As I add more Actions IA gets slower and sloooooooooower. Does anyone know if changing the VM heap sizes would help?

During pre-install we check for pre-reqs (IIS, ASP.Net, etc...) If a pre-req is not found, then we Show a Message Dialog with "Cancel and Exit" as the only option. This is all fine and good except in the following 2 cases: (1) Silent install - I would have hoped that the Installer takes the only option available and does a Cancel and Exit, but no, it just continues on. (2) If the Windows close button is selected (Little 'x' at top right corner of dialog) Why doesn't IA disable this button??? So, I want to either rollback or abort the installation if Install gets past the Message Dialog. How do I do this?? There is no Trigger Rollback action for the pre-install phase.

InstallAnywhere 2011

Thanks for the quick response. I don't need to wait for the command to complete to continue with the Install, but I do need it to complete before the installation ends. I did try not "suspending" and the results varied. Most times it worked, but on a few faster machines, the install ended and rebooted before the PS command finished. This left the system in a messed up state and of course no errors in the install log. I'm going to try and work around the problem by killing the Powershell process as the last step in the script. I'll re-post later if that works. Note: Even if it does work, launching a PowerShell script from IA takes a very long to complete.

Thanks for the response. Yes, Both for Platform (WIndows) and for Architecture (Intel 32-bit, intel 64-bit, AMD 64 bit) Should I not check in the installer rules but just check during pre-install?

I tried removing Platforms and Architecures from the "Do not perform on" cell, but my Installer got bigger not smaller....

Wrote a small powershell script for Windows 2008 R2 to enable FTP. When I launch it from IA, using the "Execute Command" action with "Suspend until process completes" checked, the Installer will "suspend" forever. I tried wrapping in a .bat file and using c:\windows\cmd instead of just calling the powershell directly, but both has same behavior. Any help appreciated...

If anyone from InstallAnywhere monitors this forum can you please let us know when this will be fixed? We will be shipping within the next month and I need to know whether I need to change all my resource files or if IA has a patch available.

The only way I could find was as the first step in Pre-Install - (1) save the current $DESKTOP$ variable in an new variable - $SAVE_DESKTOP$ (2) change current $DESKTOP$ variable to where you want the bogus log to go. I just used the $INSTALLER_TEMP_DIR$ since it exists. (NOTE: I did not test what happens if the directory doesn't exist) as the first step in Install (3) reset the $DESKTOP$ variable to $SAVE_DESKTOP$

Don't know if it is the proper way or not, documentation is terrible for this product. And there is no way to debug it :confused: But I had some luck doing the following: (1) Use Modify text file to create a .bat file in the $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ say db.bat The text in the bat file would be your command - don't forget to put quotes around it since the path has spaces: Note: this would all be on one line: "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysql.exe" --user=root --password=root < C:\createqb.sql (2) Execute Command with: cmd /c $USER_INSTALL_DIR$\db.bat (3) delete the bat file.

thanks for the quick response. I was hoping for an InstallAnywhere Action from the Add Action panel. I just found it somewhat limited that a Set action is provided without the corresponding Get action.

thanks for the quick response. Yes, the SSOInstaller is an old wise install executable, I don't believe it supports the -D option like IA does. I am running the .bat file from another IA 2011 install exe. While this is part of the question, what I really like to know is is there is anyway to turn on, or build a debug version of the install that will generate more debug information. thanks again

I'm having the same problems. How can I debug what is happening?? Here is the bat file: set NQ_MAINDIR_SILENT_MODE="$USER_INSTALL_DIR$" set NQ_INSTALL_SKIP_STOPSERVICES=y set NQ_INSTALL_SKIP_VCREDIST=n set NQ_INSTALL_SKIP_DOTNET=y set NQ_INSTALL_SKIP_OVERALLREGIIS=y SSOInstaller.exe -------------- the bat file lives in the setup directory along with the SSOInstaller.exe I run execute command "CMD /C "$SETUP_DIR$$/$SSOInstall.bat" I also tried execute script with the following: cd $SETUP_DIR$ set NQ_MAINDIR_SILENT_MODE="$USER_INSTALL_DIR$" set NQ_INSTALL_SKIP_STOPSERVICES=y set NQ_INSTALL_SKIP_VCREDIST=n set NQ_INSTALL_SKIP_DOTNET=y set NQ_INSTALL_SKIP_OVERALLREGIIS=y SSOInstaller.exe -------------- I also tried without the cd $SETUP_DIR$ Any help on how to debug would be appreciated.
