Hi rguggisberg, Using system search I read the value and put it in DOTNETVERSION45FULL and check the condition as you mentioned, but not able to do so. Actually we want to compare the version using installscript if no other option is there to do this, can you please suggest if there is any way to do this. In future if Microsoft launches .Net framework 5.x also we need to consider Thanks in advance ... View more

Thank you rguggisberg and PlinyElder ... View more

I would try right after RemoveFiles in the 'Install Execute' sequence. You probably want to use 'Deferred Execution in System Context'. If you continue to have trouble put MessageBoxes at the start and end of your CA. Then you can look to verify that only the files you expect are in the folder when you enter the CA; that the files are gone as expected when the CA finishes; and that the new files are populated after that. ...

It may be because your config file has a newer date than the one in the msi. If that is the case it will not be replaced, unless you have file versioning on your config file. ... View more

Thank in advanve Just add removals for those from the Files and Folders view. But be careful not to delete any user data! Windows Installer is careful about not touching files that have a different modify time stamp (because this strongly hints that the file could be something that the user wants to keep). If the creation time stamp and the modify time stamp are identical, then Windows Installer removes the file because it's no different than what it installed to begin with (and therefore there's no chance that it contained important data that the user may want to keep.) ...

I just found this code in one of my custom actions. This is a CLR project so .NET would be a requirement for this. [CODE]using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.ServiceProcess; using System.IO; namespace ModifyACServices { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string serviceCmd = args[0].ToUpper(); if (serviceCmd == "STOP") { StopService("AmazingChartsAdminService"); StopService("AmazingChartsService"); StopService("Amazing Charts Auth Service"); } if (serviceCmd == "START") { StartService("AmazingChartsAdminService"); StartService("AmazingChartsService"); StartService("Amazing Charts Auth Service"); } if (serviceCmd == "STOPSQL") { StopService("MSSQL$AMAZINGCHARTS"); } if (serviceCmd == "STARTSQL") { StartService("MSSQL$AMAZINGCHARTS"); } } static void StopService(string pServiceName) { if (ServiceExists(pServiceName)) { ServiceController service = new ServiceController(pServiceName); if (service.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Running)) { try { service.Stop(); service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped); service.Refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Users\Public\InstallResults\ErrorReturn.txt", e.Message); //If it fails we will not worry about it for the installer } } } } static void StartService(string pServiceName) { if (ServiceExists(pServiceName)) { ServiceController service = new ServiceController(pServiceName); if (service.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.StopPending)) { service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped); service.Refresh(); } if (service.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)) { try { service.Start(); service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running); service.Refresh(); } catch { //Sometimes the service will just not start for some reason due to installation errors, but do not want install to hang so inserting try catch } } } } static bool ServiceExists(string pServiceName) { try { ServiceController[] scServices; scServices = ServiceController.GetServices(); foreach (ServiceController scTemp in scServices) { if (scTemp.ServiceName == pServiceName) { return true; } } } catch (Exception e) { System.IO.File.WriteAllText(@"C:\Users\Public\InstallResults\ErrorReturn.txt", e.Message); } return false; } } } [/CODE] To implement this you would build your C# custom action. Add the EXE to your suite project as an event file. Add the Argument STOP | START | etc This implementation will allow the suite to stop services for uninstall, or patching, etc. And then after the update, install is complete, then start services. ...
