Is(USER_ADMINISTRATOR,"") anyways i am using but its not full proof, as i found and also read in lot of forums that its not capable of finding full admin privileges as compared to Privileged property. Privileged property is the ultimate property for knowing that you have all the privileges or not. ... View more

We have to know from where you want to retrieve that value. i.e. if you are inside an MSI you can just use the property. regards Markus Thanks markus, I want to use this property in Suite installer. Can I do this? Or any alternative is there? ... View more

chad.petersen wrote: Have you considered using the RemoveFiles table? I always try to use native MSI capabilities whenever possible, and only extend using Custom Actions if there is no other good way. I assume someone wrote this Delete function. It doesn't seem to be one that is built in to InstallScript language as far as I can tell. There is a DeleteFile built in that I can see. Even here, Flexera recommends using the RemoveFiles table if possible. Project: In a Basic MSI or InstallScript MSI project, this functionality might be better achieved by using the native Windows Installer RemoveFiles action. For more information, see the Windows Installer Help. http://helpnet.installshield.com/installshield22helplib/Subsystems/installshield22langref/helplibrary/LangrefDeleteFile.htm Chad Hi, Thanks for the response I cannot use the Remove file table as i dont know the file names or types as there could be any no. of files of any name or type. Yes, i am using the inbuilt Delete file method. ... View more

Can i sequence the INI file changes to the end of the installation so that the shortcut creation takes place in the end with the updated value. Please suggest. Thanks SOLUTION: The INI file change sequence is when WriteIniFile custom action gets executed. You can find it in execute sequence . Dont change the sequence of default events as it will break somewhere else then. Instead, try to move your own custom action according to the sequence. I moved mine to after InstallWelcome sequence and achieved my requirement. ... View more

With IS2015 build, it works but with IS2016SP1 build it fails. When i compared the log files from both the builds, this is what found: WORKING BUILD: EXE parcel resolved command line: /SKIPRULES=RebootRequiredCheck /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /Q /INSTANCENAME="MSSQLSERVER" /ACTION="Install" /UpdateEnabled="False" /FEATURES=SQLENGINE,RS,IS,SSMS,ADV_SSMS /HELP="False" /INDICATEPROGRESS="False" /ERRORREPORTING="False" /SQMREPORTING="False" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /FILESTREAMLEVEL="0" /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="BUILTIN\Administrators" /ISSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /TCPENABLED="1" /NPENABLED="0" /SQLSVCACCOUNT="BLaBla" /SQLSVCPASSWORD="**********" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE="Automatic" /RSSVCACCOUNT="BlahBlah" /RSSVCPASSWORD="**********" /RSSVCStartupType="Automatic" /HIDECONSOLE FAILING BUILD: EXE parcel resolved command line: ********** The command lines arguments which i am trying to pass on to the SQL setup.exe are getting converted to ********** Anyone knows how to fix this? Please help. Solution: The way installshield 2016 reads the properties is different then the way IS2015 used to read. So you we replaced the properties with the hardcoded strings and it started working. And the ************ was due to ISHiddenProperties. But FYI, the ISHiddenproperties also donot work properly on IS2016 as it fails to hide the properties in logs after system reboot and resume installation. ... View more
