or could the services be stopped before RemoveExistingProducts runs? Thanks Robert for your help, I appreciate it. Here is how I use your tip to make it work: I added the AFTERREBOOT property in Property Manager and set the value to 0, then I added the ForceReboot CA after RemoveExistingProducts and InstallInitialize CA's with condition AFTERREBOOT<>1 And IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE="Yes" this seems to be working. -Moin
