Hi All, Is there any way to install the old driver, if new driver is already installed in the system during a driver upgrade? If installer version is 1.2.3.4, and I would like to install/upgrade new driver with 1.2.1.4 version. Please let me know how to handle this case. Best Regards, Raj

Hi All, I have created a driver installer for my device (Driver contains .inf, .sys, .cat and other .bin files). And installed it successfully. Now I want to upgrade the driver (Latest version of .inf file version is less than the previous .inf file, but its time stamp is latest). OS first checks the .inf time stamp and then .inf version. If time stamp is latest .inf file though .inf version is older, OS allows the installation, but we don't have a time stamp check in installer. Here is an issue, and I need some help on this. I installed driver with 1.2.3.4 version, but now I would like to install the driver with 1.2.0.4(But this .inf has the latest time stamp). Installer is not allowing me to do so, throwing error like, A later version is already installer and click Ok to exit the installation. Please let me know, how to handle this scenario.

Hi All, Project type: Basic MSI Requirement: Add ForceReboot standard Action if driver is not installed properly. I'm using Basic MSI project for my driver installation. I would like to execute ForceReboot standard action conditionally. The conditions available are related to Installer. But I would like to execute based on custom action script return values. Please suggest how to execute. Thanks, Raj

Hi, Project Type : Basic MSI Installation : Network driver installation Replication steps. 1. Installed driver with Installshield Setup.exe(Installshield 2011 Premier Edition). 2. Uninstalled manually from device manager. 3. Tried re-installation with silent installation. And driver was not installed. I had checked the execution sequences of standard actions/custom actions installer MSI log and MaintenanceWelcome action was missed during silent installation. Is there any alternative method to overcome this issue? Best Regards, Raj

Dear Ian, Thanks for the inputs. I'm clear on your inputs. I'm not asking about installer requirements. Can't we achieve this without windows batch file? Can't we achieve this within the installer itself. My requirements is, There will be encrypted .ini file which has hardware ID. I have a script to decrypt and read the contents of that. I have 2 options, #1 Integrate the script with Installer and then read return code from script and take a decision on installation(To proceed/ To stop). #2 Installer itself decrypt and decode the .ini contents and validates contents and take a decision on installation. Please do suggest the best way to achieve this. Best Regards, Raj

Hi Team, I have a requirement to execute setup.exe conditionally. Before running setup.exe, I'd like to run a script which validates presence of the hardware. If expected hardware is present in system, script returns success otherwise it will returns failure. The setup.exe suppose to run for successful return status from application and it should stop for failure status. Please let me know how to achieve this. Best Regards, Raj

Hello Team, I have created a project for installing a device driver(Network driver). After un-installing the driver, driver files are still existed in driver folders. I'm using a custom app to delete those. Project template is Basic MSI project. Question 1# Is there any way to delete the driver files automatically with installer itself? Question 2# After installing the driver, driver is not loading automatically. Currently I'm doing it with custom action script. Is there any option to do it automatically with installer itself(without reboot) I have checked the user guide, But not much information for driver installation/un-installation. Please let me, if I can do above with installer itself. Best Regards, Raj
