This link is broken: Q200878: Activation of InstallShield 2010 and Later

Chip_Keen · ‎Apr 08, 2011

I had a similar error message: ISEXP : error -7141: An unexpected error occurred embedding file C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\Support\SetupExe.Admin.manifest into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\InstallShield\Server6.2\Express\WebDeployment\DiskImages\DISK1\setup.exe The solution was to use Add/Remove Programs, select Installshield, then Repair.

I'm not sure that I fully understand your question, but I suspect the problem is that you're trying to do more than you have to. If you include the required C++ libraries as redistributables in your InstallShield project, then you don't have to run vcredist_x86.exe as a prerequisite. You can add redistributables in InstallionDesigner / 2 Specify Application Data / Redistributables. You can download the most current redistributables from Flexera by selecting Tools / Redistributable Downloader

Thanks kbooth! That saved me a lot of time looking for a method that doesn't exist.

Installation Designer / #3 Configure Target System / Internet Information Services / right-click Web Sites / select Add Web Site. It should install under Default Web Site by default. HTH

Maybe you're in the Project Assistant tab instead of the Installation Designer tab. In the Designer Tab, #6 (Releases), view, you'll see a nested tree structure beneath Builds. DVD-9 is one of the nesting levels, SingleImage is another. Right-click on SingleImage, then select Build. It should work for you.

I suspect you'll need to upgrade to a more powerful version of InstallShield to accomplish that. To my knowledge, Express 2008 doesn't give you scripting capability.

Chip_Keen · ‎Mar 26, 2009

I think your hunch is a good one. Have you tried removing the comma?

Chip_Keen · ‎Oct 20, 2008

Thank you for that clarification. I'll restore my saved copy of ISRT.dll. Once again, many thanks for your help.

Chip_Keen · ‎Oct 20, 2008

Thank you! I'm very grateful for your reply. As you mention, the KB article is for 2008 Pro/Premier editions. I can find the equivalent IISHelper.dll file in 2008 Express, the closest I could find to the IISRT.dll is C:\Program Files\Macrovision\IS 2008 Express\Redist\Language Independent\i386\ISRT.dll. Just as a test, I tried changing the name of IISRT.dll patch file to ISRT.dll, then copied it, and gave it a try. It appears to have worked! Many thanks.

My project creates an IIS Virtual Directory flawlessly in XP (IIS 5.x), but fails in Vista (IIS 7.x) with the message "The wizard was interrupted before [myappname] could be completely installed ..." I've enabled the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 compatibility options in Vista to no avail. Here, for comparison purposes are the Verbose file logs: In XP: 1: Creating application 'Default Application' with virtual directory 'GOiShopWebsite', website '1', and physical path: 'C:\GO_Win\iSHOP\SMSServer\' MSI (s) (10!54) [17:16:26:667]: Closing MSIHANDLE (240) of type 790531 for thread 340 MSI (s) (10!54) [17:16:26:667]: Creating MSIHANDLE (241) of type 790531 for thread 340 1: InstallShield project contains a website with name 'GOiShopWebSite', site number '1', and port '80'.

Here's a more helpful response about verbose logging, contributed by victorcamp 02/15/2008 (http://community.macrovision.com/showthread.php?p=408233): Logging -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure if this will be of any help, but I've noticed that the logging command line options don't seem to be exactly as documented. Though I'm using Express, these should still apply. With Setup.exe: setup.exe /v"/l*vx \"C:\MyDirectory\My_Install.log\"" The quotes must be exactly as shown, since Setup.exe feeds it through to the Microsoft Installer. Within Setup.ini: CmdLine=/l*vx C:\My_Install.log Here there are no quotes, since it's being fed directly to the Microsoft installer.

Chip_Keen · ‎Oct 14, 2008

You can trigger it from the Windows command line. Enter "verbose" in your local copy of the InstallShield / Help / Search field for an explanation.

Installation Designer View / Builds tree / Express tree: right-hand window includes a field for "Setup File Name"

That was brilliant and perspicacious Michael! Excluding the DLL from digital signing did the trick. The "before" and "after" file sizes are now identical. You're right, the solution was in front of me all the time, I just couldn't see it. I still have to test the new install on Vista, but the change has definitely corrected the issue on the one XP machine that I could duplicate the problem on. Thank you for your help, I'm deeply grateful.
