You may change the string there and rebuild the app. Thank you Musudkhan for your reply. The problem in changing this file is that it can affect other projects being built/generated with the same IA installation. I guess a workaround to that, when doing generation through a script, is to programmatic copy the appropriate version of custom_en to this IA directory and then after generation, copy the original custom_en file back. It is disappointing that IA does not allow reference to copies of the i18n files on a per project basis. Also, this does not allow to give a different title for each of the two screens, which is a requirement from the customer. Is there a way of obtaining a handle to the title, dynamically, through custom code, without changing the text on these files? Regards, David

For my installer, am using "check disk space option" at beginning of install stage, and the standard appropriate message screen appears saying "No available disk space. Please free some space" when there is not enough space, and the title of the screen is: "Not Enough Disk Space". After freeing space, another message screen says that the installation can be made, and the installation can be continued as expected. On this installation can be made screen after freeing disk space, the standard title: 'Not Enough Disk Space' still appears, and I have received a requirement that for this screen only, there should be a different title. Can this be done, and how easily? I am using IA 2011 SP3. Thanks in advance, David

Thank you, SunnyBoy, for your reply. Could there be a possibilty, during pre-uninstall, of obtaining a reference to the log file whilst it is still in the temp directory and using the "Modify Text File" action to append my own text? David

Am using SP 3. I create a log during uninstall and want to write to this log my own messages during silent uninstallation. For silent installation, I can do this by using CustomError service on InstallerProxy. This I obtain as follows:- CustomError error = (CustomError)ip.getService(CustomError.class); and then use standard method calls on error. This does not work for UninstallerProxy, and according to the documentation it seems this service is not supported for this proxy. So, how can I write my own messages to the relevant log file during uninstallation time? Many thanks, David

My not being able to run a command in silent mode was also because of using an encrypted variable as one of the arguments. I see that Action Groups in install stage is not properly supported, and cannot copy/paste to this like in pre-install etc.. Am not sure how I managed to have the original action group there to begin with. David Z.

Another reason for the installation stopping in silent mode was because of an encrypted field. I actually need to recheck my assertion concerning the use of action groups as a possible reason. Having removede reference to encrypted field, am now having an issue with running commands in silent mode. No reference to an attempt to run a command is given in the log. Do I need to use specific setting in "Execute Command" dialog? Many thanks, David

Have now solved this. 🙂 It was because I used an Action Group in the install phase, where there was only logic. I knew that Action Groups with the file hierachy was problematic as it considers this as an o/s folder rather than a logical collection of actions. Where I wanted to make a group, I named the folder $EMPTY_STRING$ and this works for GUI and Console installatiions. This also does not give a problem for SILENT mode. In this case, where the contents of the Action Group are purely logical actions, the action group did not give a problem for the interactive modes but now for silent mode, neither does naming the group $EMPTY_STRING$ work. This means that I have to move all the actions in the groups to the top level and then copy and append all the rules from the group to each action that was in the group. 😞 In install phase, is there any way to implement logical groups that are not connected with the file hierarchy?

The bundled JVM is not being installed when doing silent install, but the installation just stops after it creates the jre directory. The log in the making, which is in the temp directory appears as follows:- Install Log Detail: Check Disk Space: C:\Program Files\my_install_dir Status: SUCCESSFUL Custom Action: com.mine.action.AnAction Status: SUCCESSFUL Custom Action: com.mine.action.AnotherAction Status: SUCCESSFUL Check Disk Space: C:\Program Files\my_install_dir Status: SUCCESSFUL Install Directory: C:\Program Files\my_install_dir\jre Status: SUCCESSFUL Do I need to put anything extra in the response file? What else could be causing this? Many thanks, David

I think I managed to solve the problem. Recreated the launch anywhere using advanced designer. The final installer file, now installs without this fatal error.

After building an installer project and then trying to perform installation from this, there appears the following error message, and the installation is rolled back. I am using IA2011 SP3 . ZeroGcz: No zip file found for entry: C_/ /images/MyIcon.ico There is an almost identical (and stable) existing installation of this project that was created a few days ago where this does not happen. On textual comparison of the iap_xml files, the only difference are the path names as this new installation is in a different directory hierarchy. The error happens from installations, whether the build is from using GUI or from doing a command line build. What might be effecting is, that a few days ago I reregisterd the license so that I can do command line installations, and this meant deleting C:\Users\ \InstallAnywhere\125 so that it is regenerated. (Since having SP3 there was an error message with command line builds, and so made do with GUI builds until now. Dealing with the above alleviated this.) I had to recreate the Source Path mappings, and these take into account the new directory hierarchy that I am now using. Would appreciate any help that I can receive. With Many thanks, David PS I also reset the path mapping of the ico file in the Launch Anywhere action.

I have check disk space enabled for my application, and the following is written to the log:- Check Disk Space: C:\Program Files\My_App Status: SUCCESSFUL Additional Notes: NOTE - Required Disk Space: 207,800,332; Free Disk Space: 480,226,000,853 Since I explicitly write to the log, elsewhere, the disk space in MB, I do not need these messages. Is there a way to disable these automated messages? (it confuses the customers.) Even better still, is there a way to force the reporting here to be in MB or at least have the units (Bytes) written as part of this message? I could not find a possibility in the API. Thank you in advance. David PS I succeed in writing the disk space explicity to the log using the relevant variables - where I need help is controlling the system generated messages.

Is it possible to debug custom code action with IA11 (SP3) , and if so how? Thank you for your attention. David
