The installer package is installing software in Windows XP by a non-admin user despite setting the option that installation requires administrative privileges. An error does appear upon clicking Next if the location of install is default (Program Files). However, if user sets a custom location, the installation completes (although no shortcuts are created). Kindly provide solution to prevent installation of software by a non-admin user in any case without affecting any other version of windows or platforms. Platforms: Windows (XP, Vista and 7) and Mac OSx. ... View more

hi. I have a great vbscript. It locates the version number in the registry on target system. Takes only the first digit and evaluates it to see it it is Less Than 3 If less than three my function returns TRUE, Else the function returns FALSE My question here is, How to get InstallShield to retrieve and act on either the TRUE (or) FALSE Value? I have the Custom Action window open. and here are my settings... [Source Location] = "Browse File System" [File Name] = "this\is\a\long\local\path\to\my\vbScript\file" [Function Name] = "VersionLessThanThreeExist" [Wait for Action] = Yes [Ignore Exit Code] = No [Comments] = "Just my description on that I'm trying to do here" [Condition] = "No Condition" I have no [Condition] here because I can't find a way to tell it to "Halt Execution if the return value of the function is FALSE...... Under [Condition] i am limited to selection places to search like paths and keys or values of .ini files Please tell me how to test and act on the TRUE or FALSE return of my function. Thanks Best Regards, Mark [EDIT: I have changed the .vbs to return a 1 if true and 0 if false. How can i tell installshield to halt install if function returns 0? Ir I could reverse these exit codes if necessary. can you help please?] [EDIT: OK, I have figured out how to stop the installation and that is by returning 3 from the function. Now, where do I place a message to be displayed as a result of the exit action? I tried a msgbox("some message") but this is displayed three time in a row? Can you advise please what do do to finish up this??? I got the installer to stop installation with a vbscript function returning 3 but now there needs to be a message display explaining the action.... Thanks bunches if you can help me.] ... View more

Hi all. Please help me out here. I need to install the PowerPacks 10 onto the end users computer. Is there a way to add a prerequisite to Instalshield LE 11 that will wrap up the file "VisualBasicPowerPacksSetup.exe", which is installed with Visual Studio in the bootstrapper folder, into the setup.exe file? Then search the users computer for its existence of version 10 or higher. If not found then execute the VisualBasicPowerPacksSetup.exe file before the .NET framework??? Is this possible with LE v11? I have searched the internet and forums for 2 days and cannot come up with a solution to this problem. For the record, I am "not" creating a Click-Once install so simply adding the reference to the VS2010 prerequisites list found on the Publish tab of the properties sheet inside of VS2010 will not work. Any help would be appreciated. Thnaks, MiniMan ... View more

Hi, I was using installshield 2010 and trying to convert my project file in installshiled 2012 premier. My project is having lot of custom dialogs and a few standard dialogs. After upgrading the project file to installshield 2012, I am seeing all Japanese/Chinese text (I am not able to understand which one) on the standard dialogs.

But the text comes in Japanese (in fact, we do not have any japanese version). Any help is much appreciated. ... View more
