Hi, is it possible to get the ProductVersion in a Custom Action using a BasicMSI project? The ProductVersion is always empty. Even in an InstallScript the ProductVersion property is empty. I tried the following code: function MyFunction(hMSI) // To Do: Declare local variables. STRING svResult; NUMBER nvSize; begin // To Do: Write script that will be executed when MyFunction is called. nvSize = 256; MsiGetProperty (ISMSI_HANDLE, "ProductVersion", svResult, nvSize); MessageBox (svResult, INFORMATION); end; Any advice? Thank you.

How can you install a Basic MSI setup multiple times? An answer to this question would solve my problem I think. EDIT: I have managed to install a Basic MSI setup multiple times by adding instances in the "Multiple Instances" tab. But now I am still having problems installing the windows service multiple times. It seems that the service always gets overwritten by the latest installation. What makes the windows service unique? Is it the "Component Code" of the component or the "Key Name" of the windows service? Thanks in advance Christoph

Hi, I am using the InstallShield 2012 Premier Edition. I have a Basic MSI project where I install a service. The user can set how the service should be named with a custom dialog. Now I want to install the service multiple times under different names by starting the same setup again. How can I accomplish this task? Thanks in advance Christoph

Hi, I would like to grant the user the possibility to install the windows service under their desired user account. I am using the InstallScript MSI-technique so I added the following code in my installscript: nResult = SdLogonUserInformation ( szTitle , szMsg , szAssociatedAccountName , szAssociatedPassword ); if (nResult = NEXT ) then MsiSetProperty(ISMSI_HANDLE,"SERVICEUSERNAME", szAssociatedAccountName); MsiSetProperty(ISMSI_HANDLE,"SERVICEPASSWORD", szAssociatedPassword); endif; The problem is that I cannot install the Service under the LocalSystem account. When I leave the username and password field empty a dialogue appear telling me NOT to leave the fields empty. How can I install the windows service under the LocalSystem account while still using the SDLogonUserInformation dialogue? Thanks in advance

Now I have created a new dialog with an edit field on it. I called its property STARTMENUFOLDER. The default value of the property is my company name. The dialog works fine but I still want to customize the start menu path with this property. The following attempt failed: In Short Cuts menu in InstallShield add [STARTMENUFOLDER] as display name. Now the program gets installed under "[STARTMENUFOLDER]/Program Name/" in the start menu. How can I access the property to create the proper start menu short cut? Thanks in advance Christoph

Hi, I am using a Basic MSI project. Do I have to create my own dialog or are there any built in dialogs to solve it? Christoph

Hi, I am using the InstallShield 2012 Premier Edition. Is it possible to let the end user decide in which folder in the windows start menu the program appears? The common way is to create a shortcurt like "Start Menu" --> "Company Name" --> "Product Name". I would like to customize the installtion wizard so the user can edit this start menu path. Thanks in advance Christoph
