Hi to all! I have a Basic MSI installation and when I add the capability to create a Scheduled Tasks, at the end of the installation process on the target it always does a rollback??? The Target and Working Directory is correct, the Only thing I can see that the documentation sucks, the "Run As" has to be the SYSTEM account (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM). This cannot be a user and if I configure it manually in the target Tasks Scheduler UI directly it works fine. If I do configure as a domain\admin account it works fine "but" sets itself up as "Configure for: Windows Server 2003, XP and 2000" WHY??? This is a WIndows 7 system??? Is that a bug in InstallShield? Any ideas would be great! Gary :confused: ... View more

Hi, I am not sure why - but IS2013 does not include the Redistribute for VS2013 C++ as part of the standard list of files. So I created my own package in where the only part not working correctly is the application exit codes. The application installs correctly but IS always messages back that it failed - which I suspect is the Exit Code. Now the help file is useless as it says to verify with the publisher... Well MSFT does not publish it or post it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ... View more

To all, Well I have tried multiple things, including some posted example files and by using the modify XML file component inside InstallShield but I cannot get the changes made within the file. Our target systems are always 64Bit, I programmatically disable the Wow64 redirect since the file is in System32\inetsrv\config The part of the file that I need to updatethe "allowed" to "true", is: Anybody out there been able to do this? Is this a limitation of installShield? Thx! ... View more

Major problem - I have a SQL script that I am trying to import ins ISDEV 2012 Pro (sp1) and as soon as a click on import, ISDEV.EXE blows up, no trace or event in the Windows events. If I open the script in SQL Management Studio and run it all works just fine! Any ideas of hints??? :confused: Blows me away that it just blows up without a trace or error message. 😞 BTW - this only happens in IS2012 InstallShield script... partially works in Basic MSI. ...

All, Well I am having a very difficult time in getting IS2010 to perform the actions I specify in IS IDE. In the Internet Information Service, I specify the I am using the default AppPool, and the Application is .NET v2.0 - once installed IIS does register the installation as an IIS application. I have to do it myself manually. Other thing is I specify that the folder must have Write Access (for temp image files for reports) - but the folder is NOT "Write" accessible. Why? Is IS2010 not fully coompatible with Win2008R2? If so, ANY help would be appreciated!!! Gary ... View more

During our installation process (InstallShield Script) we are looknig to the path of IIS in the registry in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\INetStp\PathWWWRoot. On Server 2003 this was an explicit path - on Server 2008 it is a REG_EXPANDED_SZ which places %SystemDrive% in the place of the actual drive letter. Any ideas on how do deal with this since all of our web components are not being installed. Thanks! ... View more

I have an InstallShield project using IS2008. In our project we have 2 web.config files in seperate folders. I have specified the path of both folders example: \app1 \app2 In using the XML File Changes I have configured this to update the appropriate AppSettings within the files. Problem: Regardless of what I do - only the first web.config gets updated and never the second one from the other folder. Any ideas??? Can it be an issue that both are called web.config? Help.... only part left in my installer to ship it out! Gary ... View more
