Hi,
I want to log the patch GUID when installing a patch with a CA. I know that you can find the GUID of each patch by right-clicking on an .msp file, selecting Properties and view the Revision Number, which is the patch GUID. How can I get that programmatically via InstallScript?
Thanks

Figured it out. Posting solution in case anyone else encounters this. My company started with an older version of InstallShield Express years ago. At that time they marked a few files as 'Never Overwrite'. Those have a 65535.0.0.0 in the Version column of the File table. I will change those with Direct Editor.

I am having this exact same problem with some files (not all). I am using InstallShield Premier 2021 and doing a Quick Patch for a Basic Msi project. There is no 'Always Overwrite' option. Perhaps that has been changed to 'Never Overwrite'?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ok... thanks for looking into it.
Unfortunately, I don't make new projects very often... just changes to existing ones.

Thanks for the suggestions Ian. I was hoping for a way to change the default for new components so that I don't need to go through and change them all later. Changing them all later would also change the few that SHOULD be shared.

Hi Ian,
Is there a way to make the default for new components to be NOT SHARED?
Thanks

Also, if you have any Shared files, it could be that the reference counts are messed up. If so, they may not get removed. Unfortunately, I think the default for components is that they are Shared. This is why I change mine to not shared unless required. Fixing the reference counts is a bit involved.

Uninstall will not remove any files that the installer did not put there (unless you dos via a custom action). Any files that were manually placed will not be removed.

Hi Shunt,
Thanks for that explanation. I will avoid using dynamic links for our next release.
Best Regards

Quick patch oddity when attempting to patch Dynamically Linked files.
Dynamically Linked files appear twice under 'Files', 'Original Setup Files'.
The file will only be patched if I add BOTH of them to 'Files To Patch'.
That works fine for installing the patch... but then the entire patch uninstall fails.
How to handle patching of Dynamically Linked files?
Thanks

Thanks Markus. I would not have thought of that, but it makes sense. I will try that when I get time.

Hi,
We have some dlls that are used by multiple exes in different folders. When these exes are built, the dependent dlls get placed in each folder that they are used. How do I deploy these dlls to the target system without copying the dlls to multiple folders? I tried putting them in the GAC. Seems easy enough and builds the install package without errors. Although when I try to install, I get:
Error 1936. An error occurred during the installation of assembly ‘MyDll,Version=”AA.BB.CC.0”,Culture=’neutral”,FileVersion=”AA.BB.CC.0”,ProcessorArchitecture=”x86”. The assembly is not strongly named or is not signed. I have ‘Sign Files in Package’ set to yes and files are getting signed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
