This is a chunk of the switch statement in the powershell script I use but I still need to run the commands shown before to register the correct version first. switch($schema){ '776' { #776 = IS2015 LogWrite "Schema is $schema using IS2015: setting ISwiAuto22.ISWiProject" $m_ISWiProj = new-object -comobject IswiAuto22.ISWiProject ;break } '775' { #775 = IS2014 LogWrite "Schema is $schema using IS2014: setting ISwiAuto21.ISWiProject" $m_ISWiProj = new-object -comobject IswiAuto21.ISWiProject ;break } '774' { #774 = IS2013 LogWrite "Schema is $schema using IS2013: setting ISwiAuto20.ISWiProject" $m_ISWiProj = new-object -comobject IswiAuto20.ISWiProject ;break } '773' { #773 = IS2012Spring LogWrite "Schema is $schema using IS2012Spring: setting ISwiAuto19.ISWiProject" $m_ISWiProj = new-object -comobject IswiAuto19.ISWiProject ;break } '772' { #772 = IS2012 LogWrite "Schema is $schema using IS2012: setting ISwiAuto18.ISWiProject" $m_ISWiProj = new-object -comobject IswiAuto18.ISWiProject ;break } }

Hi, We run automation scripts to update versions numbers, product / package code, add components and other updates within the .ism files. This all works great but one issue I see if depending on what version of .ism file I am trying to update I need to register that particular IS .dll. even though I have all the IS versions installed on the same machine. So if I am updating a Spring2012 ism file I need to run this command prior to running my automation script. regsvr32.exe "c:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2012Spring\System\ISWiAutomation19.dll" If I then want to update a 2014 ism file I would then have to run this command first: regsvr32.exe "c:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014\System\ISWiAutomation21.dll" Can, and if so how, do I get different versions registered on the same machine? Thanks, Erik

I found out what the issue was at the top of my .vbs I was calling the Function but it looks like that is not needed since I specify the script function under the Action section of the Common tab. Thanks for you time, Erik

MSI (c) (E0:00) [13:56:11:422]: Cloaking enabled. MSI (c) (E0:00) [13:56:11:422]: Attempting to enable all disabled privileges before calling Install on Server MSI (c) (E0:00) [13:56:11:422]: Connected to service for CA interface. checkDefaultPort Script Started 1 checkDefaultPort Script Ending checkDefaultPort Script Started 1 checkDefaultPort Script Ending Action ended 13:56:11: checkDefaultPort. Return value 3. MSI (c) (E0:9C) [13:56:11:844]: Doing action: SetupCompleteError Here is the snippet where you can see the Script is called twice and then returns the forced -3 that I set it to. I have commented out all the code in the vbscript function except the log statement at the start and end of the script and setting the function name to -3 for the return value Function checkDefaultPort LogInfo "Script Started 1" checkDefaultPort = 3 'return success LogInfo "Script Ending" End Function Maybe its caused by my vbscript having the same name as the script function, either way its seems wrong. Thanks, Erik

Hi, I created a vbscript custom action, usually I store them within the custom action but in this case I want to get the return value so I store it in the binary table. I have it setup to run only once...since its located in the UI and Execute sequences. I have the Return processing set to Synchronous(Check exit code) and Immediate Execution. When I run my install and review the msi.log my script is actually being run twice in a row. The script works and does what it is supposed to do...but I do not want it to run twice. Has anyone run into this issue before? How do I correct the problem. Thanks, Erik

Thanks for the reply. I did find CStr() call worked to reset the value without adding quotes, so when I use it later in a Dialog is displays correctly.

I am using a property DEFAULT_PORT in my installer that I default to a specified integer value say 16315. I have a vbscript custom action that gets the session.property("DEFAULT_PORT") and then determines if in fact the port is open..if its not it upticks the value until an open port if found. The problem I am having is when I need to store the new integer value in the property. (defaultPort is the open port we are going to set DEFAULT_PORT to) This does not work: ( you do not see the value being set in the msi.log file) Session.Property("DEFAULT_PORT") = defaultPort This will work, but now when I display the value in a later dialog it has " " around the value. So "16317" is displayed instead of 16317 Session.Property("DEFAULT_PORT") = chr(34)& defaultPort &chr(34) Is there some other way I can assign the new value to the property to use later in the install process? Thanks, Erik
