Hi Christopher, Our Setup application includes Third-Party installations which require admin user and UAC=off. Both the third-party vendors and our application write to system folders. Thus, UAC must be turned off before installation begins. We encountered several cases where UI or silent Setup failed due to UAC no being turned off. Until Win7, enableLUA registry entry was checked. What can be checked in Win8? Does Installshield has such built-in capability? Thanks ... View more

So far, I had done this successfully using the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA key. On WIN8, this key is no longer initialized when setting UAC on/off, therefore no longer usable for UAC detection. I would appreciate your help with this, Thanks, Sharon. We're encountered in the same qustion as well - Please advice. Thanks, Yona ... View more

Hi, I've an installation file that contains dozens of components – Only three of them are define as dynamic file linking. The setup is already released to many customers and I can't change/fix it. Now I need to create a patch and each time it failed with the following error: ISDEV : warning Val0015: The CreateFolder table contains new content. Therefore, if you are packaging this upgrade as a patch, you will not be able to make it an uninstallable patch. New ID are generated for the dynamic files linking in each build and therefore I got this error. Does anyone have an idea how to solved this problem? How can I make any work around to create patches "includes" dynamic file linking Please note – I will have to create many patches for this version so one time solution is not good for me Please advice Many Thanks ...

I compare by mistake the ISM files instead of the MSI files and therefore I did not find the differences – Now, I can see the differences in CreateFolder table. You can see the differences in the attachment - Do you have any idea what can causes these differences? Are these cause/changed due to folder that define as dynamic files? How can I solved it? Thanks ... View more

The main question remains: If I change the destination folder (after noticed that there is not enough space in the default location ) - How can I run again costfinalize so the Installshield will now look up in the new destination folder?? The logics are working OK: Run the Setup ---> Default ---> Ready to install ----> Not enough diskspace in C:\ ---> Custom Setup ----> change destination dialog ---> ready to install dialog ----> again not enough diskspace in C:\ (although we chose another destination with 20GB free ! (we are checking with a 1kb file! ). Is there something to add to the event when changing the destination folder? Something to tell the installshield to calculate again for the new destination?? ...

An EXE, DLL, InstallScript, or VBScript action could be used depending on how you would like to author the custom action. Note that if your project includes more than 32,767 files through static and dynamic file links, InstallShield should automatically switch the template MSI used at build time to create a release MSI to a template that uses a larger column size for the File.Sequence column; warning -6651 is logged if this situation occurs. Yes, i want to do it by InstallScript as custom action - what is the Install Script command to Compress/Uncompressed ZIP file? My project includes more than 32,767 files through dynamic file links. And the InstallShield doesn't automatically switch the template MSI used at build time to create a release MSI to a template that uses a larger column size for the File. My Compilation failed on Build Error 5023 - certainly i prefer to do it nationality by increase the limit of a database column. As i wrote i tried with no success 😞 ... View more
