InstallShield 2011. I contacted Flexera and received an activation response. Using TSConfig.exe, as others have done, I was able to add the response, with a successful activation message. The software will not activate. I have activated the software several times. 1. Start InstallShield: 2. Select “REactiavate InstallShield”, and then click “Next” 3. Click “Proceed with offline activation” 4. Click “Next”, dialog appears that shows the software has been successfully activated; however, I cannot start the software. Totally stuck. Any ideas

Yes, I can create a database with the same credentials in SSMS. I am logged in as the local machine admin, and I have logged into SSMS as the user "sa".

I have a SQL Connection with the option to "Create Catalog If Absent" checked. The catalog does not exist. When running the install, I use Windows Auth and/or SQL Auth and it fails with the error: Error 27552. Error creating database ***. Server: Microsoft SQL Server (local). CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors. (1802). I know the credentials are good, because if I choose a db catalog that exists, there is no error, no problem. I cannot figure out a way around this.

I'm trying to do something very basic with the text replacement in my SQL Script. The script starts with use [CatalogName] I'm replacing "[CatalogName]" with "[IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE]", but it's not working - it doesn't get replaced. What am I doing wrong here?

The referenced KB article does not help. It doesn't walk you through step-by-step on how to get a shortcut to a URL. Ajay Ladsaria wrote: Windows Installer does not have native support for Internet shortcuts, and for this reason, there isn't a good way of creating one in the InstallShield Shortcuts view. Instead you should consider either including the Internet Shortcut URL file as a raw file or using the Ini File Changes view to create an Internet Shortcut. Here is a KB article that should be helpful: Q105380: INFO: Creating an Internet Shortcut http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalID=Q105380

I found out that I needed to make my property name all uppercase: DATA_DIRECTORY, so that the value, which is set in the UI sequence, would be available in the exec sequence.

Basic MSI project. With InstallScript (or any other way) how do I get the value of a field in a dialog so that I can put that value into the registry? 1. I have a field that holds the path of where the user wants the data files to go. 2. I created a property called "Data_Directory" in the Property Manager. 3. I've created a script that will take the value of "Data_Directory" and put it into the registry, however, the value is always the default that is set in the Property Manager. What sequence do I need to use? Right now #3 is called after InstallInitialize.

Basic MSI Project with IS 2011, using the SQLLogin dialog I want to take the values entered and put them in the system registry. I have an InstallScript .rul file with a function that attempts to use the following. The script is deferred, synchronous, and runs after InstallInitialize: sServer = ""; sDB = ""; sUser = ""; sPassword = ""; sAuth = ""; nSize = MAX_PATH; MsiGetProperty( ISMSI_HANDLE, "IS_SQLSERVER_SERVER", sServer, nSize ); nSize = MAX_PATH; MsiGetProperty( ISMSI_HANDLE, "IS_SQLSERVER_DATABASE", sDB, nSize ); nSize = MAX_PATH; MsiGetProperty( ISMSI_HANDLE, "IS_SQLSERVER_USERNAME", sUser, nSize ); nSize = MAX_PATH; MsiGetProperty( ISMSI_HANDLE, "IS_SQLSERVER_PASSWORD", sPassword, nSize ); nSize = 10; MsiGetProperty( ISMSI_HANDLE, "IS_SQLSERVER_AUTHENTICATION", sAuth, nSize ); if (sAuth = "1") then bWinAuth = FALSE; else bWinAuth = TRUE; endif; MessageBox ("sServer="^sServer^" sDB="^sDB^" sUser="^sUser^" sPassword="^sPassword, INFORMATION); The values returned are all blank. I've tried using CustomActionData, to no avail. Seems like it should be so easy, but is a total pain.
