Summary
Error 7354 occurs when building a project with a shortcut or feature or string name with more than 8 characters.
-7354: The English (United States) value for string 'ID_STRING2' does not contain a legitimate value for table Directory column DefaultDir
-7354: The English (United States) value for string 'ID_STRING3' does not contain a legitimate value for table Shortcut column Name
Project Types
Basic MSI
InstallScript MSI
Express Project
Cause
Error 7354 was added to InstallShield 2016 and higher builds due to Microsoft string validations that were previously missing.
Error 7354 occurs when InstallShield attempts to create any string with more than 8 characters on a machine where NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is not enabled.
Resolution:
The user needs to enable the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation option on the machine. A Windows short name has 8 characters for the name and 3 characters for the file extension. Windows long names exceed 8 characters for the name. The suggested resolution works by enabling Windows short names. Follow these steps:
Click Start > Run.
Enter regedit and click OK.
In the Windows Registry Editor, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
Right-click the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation entry.
Select Modify from the drop-down menu. The Edit DWORD Value dialog opens.
In the Value data textfield, enter: 2
Click OK to close the dialog.
You should see a message as follows:
The registry state of NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is X...
State Values:
0 = 8.3 file creation is enabled on all volumes on the system
1 = 8.3 file creation is disabled on all volumes on the system
2 = 8.3 file creation is enabled per volume on the system (default)
3 = 8.3 file creation is DISABLED on all volumes except the system volume

Summary
Set All Component 64bit option to “YES “using Installshield Automation Interface script
Symptoms
In a project which contains a large amount of components changing 64bit option to YES manually is time consuming.
Resolution
It is possible to use Installshields Automation Interface functionality to automate this process. The example below uses vbscript code to set all the component 64 bit option to YES.
You can run the script using vbs editor or you can run the script using “wscript.exe” in cmdlet.
Path to wscript.exe “C:\Windows\System32>wscript.exe”
'Create project object for InstallShield 2019
Set pProject = CreateObject("ISWiAuto25.ISWiProject")
'Open project your project ism file
pProject.OpenProject "<Path to ISM File>"
'set 64 bit option to YES for single component
Set pComponent = pProject.ISWiComponents.Item("<Your Component name>")
pComponent.Attrib64BitComponent = "True"
'Set 64 bit option to YES for all component in ISM
Set pComponent = pProject.ISWiComponents
‘Msgbox pComponent.Count
For Each pComponent in pProject.ISWiComponents
'Setting Component to 64bit
pComponent.Attrib64BitComponent = "True"
'Setting Dot Scan option to None
pComponent.DotNetScanAtBuild = 0
Next
'Adding a Product Config and Release
pProject.AddProductConfig("Prod config").AddRelease("Release")
'Set an existing product configuration
Set productconfig = pProject.ISWiProductConfigs.Item("Prod config")
'Set and existing release
Set Release = productconfig.ISWiReleases("Release")
'Build the release
Release.Build()
'Save and close
pProject.SaveProject
pProject.CloseProject

Symptoms:
“Feature Transfer Error:142” Observed on installing Installscript created setup.exe
Diagnosis:
This information applies to the following InstallShield project types:
InstallScript
When we set a password for setup.exe from release view but not setting the dialog “Show password Dialog” to NO and creating the setup.exe. on installing the setup.exe user will see an error “Feature Transfer Error:142”
Solution:
To avoid error “Feature Transfer Error:142”, make sure you remove the password from the setup.exe à password filed on releases view.
Else if you want to continue using password then make sure you set the field “Show password Dialog” to YES Then you will get a dialog to enter the password

Hi Fernandl,
Thanks for your response and thanks for sharing screenshot,
It looks like you have custom msm files and that files are missing, is this project is upgraded from any earlier version like from IS2016 to IS2020?
The small yellow triangle in the redistributables indicate those msm are missing
If Yes then you need to copy those missing from that older version of installshield to new IS2020 installshield folder
by default installshield shipped msm are available in this below path,
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2020\Modules\i386
You need to check in your older IS machine and copy those missing msm and paste it to latest IS2020 merge module location.

Vijay.A
