Thanks@Jenifer for your suggestion. This could allow us to store/restore credentials somewhere in the registry (then we would have to manage password encryption and security); your example looks like some found on the Internet. The problem with this is that even if we can manage a user/password with our Installshield setup, we won't be able to start the service with this account. I guess only the windows LSA option can do that. The final goal here is to access a remote network share that could only be reached with a service started with a dedicated service account (managed by windows LSA). Can you confirm this? Our current workaround is to not delete the service at product uninstallation; I guess the service account will remain after product uninstallation, then it could work on upgrade. This is not really pretty (ghost service will exists with no binary available; some errors in event logs...) but I do not see any other to keep these LSA credential associated to the service.

Hi, We have a product installed with Installshiled. This product installs a service. I some case, the client needs to add connexion credentials to allow the service to read data from a shared network drive. After adding credentials and restarting the service, the service works fine and can read data on the shared network drive. When upgrading the product (major upgrade), the service is removed and re-installed and the connexion credentials are lost. Is there any solution to keep untouched these connexion information or backup/restore them after an upgrade? I have read old documents talking about HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\Policy\Secrets\_SC_<ServiceName> access; but it seems that access to this part of the registry protected by Windows LSA is no longer possible. Regards, Chris

Hi, I have a similar question about an ISM from a project which has been both changed on two branches under SVN that we now must merge. For many changes, there is no conflict and the XML seems clear enough to accept changes. The problem we have is about some tables where changes affects the IDs of the ISM/MSI tables. There are conflicts and we cannot merge as is. Does anyone has merged two ISM with conflicts in database tables? Best, Chris

For many of them, yes. These are versions that have been developed and tested by the R&D but only released as for beta or demo... But never declared as 'candidates' to talk with FNC. I have counted 300 distinct missing versions so a script would help. PS: What is the OBJECTID field of the VERSION table?

Hi, I run a FNC instance with Oracle 10G for my company and have found that many entries in PROFILECOLLECTION are referring to missing product code and/or version. Does anyone has created a script/procedure to automatically populate missing PC and versions? Thanks, Chris
