Hi I think the point is that the REINSTALLMODE and REINSTALL parameters need to be passed in by the setup.exe. Because if I set these directly in the MSI properties, the setup will not install anything if the application is not yet installed. As I read somewhere, it is the setup.exe which determines whether an app is already installed or not and passes in these parameters accordingly. However, I doubt that the Limited Edition can do this, as I cannot set these properties inside the Limited Edition installer. That limits me quite a bit as well, as I am obviously not able to build a setup with LE that will install correctly the first time and use REINSTALL for updates, without uninstalling everything first. Having lost many hours on this, I will now take a look at other manufacturers and maybe buy something there. ... View more

The thing is that I find no way to pass command line parameters to the MSI which gets installed inside MyProjectSetup.exe. Is there any way to do this with the Limited Edition, maybe any trick inside a configuration file? Or do I have to buy the Express edition, and would that support it? Kind Regards - Peter ...

Hi I am trying to upgrade over an existing installation without removing old files with InstallShield Limited Edition 2015, and I found that the behavior mentioned here does not (no longer?) apply, obviously. I am doing the following: - changing product code - changing product version If I also set an upgrade path, the old version gets uninstalled, hence deleting the configuration files. If I don't, it works but I have the application showing up twice in "Programs and Features". In earlier versions I used to use REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL, but this option seems not to be available in the limited edition. Are there any other options to reinstall over an existing installation so that the previous installation doesn't get uninstalled? Thank you and Kind Regards ... View more
