Hi, thanks for the tip, but the count is set to 1. so it shall be uninstalled. But it is not. See the screenshot created right after the installation. When I perform uninstall, the records are removed from the registry entry, but the files are kept in System32 folder. I tested it on 3 machines, 1 with Windows 7 32 bit, 1 with Windows 10 32bit and 1 with Windows 10 64bit. On the 64bit version the files are removed from SySWoW64 folder. Those machines are virtualized, so I start every test with clear machine. I believe this could be issue with some redirection during installation, but I dont know much about this. Lukas ...

Hi, I have basic msi installshield 2019 project. This project installs few files into System32 folder. It works fine, it installs directly into System32 on Windows 7/10 32bit version and into SysWOW64 on Windows 7/10 64bit. All files are marked as NOT permanent in project and they are removed on 64bit version of Windows. They are NOT removed during uninstall on 32bit version of Windows. The setup of project shall use variable [SystemFolder] to distribute the component and feature. Do you know what could be the issue?? Lukas ... View more

During setup of the project, I have drag and dropped the registry values from build machine. Because I have dropped the parent key, it contained the Default key too. This default key was the reason the registry were overwritten and not working. ... View more

Hi,  no, the file is registered during installation, I should write that it is done during installation, after moving files. I did some testing and I found out how to install the audio codec manually and if I do that, the basic MSI project works too. Steps to test it: Start clean installation of Windows (virtual machine). Copy G723A32.ACM file into C:\Windows\System32 Create Registry entry to register codec file: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32 msacm.g723a32acm=g723a32.acm Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc g723a32.acm=G723 ADPCM Audio CODEC These steps install the audio file. I did all of these, then I removed these steps from my installshield basic msi project and I built the app without installation of audio codec. Then I installed this new build on the test machine with manually installed audio codec and it works just fine. So the issue seems to be in BASIC MIS project type and replicating these steps. Can you help me? Lukas ... View more

Installing Audio Codec with Basic MSI project type.

I have basic msi projet, that shall install audio codec G723A32 using G723A32.ACM file. This requires simply to distribute the file into target computer system folder (System32) and create two registry entry. The Audio codec shall be registered after installation and some additional registry entry shall be created into Microsoft node. But this is not happening when I use Basic MSI project type, it only happens when I use the Installscript project type. It seems like the Basic MSI has some limitation in rights (like admin rights). Both project are setup to run as Administrator, but still, one does not work. I tried the same thing with InstallScript project type and it worked just fine. I dont know why? What is the different between Basic MSI and InstallScript? How can I make my Basic MSI project to work? There is no dependency on other components/features.     ‎ I did some testing and I found out how to install the audio codec manually and if I do that, the basic MSI project works too.
