I recently upgraded from InstallShield 2015 Express to InstallShield 2016 Express. When I try to build the file without any changes I get the error: The English (United States) value for string "ID_STRING44" does not contain a legitimate value for table Shortcut column Name. Error Code -7354 The file builds fine under 2015 but not 2016. Any idea what ID_STRING44 is referring to?? ... View more

For my application, the user must have the most current Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installed on their computer. In the "Requirements" section of InstallShield it has the option to check for Adobe Reader 10 or Reader 9.0 but these are the older versions that will not work. So, my questions are: 1) how do I edit or create the requirement for Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (not Acrobat Reader 10)? I know that if I "right click" the requirement, then there is an option to "Create a New" requirement but this was too technical for me - just did not know how to proceed. 2) Is there a way to ensure that Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is set as the default application?? The problem I have run into is that when users upgrade to Windows 10, it automatically changes their default PDF viewer from Reader to Microsoft Edge. So, even if Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is installed and passes the requirements check, the user still cannot open my product because their system is set to open the PDF with Edge not Reader. When I get the tech support call, it only takes a few minutes to explain how to change the default to Reader but this is a huge waste of time. 3) If the user does NOT have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, is there a way to display or redirect them to the Adobe website to download? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ... View more

Is there a way to designate a custom name for the Single Image Setup.exe file? For example, instead of the build creating a Setup.exe, is there a way to build a unique setup filename like D12345.exe? I have hundreds of installation files and all need unique stepup filenames. Currently I have to build each one to Setup.exe and then remain each one manually. It would be soooooo much easier if Installshield would build it directly to the filename needed. Any help would be greatly, I mean greatly, appreciated. David ... View more
