I want to also do some custom actions in the installer if SQL fails. Just curious.

instTst · ‎Apr 04, 2011

Not sure if this is the best way, but I created booleans for each of my features, did a FeatureIsItemSelected BEFORE the feature tree dialog for each of the features, and assigned a boolean value. Then after the feature tree, I checked to see if it was selected. If it is selected, and the boolean was FALSE, then i know that it isn't installed yet, and is selected.

Hi, I'm trying to have installshield/installscript pull a custom dialog on Modify Mode, but I only want the have this dialog called if a specific feature is going to be installed. I tried the FeatureIsItemSelected() function, but this function will fire off the dialog even if the feature is installed already. Is there a way for me to get which features will be installed? Regards, J

Hi, I'm trying to Deploy a SQL database through installshield (installscript project), but I want to have it so that if the database exists already, script A will fail (which happens) but only in this case, call on script B. Is there any way to do this? Regards, J

this basically means no? There is no way to get local ip addresses?

Hi, I want to get the local IP address of the machine the setup is running. Is there an easy way to do this? Regards, J

StrtoNum and NumtoStr functions. Just found it.

Hi, I'm having some trouble, I want to get information from the user regarding ip address and port number, but I also want to be able to manipulate some of these values like integers. Is there any way I can convert strings to integers with installscript functions? Regards, J

Hi, I'm making an installer that will deploy a sql database and also initialize a service under the same credentials used for deploying the sql database. From what I understand, this line is what initializes the sql runtime and opens the prompt: Dlg_SQLServer: nResult = OnSQLServerInitialize( nResult ); if( nResult = BACK ) goto Dlg_SdFeatureTree; How can I grab the username, password and connection string? Does anybody know? Regards, J

Hi, I've been using the solution here: http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/InstallShield2011/IIS-TextSub.htm to specify Dynamic username/password for creating an application pool. The problem I'm having is that it works too well - as in setup does not fail when creating an app pool with a non existent domain account. The app pool will show up in IIS manager with the fake account! Has anybody encountered this problem? If so, has anybody solved this problem? Is there any way for me to verify an account when receiving account info in a dialog? Something along the lines of CheckDomainAccount( szUser, szPassword); Thanks in advance, J

I was wondering if I can have the InstallScript Consume a SQL script, rather than import a SQL script. I'm looking for something along the lines of: executeSQLScript(SUPPORTDIR ^ "SQLScript.sql"); Does anybody have an answer for this? The SQL Script view seems to open a script file and import, and if I change the script file on my harddrive, changes are not made to the file. Regards, J

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to run a SQL script that is in my support files directory, through installscript. I don't want to use the SQL script view because it does not allow for the flexibility that I require. What I want to do is something like this: runSql(SUPPORTDIR ^ "sqlscript.sql"); Is there a function that lets me do something like this? Regards, J

Solved my problem. Forgot hardcoded strings, require an escape character for '\'

instTst · ‎Mar 15, 2011

Hey everyone, The solution for me was that I needed an escape character. I forgot that I was hard coding a string value for the username and '\' needs an escape character. Regards, J
