Any thoughts, anyone??? I've been told to figure out how to fix this problem, but it seems specific to this environment..I haven't seen this behavior on other systems.

Thanks for the abort tip Michael, I'll try that. I do have Require Administrator set however due to how AD policies are handled here, the tech does not have local admin permissions on the workstation so simply Require Admin does not do the trick. Cesar

Hi There, Check this thread and see if it helps: http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=185018&page=2 These steps sometimes resolve the issue on machines I work with, but not always. You might also try seeing if it works with a local account, just as a troublshooting step.

I can give you the short version of it, there's too much code to paste in here as it took me a while. All I ended up doing was creating a new dialog using the editor, called it PreReq. Added a listbox to it, as well as the standard 'X's' and checkmarks that you see on these prerequisite boxes (signifying if something is installed or not). Once that was made, I did the following in my script: 1. Created a string list which will be used to populate the listbox 2. Created a routine to determine what is/what needs to be installed. Result was added to the string list regardless if it was already installed or not, just changed the wording (i.e. "MS XML 4.0 SP2 found" or "MS XML 4.0 SP2 needs to be installed"). Also set individual booleans to whether something 'found' was true or not. 3. I then called the DefineDialog function. Enabled/disabled the X's or checkmarks based on the booleans ("if XML is found display checkmark, else display red X") 4. called CtrlSetList, which displays the contents of the listbox. 5. this basically makes a 'passable' prereq dialog which customers can understand. 6. At this point if they click next I launch the installation of all of my prereqs. I display an SdShowMsg window ('now installing XML...') which closes once it's done installing. I also update the 'X' with a green checkmark in the prereq window and it moves on to the next prereq. It took a while and some trial and error, but that's it in a nutshell.

In the end, what I ended up doing in the Shortcut view is removing the file name that had been picked up before I built my project. My concern is that if InstallShield is picking up a random file to extract an icon for, even though a txt file should associate out to the standard txt icon. I shouldn't have to remember to do this every time I create a shortcut to a file that doesn't have an icon to go with it.

By comparing my IS2010 upgraded InstallScript project which gets the same L8407 errors, listed in this thread, to a IS2011 'new project', I found that adding the _ISSCRIPT_NEW_STYLE_DLG_DEFS to the Build/Settings/Processor Defines, that I then got a more helpful C8014 'identifier already defined' compile errors on the same two functions as well as several other variables. Double click on each error and commented out each line and then the project results in a clean upgraded IS2011 build. I did not find any documentation in the 'Whats new...' or the 'Upgrading a project..." documents related to this issue, and Flexera has not responded to my Gold Maintenance request (opened prior to finding this solution) for support yet.

I put some messaging in before the call to LaunchAppAndWait, the path is correct and does exist, but the program won't execute on Win2003, but does on Win2008. What I eventually did was deploy the script file that I wanted to execute to FOLDER_PERSONAL, and ran it from there, and now the CA works correctly on both OS. Thanks.

I have a bat file that retreives FileVer and ProductVer. It could easily be modified to do what you need and then call it from a CA. Let me know if you want to go that route.

Is there a way to get these messages to display in silent mode? Dennis (Originally in InstallShield 12 forum, but cross-posted here as well) You got two options.. 1. Whereever you are calling SdShowMsg, use inbuilt flag if (SilentMode - I think it is available for Installscript projects). 2. Build a wrapper around your installation and call SdShowMsg in the beginning and end. HTH

Ok, I found the file in question and copied it over to my local project folder giving it a new name. I found the code that invokes SdComponentDlgCheckSpace and commented that out and did a test run to verify that the disk space checking was being bypassed. Now I need to figure out how to do the disk space tests and get them to happen on my custom dialog. If anyone can provide assistance, feel free.
