Well - I found my own answer 🙂 In the Data I placed the double-quotes in front and at the end and InstallShield did the rest correctly: Data = "[INSTALLDIR]MyApp.exe"

This is very helpful. Why is installshield then not placing the double quotes within the installer. In the System Configuration -> Registry I have a key name of (example): Name = MyApp Data = [INSTALLDIR]MyApp.exe How do I force that to have the double-quotes? Should the installer not handle that? I have InstallShield Pro 2018R2

There seems to be a difference on how the registry handles the paths. Many entries I see double-quotes at the beginning the the end of path strings - like in the run section as an example. Then the ones I inserted in the registry with installshield do not (win7 / win10) have the d-quotes. On Win10 it doesn't seem to be an issue - on Win 7 many customers are complaining that the EXE is not launching. Possibly because of the spaces in the the paths ? Anybody know what the proper documented process is? Double-quotes or not?

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:

No - the exit codes are different and MSFT does not pubish them...? That is why the VS C++ 2012 ones always generate an error!

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.

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!

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

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!

Looks like I found the solution if this happens to others... If you have 2 web.config (or more) files that have the SAME name in different folders the problem in IS2008 is it creates the components with the same names. Since it then gets "confused" at that point it will only process the first component or XML file change. If you rename and insure that the component names are different then you are good to go and the files will get updated. IS2008 should not allow this to happen and I would consider this a bug in the product. But at least there is a work-around.

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
