To be honest, my IS knowledge is limited. I have never heard about the search method you mentioned before. The general idea of my IS project is: 1. Check software conflict. 2. User specifies installation information. 3. Start to install. AppSearch is located in the beginning of installation sequence, but the installation sequence will not be started until the user clicks the "Install" button in "ReadyToInstall" dialog. Right?

The CA scans registry to find if there is any conflict between the installed software and the software that is going to be installed. Originally, it was performed after end user clicks the "Next" button in the last dialog. Then they want the CA to be performed as soon as the current dialog is opened.

Hi, After jumping to a new dialog, I want to do a CA automatically, without any end user operation, e.g. clicking button. In the dialog before this one, I tried to put "NewDialog" before "DoAction", but the new dialog was not opened untill the CA was finished. Is there any solution for this? Thanks.

Hi, My aim is to add some Chinese characters into a UTF-8 txt file. When I tried to achieve it with FileInsertLine, the added Chinese characters were saved as symbols. But the same operation worked correctly on the txt files in ANSI and Unicode format. So I think it is an encoding issue. I did not find any encoding options for FileInsertLine. Is there a solution for this? Or is this a known issue?

Thanks a lot. It worked. 🙂 And another little question: What is the difference between "sv" and "sz", since both of them are used as the starting part of STRING variable?

Hi, I am working on a Basic MSI project with InstallShield 2009. During installation, I need to copy a folder with hundreds empty sub-folders. But XCopyFile did not copy any of empty sub-folder. Here is the copy code: XCopyFile(szOrigFolder ^ "*.*", szTarFolder ^ "*.*", INCLUDE_SUBDIR); Did I do something wrong? BTW, I have processed szOrigFolder and szTarFolder with StrRemoveLastSlash function.

Hi, I am working on a major upgrade job. One of the major upgrade settings is "Completely uninstall old setup before installing new setup". After this uninstall, I want to implement a custom action. And the problem is the condition of the custom action. In one of the IS help file, it is mentioned that "If you want a custom action to run only during a major upgrade, use this condition. UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE". I tried, but it did not work. The custom action was not implemented during the uninstall of major upgrade. Then I tried to put my custom action before or after RemoveExistingProducts in Installation Sequence. And it was not helpful. After that, I tried to use ActionProperty, by default, it is ISACTIONPROP1, still not working. >< Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. But unfortunately, it did not work. After defining the custom action, on its "Common" tab, there are 5 options about sequence and the corresponding conditions: Install UI Sequence, Install Exec Sequence, Advertise Exec Sequence, Admin UI Sequence, and Admin Exec Sequence. I tried to set "After InstallValidate" and "REMOVE = "ALL"" in "Install Exec Sequence" or "Admin Exec Sequence", and leave the other 4 options as " " each time. The results are same, the custom action was not performed when uninstalled with Control Panel, but be performed when uninstalled with installation package. Actually, I am always confused about affect control panel uninstall behavior according to InstallShield. Control panel uninstall can run without installation package, right? Then did we write the customized operations into registry or other places?

I am working on a Basic MSI Project, and when uninstall my program, I want to do some operations (e.g. delete a specific folder). This issue is easy for uninstalling with installation package: Function -> Custom Action -> Dialog Event. But I do not know how to do it when uninstall with control panel. One of the information I found is edit OnMoveData function. But that information is for InstallScript Project. In a Basic MSI Project, there is no pre-defined content in OnMoveData function. And I could not copy the content of InstallScript Project to Basic MSI Project, because their working procedures are different. By the way, I am working with InstallShield 11.5 Premier Edition. But I think that will not be an issue. And the InstallShield 11.5 forum is a little quiet...
