This is a simple question that I've had a hard time finding an answer to. Could someone please give me some insight as how this is normally handled? Is an upgrade required each time Visual Studio and TFS is updated? Thanks!!

Thank you Cary!:D This worked great. For others that may need more help: This opened my PDF with Internet Explorer. [WindowsFolder]Explorer.exe "[INSTALLDIR]my.pdf" This opened a command window and the opened the PDF with Adobe. The command window did not close until the PDF was closed. However, it was hidden in the background. [SystemFolder]cmd.exe /c "[INSTALLDIR]my.pdf" Custom Action 1. I created a "New EXE" -> "Path referencing a directory" custom action named it CAOpenUpdateDocument. 2. I set the "Working Directory" to my Documents folder path. 3. I set the "Filename & Command line" to [WindowsFolder]Explorer.exe "[DOCUMENTS]my.pdf". [DOCUMENTS] is a sub folder that I created under my applications folder tree. 4. I set "Return Processing" to "Asynchronous (No wait for completion)" SetupCompleteSuccess Dialog 1. I changed the "LaunchReadmeText" on the dialog to "View the [ProductName] [ProductVersion] update document." 2. I added a "DoAction" event to the "OK" "PushButton". a. Event = DoAction b. Argument = CAOpenUpdateDocument c. Condition = LAUNCHREADME Property Manager 1. I added "SHOWLAUNCHREADME" and set it to -1 2. I added "READMEFILETOLAUNCHATEND" and set it to "[DOCUMENTS]PARTPAK Update Document.pdf". Thank you for your help!;)

I'm using IS 2011 pro. When building a patch I go and select my latest install. It is a self extracting exe. I get the dialog that says: "The selected setup is compressed. Patch creation requires that the setup be uncompressed. Would you like InstallShield to create an uncompressed version of this setup now?" I select YES, select a folder for InstallShield to decompress my install, choose ok and get a dialog that states: "The dialog specified is invalid" What does that mean? It decompressed my previous install just fine as it was an MSI. Am I not able to easily patch a compressed EXE? Do I have to install it somewhere, go get the cached MSI, copy it to a temp location and use that to create my patch?:confused: Any help would be appreciated!

Is there a KB article or example on how to launch a PDF from the SetupCompleteSuccess dialog? I found the following kb article that explains pretty simply how to display a readme file using 2011 express. I can't find these settings in 2011 Pro. http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/InstallShield2011Express/IHelpISXDialogsSetupCompleteSuccess.htm Seems to me that you should be able to easily point to PDF file, or any file for that matter, and have it displayed using file associations. Any one know of a way to do this? Is this the only way to do it? http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalID=Q106070 Search for an app that can read a PDF file and then use it to display the file? Any help would be appreciated.

InstallShield 2011

I have moved from Wise to InstallShield 2011 and I'm looking for some best practices help so I set my projects up correctly. I am using Visual Studio 2010 to edit my InstallShield project. Coming from Wise, I have always had a small setup.exe that called the setup.msi. The setup.exe did my checking and installation of prereqs. With InstallShield, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Is it a standard practice still to have a small exe call the msi? If not, this is fine. I just want something or someone to point me in the right direction. If I create a setup.exe and force my application to self heal, it can't b/c the msi cant be found. Is the standard practice to cache the MSI locally in the local app data folder? I'm really just trying to find out what do I need to release to the public that will cause the least amount of problems. If it's setup.exe with all my files compressed then do I cache the MSI somewhere and leave them there forever? The install is about 80mb. It will be downloaded from an internet An help or links would be appreciated!!!
