Hi, how do I define a destination folder and pass the value from GetProfString over? For example, Defind a variable call PIHOME (PI application can be installed on any directory, INSTALLDIR=PIHOME. And PIHOME = the value read from *.ini.

Hi, I am writing a small installshield project(using 2008, msi project). The goal is to auto detect where the Application installed directory, then coy and past a *.dll file under installed directory. For example, if the application is installed under C:\Program Files\APP, the installsheld project will create a folder under C:\Program Files\App\Extensions, and copy the *.dll files under ...\Extensions. If the application is installed under C:\App, then the *.dll file will be copied to C:\App\Extensions. 1. Is there a way to detect where is Application is installed? OR 2. The Application installation directory information is stored in *.ini file under C:\windows, how can I pass the info from *.ini to installshield? Thanks

Hi, I updated the Product Name to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP", however only ABCDEFGHI show up on the ProdcutName of Setup.exe properties.dialog. The file name is truncated. Is this a 2008 bug? No issue with Installshield 12 version. Anyway to fix this? Is there a hotfix? Thanks iron_giant

Hi, I am able to update Product Name and Product version under Installation information->General Information->Product Proterties by using automation script. However, under Media->Release, for each release, it will not replace existing data with new update. How do I update Product Name and Product version by using automation script? Thanks
