This particular script is a simple installer that is shelled from another package for installing SMO. The other installer is an older product that is not InstallShield, so bringing in SMO this way is simple and has worked for us for years. regards, - Paul - Paul Vestuto DMAXX, LLC Phone: 847 234-4969, ext 120 Direct: 847 423-6719 Email: Paul@DMAXX.COM From: Flexera Community > Sent: Monday, April 22, 2019 9:40 AM To: Paul Vestuto > Subject: Re: InstallShield 2019 Premier Shortcuts (Community Subscription Update) Hi MrInstall47, Jenifer posted a new reply in InstallShield Forum on Apr 22, 2019 09:39 AM: ________________________________ Re: InstallShield 2019 Premier Shortcuts Hi MrInstall47, The error has effect only if you had opted for APPX/MSIX via Releases view in your previous project file as described here: https://helpnet.flexerasoftware.com/installshield24helplib/helplibrary/ReleaseGridWindowsAppTab.htm else it has to work perfectly fine for Basic MSI just like before.

Jenifer, Are MSI installs gone for good, and everything is MSIX now? If MSIX is all there is, then your first bullet item says a shortcut is mandatory which would be a dead end for anyone not needing a shortcut. I need to do some more reading on MSIX. Our customers still use Windows Server 2008,[R2]. Hopefully, the new format is backward compatible with these older operating systems. I can provide a script for you. Can you give me an email address so I am not posting the script in to the forum? thank you. - Paul -

After upgrading to InstallShield 2019 Premier, I am getting the following error on several of our MSI scripts: ISDEV : error -9572: This package contains no shortcuts defined for the application. Applications are usually necessary to define the entry point into the MSIX/Appx app. Some of our install scripts simply install 'embedded' application (for example, a GAC assembly) and have no need for shortcuts. How do you indicate that a shortcut is not needed? - Paul -

Project Type: Basic MSI Issue: Files going into wrong folder when destination folder changed Our product needs to have files deployed into separate folders. For some components, destination is: {BIN1}[INSTALLDIR]Bin For some components, destination is: {FIXSTORE}[INSTLLDIR]Fixstore At one of our customer site, changed the destination folder(INSTALLDIR) from C:\Program Files\TheBooks\ to D:\TheBooks\ BIN1 property gets updated and files get copied correctly. FIXSTORE property is not updated to D:\TheBooks\FixStore\, it’s still pointing to C:\Program Files\TheBooks\FixStore\ and the files are going into wrong destination folder. Here is the extract from log file where FIXSTORE property value is still 'C:\Program Files\TheBooks\FixStore' MSI (c) (5C:38) [12:22:53:013]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ROOTDRIVE property. Its value is 'D:\'. ….. ….. MSI (c) (5C:38) [12:22:53:028]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding FIXSTORE property. Its value is 'C:\Program Files\TheBooks\FixStore'. MSI (c) (5C:38) [12:22:53:028]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding BIN1 property. Its value is 'D:\TheBooks\Bin'. Attached is the log file for reference. Please let us know why the FIXSTORE property was not getting updated when the INSTALLDIR property changed. Thank you.

Obviously this question has come up before or it would not be documented with such specific wording. "There's no way to suppress only the second option, and keep the first. Even if the feature has no sub features, Windows Installer displays the variant "this feature, and all sub features" of the install local option." I would suggest to attempt to get this on the nice-to-have list for the next version. The easier we can make our customer's lives, the better for all of us. - Paul -
