Hi @JayeshSoni,
Thank you for your post.
The only potential issue that I can think of offhand is a design decision that you are going to have to make. If you schedule / sequence a custom action after InstallFinalize, any system changes made will be permanent--there will be no opportunity for a rollback of the changes made. If this is not an issue for you, then scheduling / sequencing the custom action after InstallFinalize seems fine. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Hey Rich (@avimail1) , no, it is not possible to upgrade to an earlier supported InstallShield version. The best available option is to purchase NEW, either InstallShield 2022 InstallShield Edition (formerly, InstallShield Professional Edition) or InstallShield 2022 Premier Edition. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks, Ian.

You're welcome Rich (@avimail1). We're happy to help. Thank you for your reply.
It is difficult to say. The amount of time projects take to configure are on a case-by-case basis. What might make this project take longer to configure is that the project(s) is/are being upgraded from InstallShield 12. There were quite a few versions between InstallShield 12 and our latest InstallShield version, InstallShield 2022 R2, so there's not necessarily going to be a seamless upgrade. There was InstallShield 12, InstallShield 2008, InstallShield 2009, InstallShield 2010, InstallShield 2011, InstallShield 2012, InstallShield 2012 Spring, InstallShield 2013, InstallShield 2014, InstallShield 2015, InstallShield 2016, InstallShield 2018, InstallShield 2019, InstallShield 2020, InstallShield 2021, and InstallShield 2022. That's quite a few versions, which can make upgrades challenging.
There are cases when starting from scratch with a new project turns out to be easier and faster, but that's at least partially a judgment call you'll have to make depending on the number of issues, if any, encountered after upgrading to a supported InstallShield version. It's tough to commit to a specific time frame with this. But hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks, Ian.

Hello @avimail1,
Thank you for your post.
If you are going to need technical support, because you're going to have a technical support contract (maintenance plan), then you will need upgrade to a supported InstallShield version. I recommend upgrading to the latest and greatest InstallShield version, which is InstallShield 2022 R2, especially if you need InstallShield integration with Visual Studio 2022 for a non-InstallScript project, such as a Basic MSI project. Your best bet would be to contact us via our Contact Us Form at the following link:

Hi @wm3866,
You are welcome; we are happy to help. Thank you for your reply.
Based on visual inspection of the PowerShell script, nothing jumps out at me as being incorrect as far as I know, at least offhand, except for possibly needing to specify a -ClassName parameter before Win32_OperatingSystem. But maybe I'm missing something.
A potential catch that I see involves the environment variable that it looks like you're setting. There's a chance that the Windows environment variables will not be refreshed in time, so that the environment variable that you set is accessible to the installer itself.
In summary, I'm not aware of any issues with this approach offhand. However, we suggest testing this implementation as thoroughly as possible, which you were probably going to do anyway. Please let us know whether this implementation works for you, so that we can note it for future reference as a possible workaround to this Windows Installer limitation. That would be very helpful to know.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Hi @JayeshSoni,
Thank you for your post.
If you are configuring a Basic MSI package or an InstallScript MSI package, could you please follow these steps to generate a verbose MSI uninstall log?
1. In the Windows Registry Editor, create the following Windows Registry entries:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer Type: Reg_SZ Value: Logging Data: voicewarmupx
per the documentation at the following link:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/enable-windows-installer-logging
2. Uninstall the product.
Note: This approach will automatically generate a verbose MSI install, repair, uninstall, etc. log for every MSI-based package run on the target machine, I believe, until this specific Windows Registry entry is renamed or removed completely:
Value: Logging
The verbose MSI log will be created in the %Temp% folder in File Explorer.
Please give this a try. Does this work for you?
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Hi @wm3866,
Thank you for your post.
No, there are no alternatives, because per Microsoft's design of Windows Installer, the VersionNT MSI property cannot be used to differentiate among Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11, since the value remained the same. Since only Microsoft authored Windows Installer (MSI), you would need to contact Microsoft directly to request a change in Windows Installer behavior, which is what Basic MSI projects are based on. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
