Does the InstallShield Express edition still exist. I have the InstallShield Express edition 2020 r3. Is there a 2022 version available?

When I converted my project from Install Shield Express to Install Shield pro 2021. The custom actions do appear under Custom Actions and Sequences-Custom Actions. But nothing appears under Sequence. I guess this is what I am not understanding. I believe they have to be to When and Where to execute

Thank you very much for replying, it is appreciated. The custom actions after the license agreement should happen in the sequence I set them up after the client agree's to license terms. Regarding the after installation actions. I developed these custom actions over the years in InstallShield Express and they have always worked perfectly when executed at that point. I would expect that to continue??

Can someone please assist. I have been waiting for a response since April 11. I need some answers. I am in progress of migrating an older InstallShield Express installer to InstallShield 2021 Professional installer. There is something I cannot find the answer to. I have 7 custom actions that must happen properly in sequence after the license agreement is agreed to. I then 5 custom actions that must happen properly in sequence after successful completion of the install. Can someone please provide some instructions?

Outstanding, thanks

Yes, that helped. One question. If there is no check mark, such as XP, Win 7 and Win Vista does that mean it will not install on those desktop operating systems?

TheHouz · ‎Mar 04, 2022

I used to use InstallShield Express. I am now using InstallShield 2021 R2. I cannot find a place to control what Windows desktops I either decide not to allow the install to proceed, or allow the install to proceed. Example. Do Not Allow XP, Vista, Win 7 Example. Allow Win 8, Win 10, Win 11. Thanks in advance.

I was interested in having Windows 8 available in the "System Hardware Requirements" pick list, so I can tell Installshield to either install or not install our applications into Windows 8 systems.

TheHouz · ‎Mar 02, 2012

I need to start testing applications and installation in Windows 8. When will it be supported in InstallShield Express 2012.

TheHouz · ‎Mar 02, 2012

Debbie, Thanks, that worked. I have MSIE 9 running.

Is there an actual service pack for InstallShield Express 2012? I keep seeing articles referencing it, but then the links point to blank screens.

Here is your answer Mark. Not sure I mentioned, but after installing Office 2010, I had errors during my build. After I used the Express CD to do a repair, the errors stopped, but results changed. Before Office 2010, when I do a build in Express. These are all good/expected dates. Application has Created May 26, 2010 Application has Modified May 26, 2010 Application has Accessed June 24, 2010 After Office 2010. No change to the build or applications, except adding the signing. Application has Created June 4, 2010 Application has Modified June 4, 2010 Application has Accessed June 24, 2010 Certificate Timestamp is June 4, 2010. Based on your input, the date modified should be June 4th, as it was modified or signed that date. But, the date created should remain at May 26.

The project I am building contains say 10 different executables. Each executable has a different date, based upon when that executable was compiled. Prior to Office 2010 installation, when the digital signing was working properly, the executables were signed, and yet maintained the date the executable was compiled. Post Office 2010 installation. Everything is signed, but, the date was changed to reflect the exact date and time that I performed the build of the project. Hope that is clear.

I am running InstallShield Express 2010 on a 64-Bit desktop with 8GB of ram. I recently acquired a digital certificate from Winqual. I added the certificate to one of my installation projects. The signing process worked just fine. I thought I was home free. I then had to install Office 2010 Professional. This is to allow me to test applications in Office 2010. I then started to receive errors when InstallShield was compiling my application. SignTool Error: Signtool requires CAPICOM version 2.1.0.1 or higher. Please copy the latest version of CAPICOM.dll into the directory that contains SignTool.exe. If CAPICOM.dll exists, you may not have proper permissions to install CAPICOM. A little research indicates capicom.dll has been depracated by Microsoft. So, I contact Flexera support. They tell me to do a repair install of my Express 2010. I did this. Now, when I compile the same project, I do not get the error. But, all of the applications are signed with the wrong date. So, I contact Flexera again. Now, they say: I was in touch with the engineering team. Since InstallShield Express is a stripped down version it doesn�t support 64 bit operating system. Therefore the digital signature or any other feature may not work as expected. I would request you please upgrade InstallShield 2010 to Premier edition as it supports 64 bit OS as well. That is a loaded response "or any other feature may not work as expected". THey told me it would work just fine on a 64-Bit desktop when I purchased the renewal. Anyone have any thoughts on this. My Express 2010 was working prefectly on my 64-Bit desktop until I installed Office 2010. I suspect this is another bug in Express 2010 that they will not fix, and want to force me to Premier.
