This is the exact thing I am looking. It looks like the package option is not available for Installshield 2016. But anyway I will explore more on this. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the response.
Actually in our case there could be different versions of .msi file. So if we didn't uninstall, then the user would see many .msi in the add or remove programs.
Asking to user to uninstall will also not be a option for us, because each Setup will be linked with different .msi version. So if the user by mistake uninstall the wrong one, the product won't work.
So it looks like we don't have a concept of shared components in chained installation.

Consider a case where I have installshield software which installs a .msi through chained installation. Let's say it's Setup-1.
Now I have another setup Setup-2 which installs the same .msi through chained installation.
Now if I uninstall either of the setup (Setup-1 or Setup-2), it is uninstalling the chained msi. So the other setup cannot use it which leads to a problem. Only when both are uninstalled, it should be uninstalled. It should be something like shared components.
How to avoid this scenario?

I saw the logs. It is resetting to default value when the MSI engine is done, which means when we are at the SuccessCompleted dialog page all the public properties are resetted. Yes, I already tried to set the property using custom action set property. That also resets. BUT I found the problem why it resets. I just added the Install Exec sequence for the custom action, if we want to have the properties sustain, then we need to set the UI sequence too.

In the property manager create a sample property "PROPERTY_TO_TEST" and set it to 0. Add a new function in install script and use MsiSetProperty to set the value to 1. At the end of installation catch the event during Finish button click and if we read the value of the property it is '0'. The installer is resetting the properties to default value. In my case I have a property which refers to some path and during Finish button click, I need to use the path for launching something from that path. Since the properties are resetting, I am not able to use it. I even added the property in secure custom property, still it resets. Any thoughts on how I could restore the property value?

Our product is using Basic MSI to create setup.exe (IS 2016). We do have lot of files and hence we have the following settings in settings.xml file to create multiple cab files if it exceeds certain limit. <CompressedNetworkCABSize default="600"/> Since the file size is more already it is creating around 2 cab files. Recently the setup fails with the following error ISDEV : fatal error -7108: %s is too large to store in a .cab (2 GB maximum) The size of the data2.cab file exceeds 2 GB and hence we got this error. But why it is not creating a new cab file?

we are trying to install an update for .net framework 4.8 as part of pre-requisites. However when installing the setup, it reboots the machine without any pop-up even after giving /norestart The following is the command given in 'Application To Run' tab. /q /norestart /log "%temp%\dotNetFx48-KB4519568.log" Return code to reboot is given as 1641, 3010 The same command is given for other .NET installation (.net 4.8 and other update for 4.8). But either it asks for reboot or it silently passes the installation, only for this particular update it reboots without any request.

The easiest thing would be to set "Require Administrative Privileges" to Yes in the Summary Information Stream section of the General Information View. This will cause the UAC prompt to appear when the Setup.exe starts and non-admins won't have a username/password combination to satisfy the prompt, so the installation will not proceed. Will that work for you? Already "Require Administrative Privileges" is set to yes. Also even now installation is not proceeding. If we double click basically nothing happens. The problem is with sample install shield it is throwing the error message. Also with the existing Setup.exe, it used to throw error message before.

When a non-admin user tries to install setup.exe it should throw the below error message as per our Installshield condition. "You did not log on as Administrator or have required permissions to install " But recently when we tried to install setup as non-admin it didn't throw any error. When Setup.exe is executed, nothing happens. Condition: AdminUser AND Privileged : message -> You did not log on as Administrator or have required permissions to install Initially we thought some windows update could have caused the issue. But when I created a sample setup.exe it throws the error. How to identify why my setup.exe stopped to throw the error message. Note : No file generated in %temp% folder when running setup.exe. If we double click or, giving Run as Admin nothing happens. Also Requires Administrative Privileges is given Yes.

I have a registry entry as below RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE); szKey = "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Installer\\UserData\\S-1-5-18\\Products\\00004109610090400000000000F01FEC"; nResult = RegDBKeyExist(szKey); In my registry, the above key exists. But the value returned is -1. If I search for key exists till 'products', it returns 1 properly. The product key is spelled right, because I copied from registry. What could be the problem? Please leave your inputs
