Hello. Why don't you use [Text File Changes View]? Text File Changes View http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield19helplib/helplibrary/TextFileChangesView.htm Specifying Search-and-Replace Criteria for a Text File Change http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield19helplib/helplibrary/TextFileChanges-SrchRplc.htm#ConfiguringTargetSystem_814688173_TextFileChanges-SrchRplc And I guess you can use Windows Installer Property INSTALLDIR as [INSTALLDIR]. If you write [INSTALLDIR], then that string will be replaced to actual install folder.

InstallShield auto created patch sequences are really mysterious. ( I don't know how to contorl that value. ) Anyway, small update which is supposed to upgrade multiple target is not recommended. Small Updates Should Usually Target a Single Baseline http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2007/03/30/small-updates-should-usually-target-a-single-baseline.aspx Do you really need to use small upgrade patching? If you use minor upgrade, you can use MinorUpdateTargetRTM. Cumulative Service Packs with MinorUpdateTargetRTM http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2006/06/14/cumulative-service-packs-with-minorupdatetargetrtm.aspx By using this setting,you can avoid an annoying patch sequence problem.

Hello. Why don't you try the following code. Environment Variables Example http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield18helplib/GetresEnv_variable_example.htm InstallScript Engine has changed since Version 2010 for Unicode. So, some legacy code may not work. ( In this case, 2012 Example code uses WPOINTER instead of POINTER. )

I'm glad to hear that:) Since it looked like you were trying to treat a msi installer as a Launcher which invokes another msi installers, I recommended that KB. Just as far as I'm aware... In any case, you should not do that configuration. Generaly, msi which invokes another msi is not recommended. ( 'Feature prerequisites' is one of exception. )

Hello. I'm not sure whether you can do Major upgrade 32bit MSI to 64bit MSI. But it looks like you tried it and you couldn't do it. I guess in this case the most simple way is uninstalling the previous version and install the latest version without default Major upgrade mechanism. Why don't you create wrapper Setup.exe which includes two type MSI installer(32/64) and uninstalls the previous version installer if it's needed.? InstallScript custom codes can do it.

Hello. gcggcg. Sorry for if you already knew this... First of all, do you know you can not create MSI package which supports both x86 and x64 environment? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367451(v=vs.85).aspx For this reason, you may have to redesign your installer.

Hello. Gomathi I'm not sure what setting did you use on ISX. But I guess InstallShield 2011 doesn't support them normally.

Hello. Barvaz. I guess you are using InstallScript installer. Windows 7 environment doesn't support displaying InstallScript Installer's actual size for some reason.

Hello. If you want to do it using pure msi package(.msi), I guess you can't. You can do that using Setup.exe. 1. In [Relase] view,select your existed release entry. 2. [Setup.exe]tab in right panel, Change [Require Execution Level] to [Administator] 3. Build the release. Your Setup.exe will have shield icon. And it will need Administrator privilege.
