The resulting path would be: custom_path/my_appended_folder/my_product_install_folder/ I figured out how to do this, but was surprised to find out via the log file that there were many internal properties containing the install path I did not know about that also had to be modified. When my first install failed to install everything in the appended folder, I found in the install log many other paths being setup to what looked like feature or component named properties. Once I added code to modify all the ones in the log file, the next install worked as expected.

Just a note of warning about updating InstallShield 2015 IDE. A couple of days ago, I updated my InstallShield 2015 premier IDE with service pack 2. It turns out when you do that you also have to update any build machines with the standalone install for service pack 2 as well. Our build engineer looked into an issue that popped up on our Jenkins build server; he compared two MSI project files, one that worked for digital signing and the newer one that did not. He found that after updating the IDE to service pack 2, a new parameter "?auto" is appended to the path to the certificate to use for signing. After updating the Jenkins build server with the standalone service pack 2, the standalone build started working again on the project file with the newly added parameter.

I am an admin on our account so I can return licenses that were generated by anyone in our company. I hope that helps Chad Thanks, I found the help PDF on the subject and returned our license yesterday. I should check the help first I guess rather than post. I am currently waiting on our service desk to provide a permanent IP and MAC for the new VM so it won't change on us. 🙂

The default is "Dependencies and Properties" which can cause the resulting MSI to include extra things beyond what you know you authored. It's one thing to try, at least. That would be my top suspect sort of loosely based on what you are describing. Chad Thank you Chad, this resolved our issue with the random error messages. I installed and uninstall several times on a machine that always displayed errors before and now it is clean. No more errors. Thank you for your fast and accurate resolution to our issue.

To change the attributes of your existing components, you can use the ISWiComponent automation interface object. Set the Attrib64BitComponent property to True to have a component registered as 64-bit. If you want to create new 64-bit components automatically, you may want to consider evaluating the new ability introduced in InstallShield 2016 that enables you set the default value used for component attributes. Here is the description from the InstallShield 2016 Release Notes: Ability to Set the Default Value Used for Component Attributes Support for a new property has been added to the InstallShield table that lets you set the default value used for component attributes. If a property of MsiComponentAttributes exists in the InstallShield table, its value overrides the default Attributes column value in the Component table from 8 to whatever is specified. For example, to make new components 64-bit, add 256 to the MsiComponentAttributes value. You can specify 264 (for 64-bit shared) or optionally enter 256 (for 64-bit unshared). In doing so, the 64-Bit Component setting and Shared settings (shown on the in the General area of the Components view) will be updated to Yes or No accordingly. For more information about the bit values used in calculating the Attributes column of the Component table, refer to the Component Table page in the MSDN Library. Note: To set the default value used for component attributes, the MsiComponentAttributes property must be updated manually in the InstallShield table in the Direct Editor of each project. The Template Summary setting for a product configuration is ignored for this use case.

My solution to this was to add a yes/no confirmation dialog on the cancel button for the custom action explaining the situation. i.e. the install can not continue... if you answer yes, the install will be canceled and a rollback will occur... a 1722 error will be displayed next, click ok. The text wasn't exactly like this but you get the idea.

In InstallShield editor go to Installation Information -> General Information, then on the right side "Add or Remove Programs" and define your "Display Icon" Hope it is clear now. regards Markus
