Well not actaully. If my install is patched, the readme does not show. Err I can't believe no one out there has a readme file they show after install that doesn't want shown when uninstalled by running setup.exe again. Wow that really tells me no one is using this software or this forum and it's time to use Wix.

My application requires .Net 3.5. I have checked the 3.5 web download prerequisite. On XP, Vista, Server 2003, and Server 2008 the install works as expected. That is, if .Net 3.5 is not installed, the installer automatically installs .Net 3.5 but on Servrer 2008 R2 if the Application Server role is missing the install just keeps on running untimately failing while attempting to start my applications services (which require .Net). I have written a VBScript which checks for the Application Server Role but that really just seems like a work around. Has anyone been able to get InstallShield to work as it should using a more direct workaround? One thing to note. If I check .Net 3.5 as a required component, the installer detects that .Net 3.5 is missing. The problem is the install just bails at that point. So if I used this method all my users would be required to manually download and install .Net not just my Server 2008 R2 customers.

Still looking for an answer. I have written a VB script that checks the Win32_ServerFeature class for a particular name, however this leads to an internationaliztion question. Is the Application Server Role name the same on all internationalized versions of Windows? On an Italian machine is the name still Applicaiton Server Role or is it Ruolo server applicazioni? Does anyone know?

If I set the OK button DoAction event condition to LAUNCHREADME And Not Installed I get the desired results...at least with the testing I did.

I have added a readme file to the setupsuccess dialog using the IS_LAUNCH_MY_README_PLEASE custom action along with the appropriate propreties: LAUNCHREADME 1 SHOWLAUNCHREADME -1 If I run an uninstall by executing the setup.exe file (rather than through Add/Remove programs) the install launches notepad with an empty document and an error is throw stating the readme can't be found. However, if I uninstall via Add/Remove Programs the readme is not opened as desired. How can I fix the uninstall when executed by running the setup.exe?

Ok. I have 2 installs now. What is the technique for stopping the 32 bit version from installing over the 64 bit version...and visa-a-versa.

I've got 2 install projects for the same product. Right now they have the same product code, although I can change them if I need to. My question is this. How do I stop the 32-bit version from over installing the 64-bit version and possibly vis-a-versa? I think I want, however; the 64-bit version to uninstall the 32-bit version if found. Seems the later is easy as I can just change my product code.

If I set the Destination to ProgramFiles64Folder, the files are installed in the root of that location. Here's the deal, I need the files installed in the default location, if the user wants to specify another location, so be it. Using the value [INSTALLDIR] always puts the files in Program Files (x86). On a side note, marking a component 64-bit seems very unproductive. I thought the whole idea of creating a single project for multiple platforms was so it was easy. How is this easy if I have to duplicate all 30 .Net components I have, one for 32-bit the other for 64-bit?

I already tried that. The files are still installed in the wrong location.

So all I need to do is add a minor upgrade? If I run a build every night with a new build number do I only need to point to the previous build one time? What happens when I remove old builds from my build machine? What does 'NoObjectSetupPath' mean?

Doesn't a minor upgrade require the previous installation to uninstall?

I re-compiled the DLL and gave it a new name. Still the same problem. It seems I can not add any component without the installer failing. I am pretty sure in the past I have added DLLs to existing projects without issue. Maybe they were added using the dependency scanner. In my case this is not an option becuase I have to explicitly leave a dependent DLL out.

Per the the file I created a simple MSI project that installs a single .Net exe file. I have created a release and set the Template Summary to x64. After I build the release the files are installed in Program Files (x86). Next I tried setting the General Information | Template Summary to x64;1033. Still the files are installed in the x86 directory. What am I doing wrong?
