Try sending message using INSTALLMESSAGE_ACTIONSTART. For example: hActionRec = MsiCreateRecord(3); MsiRecordSetString( hActionRec, 2, "Hello on second line"); nResult = MsiProcessMessage(ISMSI_HANDLE, INSTALLMESSAGE_ACTIONSTART, hActionRec);

I've been strugling with this for long. I want to disable cancel button during deferred custom action (which launch external application). I tried different ways like Disable(CANCELBUTTON), StatusDlg.EnableWindow() as well as custom action to disable the cancel butting but nothing worked. I am using Installshield 2008. Is there a way to do achieve this? Thanks in advance.

You can create a new component. Put condition on this component. And the associate this commonent with your shortcut. The shortcut will be created only if this component is installed.

I am working with InstallshieldMSI project. I added a sub folder under Files and Folders view. The purpose of this folder is to create sql database files ( .mdf and .ldf ) during the installation. I set the permission on this folder to full control for everyone. When I run the setup on my development machine, the this sub folder is create with full access. But on Target machine, it is created as Readonly. When I checked the permissions on this folder on the target machine, it had full access to everyone. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I am working with InstallshieldMSI project. And I figured out how to create shorcuts using installscript. I used AddFolderIcon() function do the job. 🙂 Thanks

Hi, I have InstallScriptMSI project. I have XML files which needs to be updated with SQLServer name ( selected by user at runtime). So I typed a in Content box of XML element in the Advanced tab. Then I did TextSubSetValue( " ", szServerName, TRUE ) in OnBegin event in the installscrtipt. The xml file created by setup during runtime have instead of actual server name. Any ideas?? What I am doing wrong?

I have a SQL database file which I want to deploy with my setup program but don't want to copy on the target system. The setup should be able to attach this file from DISK1. What is the predefined variable for DISK1?

Thanks guys for the reply. The property is un Uppercase ( has underscore eg. MY_PROPERTY). I am not accesing the property in the Deffered action. This property is set in my custom action function. This property I use in condition to launch SQL script. But this condition never evaluates to true doesn't matter what the value of property is. The condition is much simple i.e. MY_PROPERTY = 1 I am sure the custom action function sequence is called before the SQL script execution sequence becuase I have put the message box in the the function to test.

I have installssript with entry-point function( called from custom action ) and script event handler. It also have a global variable which get set in the event handler, say OnFirstUIBefore. The same global variable is used in the expression in the entry-point function which is attached to a custom action. This Custom action get executed way after OnFirstUIBefore event occurs. This means, the value of a global variable which get sets in the OnFirstUIBefore should be visble in the custom action. BUT ITS NOT. The global variable return blank. When I check a global variable in OnEnd event handler, it has same value which was set in OnFirstUIBefore. So is this issue with Global variable or its by design. Thanks
