Thank you. I have never used MsiProcessMessage(). Can you tell me how to use MsiProcessMessage() in Basic MSI project? I need to display a MessageBox with a caption , main message string and an information icon to end user.

Hello All, I have a basic MSI project. During uninstallation, the first MessageBox is always going behind uninstallation progress window. Kindly let me know how to resolve this issue? Is this a known issue\bug of InstallShiled? Thanks

Hello All, I found the root cause for the uninstallation issue in my case. The reason is 'OnBegin' event is triggered twice during maintenance uninstallation. Firstly it will be called by script code of upgraded build.And here if( MAINTENANCE ) code part is executed as expected. Again, 'OnBegin' will be called by script code of already existing build where if( ! MAINTENANCE ) code is executed, which is causing problem in my case.Because, in if( ! MAINTENANCE ), I'm checking for a registry entry and if it exists, I'm aborting the installation process. So can anyone tell me why 'OnBegin' of already existing build's script code is called second time and how to avoid this?.If it is avoided then the problem will be solved. Thanks.

Hello All, Recently I converted a Installscript project, which was earlier built using developer 7.02, to installshield 2015. And the product,package and upgrade codes remains same. Problem is that I installed the product using setup.exe, which was built from Developer 7.02. Now, if I uninstall that using setup.exe built from Installshield 2015(i.e.,maintenance uninstallation), following error occurs: 1) GetInstallDriver, Can not find InstallDriver in ROT table, Return Code = 0x800401e3 2) ISMsiServerStartup Failure, Failed to RegisterMsiServer, Error = 0x80004004 3) MsiServerStartup failed. Abort installation..CustomAction ISMsiServerStartup returned actual error code 1603 but will be translated to success due to continue marking. Uninstallation aborts by displaying error "1603". Does error occurs for the reason that "MAINTENANCE"(should I have to change this property to "_IsMaintenance"?) property is not set to true?If not, what might be the possible reasons for the above error? Kindly help me out. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. - What are you attempting to apply permissions to (file, folder, registry)? Is this a 64-bit or 32-bit resource? It is a 32-bit empty folder. - Is this resource installed through a component or some other means (such as a custom action)? Installed through a component - Are there any validation errors with this MSI package related to the resource or components in the package? NO. - Can you attach a verbose log of an installation that encounters this error? Installation aborted.As it is a installation from server to client ,I didn't get log file in "Temp" folder Under Windows "Temp" folder,log file contains only the error description.

Hello All, I'm using installshield 2015,basic MSI project. A component's file permission is set using "Permissions" button in its properties dialog and also Locked-down Permission is set to "Custom Installshield Handling". During installation of product from server to client,error "Error 27555.Error attempting to apply permissions to object "File path".System error: The system cannot find the file specified.(2)" in the event log i) occurs when feature /features that doesn't contain this component are installed. ii) doesn't occur when all the features(feature which include this component also) are installed. Also if I change Locked-down Permission to "Traditional windows Installer Handling",error will not occur in any above mentioned cases. So why it happens only in case(i) mentioned above? Anyone,please help me out. Thanks in advance.
