We just ran into this issue as well after upgrading to InstallShield 2011. Asking end users to turn off UAC is not a viable option. Are there any other workarounds or changes that can be made. We did not have this issue before upgrading to InstallShield 2011 (we were previously using InstallShield 12). I didn't see anyone from InstallShield reply to this thread after it was revealed this appears to be an issue related to UAC. I would be nice to get some response from InstallShield on this issue. Thanks, Shane

You can use the System Search feature to read the values from the config file that you don't want to change. The MSI properties you set with the System Search would then be used to set the values in the config file. You are still setting every value in the config file via the XML File Changes, but the ones you do not want to change you read from the existing config file prior to setting the values. We do this with one of our installations.

We ran into the issue in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905238 and ultimately decided to install a private copy of the assembly in the application's installation directory instead of installing it to the GAC. I have never run into this issue with files installed anywhere else.

Is this a Basic MSI project? I may not fully understand your question but is sounds like you have set a feature to required but you want to user to be able to choose not to install the feature. If the feature is optional then the required property should be set to "No". As long as the InstallLevel for the feature is less than the value of the INSTALLLEVEL property then it will be selected by default, but the user will have the option to deselect it.

Would you really want the commercial and trial version installed on the same system at the same time? Maybe I am misunderstanding your question, but I wouldn't think you would want to install the trial if the commercial version is installed. If the trial is installed and a user upgrades to the commercial version I would expect the trial version to be removed. As to your question. You only need to set shared to Yes if the files in the component are installed by an installer other than Windows Installer. In other words, Windows Installer handles file sharing for components with the same component ID. The shared setting is available for compatibility with other installation tools. I think the message you are receiving is because you have this component marked as shared (this message should only be a warning and shouldn't prevent you from continuing the uninstall). When you refer to the "overwrite" property I assume you mean the "never overwrite" property. Typically you should leave the "never overwrite" property set to "No" especially if the component contains versioned files. Even if the component contains non-versioned files you typically wouldn't set this property to "Yes". Why did you set this property to "Yes"?

MSI property values are recorded in the MSI log file unless the property is listed in the SecureCustomProperties property. You don't have to do anything special for the value of the property to be written to the log. If you are not seeing your property in the log file you may need to change your log settings.

We have a Basic MSI InstallShield project and I would like to be able to change the Text value of an Edit control when the state of a checkbox control on the same dialog is changed. For example, when a checkbox is selected/checked I want to clear the value in the edit control or when a checkbox is unselected/unchecked I want to set the value of the edit control back to a default value. It appears that I change the value of a property when a checkbox control is selected or unselected. This property that is changed is the same property that is specified for the edit control but the change to the property is not reflected in the edit control. Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying to do? Thanks, Shane
