Is it possible to change the menu titles to mixed case in the InstallShield 2021 User Interface? Also, is there a way to change the color of the UI - white and blue doesn't do it for me. Thanks!

Hey Masuda, I have the same issue. It appears there is no way to do so using the available InstallShield interface. Interval of 1 day is the most frequent setting that can be set. It would be a nice enhancement to InstallShield to be able to access some of the settings on the "Advanced Settings" section of the Edit Trigger dialog box in Windows Task Scheduler. I am now going to research using custom code to set those Advanced Settings that I too need access to. Best of luck!

Hi Jesse, this capability was introduced in InstallShield 2012 spring. I assume it is only supported in that version and up of InstallShield. It would be a very handy and cool feature to use if they only explained how to pass parameters! 🙂 Without that information, it is pretty much useless in my humble opinion. Take care,

I would like to utilize the new custom action type of powershell. However, most powershell scripts that I write need to have some sort of parameters passed to them. I do not see anywhere in the InstallShield documentation how to do this. Does anybody know how? Thanks in advance!

I have not gotten it to work either, but have made some progress on it. I am not sure what you mean by powershell chokes on the curly braces in the path? How are you trying to run powershell? I think if it were me, I would revert back to using LaunchApplication and execute powershell.exe piping in the powershell commands you want as parameters. One thing that must absolutely be done prior to executing LaunchApplication is executing this command: Disable(WOW64FSREDIRECTION); Once control has returned back to IS from PowerShell, you would run this command: Enable(WOW64FSREDIRECTION); Hope this helps you out!

Thanks! I will give that a try. 😄

Hi, I need to pass more than one path variable to the Stand Alone Build engine and can't seem to figure out how to do this? Are they separated with commas, spaces, etc.? I can pass one path variable just fine but when it comes to passing more than one, this is where I get tripped up. My command line would look something like this -l PATH_TO_RELEASE_FILES="C:\MyProject\Release" How can I include another path variable in the above example? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Robert! I believe you answered my question. I am just trying to gauge how easy or difficult it would be to develop an application or customize the behavior of FNO? I have written a WPF application surrounding the FNC API to customize the notifications and downloads piece, and now my company is taking a hard look at FNO for what it has to offer and I am just trying to get a handle on if what I have learned about how to code for the FNC API will help me with coding for the FNO API as I am sure my management will want to do something that FNO does not do out of the box 🙂 Thanks again for your input! Tim

Hello, I have experience with programming the FLEXnet Connect API and was wondering if the same or similar capabilities exist for FNO? If so, what would be your opinion on who easily my knowledge of the FNC API would transfer and or help me out with learing the FNO API? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response. Tim

I would like to know if the Text File Changes View can be used to do a wildcard search and replace? For example, the on-line help in InstallShield 2011 gives an example of finding Thanks in advance! 😄

Actually, I have resolved it by recompiling my assembly to the .NET Framework 3.5. I believe this to be a bug in InstallShield 2011. :mad:

Hello, I am trying to write a managed code custom action on a 64-bit Windows 7 OS. I get an error message "Unable to load one or more of the requested types" when the .dll has been compiled to target the .NET Framework v4.0. However, if I recompile the same .dll to target the .NET Framework v2.0, I do not get the error message and things work normally. Does anyone know if this is a limitation of IS2011 or if I am doing something wrong? If there is a workaround for this, I would like to know as I really need to target the .NET Framework v4.0. Thanks! Tim

That did the trick Robert, thanks! Tim
