When double clicking on a file .bp7 which is the custom file extension in windows for our SQLite database it should open up our application with it. This is fine in our previous version. Also it is fine for the current installation if the previous version is uninstalled manually and then this new one is installed. HOWEVER if the new one is installed over the top of the old one then the file association results in "Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product . The Windows Installer cannot continue." Its trying to look for the .msi file in C:\Users\DANIEL~1.BRO\AppData\Local\Temp\{14E757C3-B00B-4179-99C4-4960C2064602}\ Why on earth does it need to do that the file association is just supposed to launch our application with the file? Why is it looking for the msi in the temp location... doesn't windows store the files in the ProgramData Package Cache? If I drag the file onto the application .exe then it opens fine. Does someone know the root cause of this issue? This new installation is a bit more complex because it handles both x86 and x64 where as the previous one was only x86. x64;1033 vs Intel;1033 I don't want to tell our users to manually uninstall the existing version the install the new one... as InstallShield should be able to do all this as the major update. Or does my 64-bit compatible installer break some rules?

So the same approach for 32bit and 64bit can be used to create a Custom Field to override the path the files are installed to at run time by using release flags. The problem I now face is that the 64bit files I create all have a ".NET Application File" set to [ProgramFiles64Folder]Release 1\File.dll And I am overriding INSTALLDIR to the new location. This is fine for the 32bit files because they are all [INSTALLDIR]Release 1\File.dll I can't over type the .NET Application File value so now have change the Custom Action from overridding ProgramFiles64Folder instead of INSTALLDIR. *Sigh*. No better way to design the user interface for causal users like myself so its easier to setup and manage this?

Hi can I get some information on the best approach to handle multiple releases of our program? The quick example is for the normal release of the product and a BETA release. The BETA release would have to go into its own directory and have its own product code. Also I have 32bit and 64bit releases plus two other releases. I have many combinations. the 32bit and 64bit are handled by different features so they always go into the program files x86 and program files fodlers. The issue I have is getting the normal, beta, other 1 and other 2 builds using this same installshield proejct to go into different folders. i.e. Program Files x86\Release1 Program Files x86\Release2 Program Files x86\Release3 Program Files x86\Release4 Each installation needs to be isolated from the others. I.e. I am creating specific installers for each release using the same installshield project. I have the releases > General > Product Code and upgrade code information set for each release. I can't see any easy user experience for me to manage and set different installation folders. Does this feature exist? I tried looking into multiple instances but I find the documenation and examples lacking for this issue. Is the only way to do this custom actions? Surely this approach is need by many software companies to release normal and beta installations?

Additional post for me and anyone else that gets the issue. -prqpath Basic MSI, InstallScript, InstallScript MSI This parameter specifies one or more comma-delimited folders that contain the InstallShield prerequisite files (.prq) that are referenced by your project. InstallShield provides additional ways for specifying the folders that contain InstallShield prerequisite files. For more information, see Specifying the Directories that Contain InstallShield Prerequisites. http://helpnet.installshield.com/installshield21helplib/helplibrary/ISCmdBldParam.htm#ref-command-linetools_942613717_1033924 Thanks again DLee65 for the guidance

DandamanAUS · ‎Jan 15, 2018

Oh thank you very much DLee65 for the registry info! I did find them at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\InstallShield\21.0\Professional\Project Settings the WOW6432Node part did make me have to search for PrerequisiteSearchPath to find it. I did mange to fix the issue by copying the prq files back into C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014\SetupPrerequisites because i moved instead of copied from C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014 SAB\SetupPrerequisites But now I know about the registry I am just going to update that so later on when I make changes to the SAB folder I know they will be used. So I guess the question is how come when I uninstalled the IDE and installed the Standalone it didn't update the registry values? The uninstall leaves the registry values I guess and the SAB installer didn't update existing ones. SAB and IDE must then use the same reg values. Well thats a trap when changing a computer form IDE to SAB. Saving this page for later.

So the file C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014 SAB\SetupPrerequisites\Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86).prq contains the following: The file is there in \SetupPrerequisites\VC 2010 SP1 Redist\x86\vcredist_x86.exe So what is "<ISProductFolder>\ ??? ISProductFolder = C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014 SAB? or something else?

Hi I was naughty and had the professional installation of installshield on our build server and not just the standalone build software. I have since moved the GUI professional to my desktop and installed the SAB on the server. (licenced them both as well) The issue I have though with this is that we installShield is built it does not find the prerequsisites. I copied all the prerequsistes from C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014\SetupPrerequisites to C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2014 SAB\SetupPrerequisites But it still does not find them... Where are they supposed to go?

Hey I believe you need to login to https://flexerasoftware.flexnetoperations.com/control/inst/login?nextURL=%2Fcontrol%2Finst%2Findex then release the licence from your old server and then register it for your new one.

OK So running as Administrator is not the fix. It appears that the installer will only do what its supposed to once the following is done to the registry... To enable Windows Installer logging To enable Windows Installer logging yourself,*open*the registry by using Regedit.exe, and then create the following subkey and keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer Reg_SZ: Logging Value: voicewarmupx From I had done this before and didn't think it was the solution but in a brand new VM its the only way to get the Scripts to Deploy!!!

Ok So I updated InstallShield to 2016 and I thought that solved the issue for 2012 but still caused 2016 to not actually create the databases in the SQL server. While looking through the logs I had a idea to run the installer as Administrator. It installed everything and created the databases without error. It turns out that the Required Execution Level of the installer is set to Highest available. The information provide is: Highest Available-setup.exe prefers administrative privileges. Administrators must authorise it; non-administrators run it without administrative privileges. So the Administrator account for windows servers has enough credentials to install the application binaries, C++, Crystal Reports, SQL Server Express but does not have enough privileges to run sql scripts on the very SQL Server it created? Am I the only one that thinks this is odd? So where does the fault lie? With InstallShield 2016 SP1, Microsoft windows MSI script itself or with my setting of Required Execution Level? I think InstallShield 2016 & InstallShield SP1 2016 is to blame since my InstallShield 2014 installer which this one is based off installs the databases without error!

Hi Support, I am not sure if this is specifc to the issue I am having or not but I found this error while diagnosing. Error extracting ISBEW64.exe from ISLockPermissions.dll My installer will deploy SQL Scripts to the SQL Server 2016 SP1 Express my installation can now deploy. This all works fine on my windows 8.1 64-bit desktop. In my Azure windows test servers 64-bit 2016 and 64-bit 2012 they both fail. 2012 fails with a windows crash. where as 2016 completes fine but doesn't deploy the SQL scripts. Attached is the file MSIa9eb0.LOG from the 2012 server as I enabled logging. (voicewarmupx) Windows log when it dies: Faulting application name: MsiExec.exe, version: 5.0.9200.21523, time stamp: 0x557c2cf7 Faulting module name: MSIC1CA.tmp, version: 23.0.0.288, time stamp: 0x57b883ff Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x0004b578 Faulting process id: 0x788 Faulting application start time: 0x01d28259c3c5a445 Faulting application path: C:\Windows\syswow64\MsiExec.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIC1CA.tmp Report Id: 15157969-ee4d-11e6-93fe-000d3ad0f70f Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

Could Flexera possibly remove functions it does not support so I don't get a unhelpful error message like Error while generating script: "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '*'. (102)" When using the option "Script Defaults".

DandamanAUS · ‎Feb 06, 2017

InstallSiheld 2016 still does not support Script database users and database roles??

DandamanAUS · ‎Feb 06, 2017

Yes I have this problem as i am fixing up my installer to use SQL Server 2016. Did you get a solution or workaround?
