All, I have a screen with a lot of fields that need to be filled in by the user and I'd rather not have a big screen that differs from the other screens. Is it possible to have some sort of Scroll view where you place the controls?

It was caused by the fact that the property already had a value. I removed the -1 default value and now it is working.

All, I'm trying to set a property using a checkbox on the last dialog (SetupCompleteSuccess), but currently it is never setting that property: 1. Created a new property called 'STARTSERVICESAUTOMATICALLY' with a default value -1 2. Added a checkbox on the SetupCompleteSuccess dialog 3. Set the property on the checkbox to 'STARTSERVICESAUTOMATICALLY' 4. Execute the installer, show the windows installer log When I look in the log I see the following: Property(C): STARTSERVICESAUTOMATICALLY = -1 Instead it should have the value 1. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

That is a screenshot of the link that I posted, I did follow those steps and it doesn't create a IISBrowseSSLCertificate screen. I did notice that on a new project it IS created. So it looks like my project is somehow not willing to add the screen. Instead I exported the screen from the freshly created project and imported it in the existing project.

According to this documentation there should be a dialog in the User Interface > Dialogs screen called 'IISBrowseSSLCertificate', but when I look in my project (or in a freshly created project) I don't see this dialog in the list of dialogs. Does anyone know how to add this? Or should I just create it myself?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to implement something in our installer. I'd like the user to set a certain property during the installation. (say, after the License Agreement screen) Once it is time to actually install the software, I will run a 'PowerShell Custom Action' with the 'In-Script Execution' set to 'Deferred', otherwise the PowerShell script is immediately executed. The problem I'm running into is that the property is always empty. This is 100% caused by the 'Deferred' execution, but I really need this to work. Any ideas?

Can I use underscores for my public properties?

GomochaInstall · ‎May 16, 2022

First of all, thank you for your answer, I think that solves my issue. Your solution is making me think of another question; When I create a property in the Property Manager is it by default public? Or do I need to set something?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to call the setup.exe from the commandline and then set InstallShield properties through arguments? I'd like to automatically deploy my software and I need to set certain properties.

I'm not familiar with InstallScript, can you also set the user which runs the windows service? If that's the case I'll have to dive into that.

The problem is that I need to create a Windows Service and due to Dynamic File Linking I cannot define the proper Key File for my component and thus InstallShield cannot be used to install the Windows Service. I'm forced to use PowerShell for this. Right now I wrapped the new-service line in a try catch which using Out-File prints out the error in a txt file.

Hello everyone, I've created a CustomAction that executes a PowerShell script. Here is the PowerShell script: $installdir = get-property -name INSTALLDIR $installdir | Out-File -FilePath C:\Test\testinstalldir.txt new-service -Name TestService1 -DisplayName "Test Service 1" -Description "Test Service to check if it works" -BinaryPathName "$installdir\TestService\TestService.exe" -StartupType Automatic As you can see, I'm getting the installdir as a string from the installshield property INSTALLDIR. I put the CustomAction to execute after PublishProduct in the Install Exec Sequence. But when executing the installer, it's not working. It is actually outputting the file in C:\Test\, but it seems as if the statement after it fails. When executing that same statement manually on the machine, it is registering the service properly. Also, if I replace $installdir with a hardcoded path it is still not working, so it doesn't seem like that is the issue. Is there a way to find out the error that is being thrown?

But that would mean I need a InstallShield Premier license, right? This isn't possible with the basic installer. Is there another way this could be done, using a 'regular' InstallShield project?

GomochaInstall · ‎May 05, 2022

Hi everyone, I'm trying to start a different installer after the installation of the first one is done. Is this possible? What my idea was, was that I would build the installer that I want to execute at the end would be build first, and then I would include that in the first installer. The problem is that I don't know where to put the CustomAction.

Figured it out! It means that they are dynamically linked directories. You can do these through the Files and Folder area or the Components area.
