IS 2020 R3 Professional. On the InstallWelcome dialog, the image is welcome.jpg. It is all one image, there is no left side image that can be replaced. How to change this? I know that sometime in the past (some years past), I have done something like this, I cannot remember if it was WIX, or the IS Premier version. Does the Premier version work differently (and thus we would need to upgrade), in that this can be done? Or, in Professional does the entire .jpg file need to be replaced?

IS 2020 - MSI - Creating first Minor Upgrade. InstallShield documentation, ...Create a Minor Upgrade - Community (flexera.com) Says to create a new product configuration, and then a new release. If you want the setup.exe file to be named differently for a release, then possibly that would be a reason, but except for that, why do this instead of just using the same configuration\release that you have been using?

I changed the custom actions from "New EXE" to InstallScript LaunchApplication with SW_HIDE.

Being that the SetupCompleteSuccess dialog appears after Installfinalize in the execute sequence, the custom actions were being run in immediate execution mode. When they were removed from the dialog, and put in the execute sequence, before the InstallFinalize, they needed to be changed to deferred execution, else the exe's that they were trying to execute, were not yet installed.

IS 2021 R3 I did not write this install. Currently when the user selects the "finish' button on the SuccessfullyCompleted dialog, it kicks off a number of 'New EXE', installed with product, exe's. It works fine. The only thing is that when the user clicks on the 'finish' button, you would normally expect the install to be completed. In this case the exe's that are kicked off, they open cmd windows, so you can definitely see that the install is not finished. I removed those custom actions from the dialog, and placed then in the Execute sequence, just before the 'InstallFinalize'. Now for whatever reason, the Installdir is not created, so the custom actions do not find the exe's to execute, and the install fails. Now sure how this could be happening (I am not new at this).

IS 2021 'New EXE' custom actions pointing to files installed with the product. 'Command line' currently contains 'install', or 'uninstall'. When the custom action executes, cmd windows appear. Is there a way to suppress these cmd windows with an addition option on the command line, or, do I need to select a different type of custom action to execute these exe's?

IS 2021 MSI. We have a x64 installer. We want to do a minor upgrade. When creating the release, do we have to create a 64-bit setup launcher or can we say 'NO' to that? Problem is that the custom actions are written in Installscript, and you get an error when trying to create the release if you say 'Yes' to the 64-bit option. On this page...Building 64-Bit Setup Launcher (revenera.com) - look for " ISDEV: fatal error -7371: InstallScript custom actions are not supported with 64-Bit Setup Launcher.". I am reading this as "if install is x64, then for a minor upgrade, you must choose 'yes', to the 64 bit launcher option, and thus...I need to rewrite the custom actions in anything but InstallScript.

I want to allow Administrators full access to the Install folder and contents. Nobody else is to be allowed to access or even see the contents of the install folder. I had set Administrator to full control, and users are denied everything. I am having problems when uninstalling, deleting the folder, etc. Did I set this up correctly?

IS 2020R3, MSI dialog, Checkbox at top is defaulted to checked. User enters text in edit box. User changes mind, unchecks checkbox, does not want to do what entering data will do. Yes, I can disable the edit box, but I also want to clear the edit box. I have tried Event\Doaction\ SetProperty on the property associated with the edit box), on both the checkbox, and the edit box, SetProperty 1, PROPERTYNAME associated with the edit box, Value {}. The value of the edit box does not change. What the heck?

Taking over a MSI installer from someone else. They were using InstallScript for the custom actions. Need to validate user entry of a LOCAL account name and password (no domain is used). Not sure if this can be done in InstallScript. If not can you point me to Vbscript, shell, whatever. Thanks
