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). ... View more

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. ...

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 ... View more
