Hi, I have InstallShield 2019R3 Professional and I want to build a Docker image. There are a number of posts such as this one https://community.flexera.com/t5/InstallShield-Knowledge-Base/InstallShield-StandAlone-Build-with-Docker/ta-p/127060 that tell me how to do that. But I think these posts assume that I don't already have SAB installed. The machine on which I have Docker installed already has the SAB installed. 1. Is that sufficient? 2. Do I need to uninstall SAB and reinstall with this command line? RUN InstallShield2019R3StandaloneBuild.exe /s /v"INSTALLLEVEL=101 SABCONTAINER=1 /qn" 3. Can I use that machine build typical Basic MSI and Docker using the same SAB? Thanks

If you are doing Stand Alone Builds you can pass ISVersion on the command line. That way you can do whatever you want to it.

InstallShield 2016

rguggisberg · ‎Jun 23, 2021

No. Just open the file in IS 2016 and it will get updated.

Resolved. Need to include the 'Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client' prerequisite in the Redistributables view.

Hi, I am having trouble validating my SQL connection in a Basic MSI Project. I have done it for InstallScript MSI projects and it is stone simple to do with a UDL file. 1. I am executing the ISSQLServerValidate on the press of the Next key in the SQLLogin dialog. I have tried lots of things and always get "Error 27502". I do have TCP and Named Pipes enabled. 2. If that can't be made to work... is there a way to 'Test Connection' by executing a UDL file from within my installer? (Assuming I have populated the UDL file with the necessary parameters). Thanks

You probably need to replace the password on the Signing tab of the releases view for the new certificate.

rguggisberg · ‎May 05, 2021

ahhh... you might need InstallShield Premier for that. I have done it with Premier in the past, but am using Professional now and I only see what you do. Click on ORGANIZATION, then Packages. Then click on the help topic 'Guidlines for Adding Packages to an Advanced UI or Suite/Advanced UI Project' in the window on the right.

You can accomplish that with a Suite project. Leave the .ism files as they are. Use the .exe's in the suite. You can have one initial user input experience and then install them all (or only those selected in an optional feature selection tree) with no further user interaction.

Open a CMD prompt and type MSIEXEC /? to get help. You can use something like: msiexec /qb /i <PathToYourMSIFile> AgreeToLicense=YES RebootYesNo=NO INSTALLDIR="%InstallDir%\" ... etc

rguggisberg · ‎Mar 24, 2021

Yes. -y <Product Version> version number in the format xx.xx.xxxxx See ISMCDBLD.exe /?

One way would be to create a custom action with your favorite language. Have it pull the installed Acrobat version out of the 'Uninstall' area of the registry. Store that value (or part of it) in a property that you can then use to specify the directory. And don't limit it to 2015 or 2017. Someday there may be an Acrobat version 202x.

@shunt, 5 SAB licenses if you have Premier 1 SAB license if you have Professional

rguggisberg · ‎Feb 19, 2021

Just click on the down-arrow to the left of the feature

If I remember right, support for DemoShield was dropped in about 2008! If the machine you are running that on dies you will be out of luck. If I were you I would convert that DemoShield project to an InstallShield Suite project. I think it was in 2012 when I did that.
