Thanks a lot. It's an effective workround. But I need to add a space before any error message :mad:

Hi, I built a basic MSI project by InstallSheild 2010. when an error happened, Windows Installer prompted a SetupError dialog (See attachment). The error messge in SetupError dialog is a little weird since there should be a space after period. Is there anyway to modify the error message? When an error happened, does Windows Installer set the error code or error description to some where(like properties)? Anyone has idea about this? Thanks a lot!

I have a MIS baisc project which has two shortcuts. I want to let user choose install shortcuts or not in installation GUI while installing. I knew I can remove the shortcuts from database of MSI file in runtime to reach this goal. However, it will destory the original msi file and a little complex. Is there anyone knows how to prevent install shortcuts in a easier way? Thanks a lot!

Hi Thanks for reply! I just tried to use rollbeck custom action. What I did is first , I created custom action named as "StopService" which will stop a service. I set it as immediate execution. Then I created another custom action named as "StartService" which will start the service. I set it as Rollback Exection. In the sequences, StartService is behind StopService. I hope, when I uninstalled the product, StopService will be called first. Then, if I clicked cancel button, StartServoce will be called. It can just reverse what StopService did. In fact, when I clicked cancel button during, StartService was not be called. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks a lot!!!

I had a basic MSI project. When user uninstall from ""Add or Remove Programs", I will use a custom action to reset some settings. Howerver, if user click "cancal" button, I want to use another custom action to set those settings back. The problem is how can I know user clicked "cancel" button. Anyone has idea about that? Thanks!

I have a Basic MSI Project. In upgrade install, I want to use a CA to copy files to previous install folder. However, in order to protect the install folder, the security of that folder is set as only allow SYSTEM coping files to there. However, MSIEXEC lets the CA runs on local admin context, therefore copy file failed. Can I change some settings in InstallShiled in order to let that CA runs on SYSTEM context? Thanks a lot!

I had a basic msi project. In install package, I signed setup.exe and *.msi. The problem is when I wanted to unisntall my application on Vista which turned UAC on, UAC prompted a message that "An unidentified program wants to access to your computer". If I clicked "details", it shows unidentified Publisher Update [ProductVersion] [CompanyName] Since I alreaday signed setup.exe and *.msi, why did UAC warning about "unidentified Publisher"? And why it shows the unidentified Publisher is "Update", I did not have such file in my package. Anyone knows what's happened? Thanks!

I used a set-property custom action set [INSTALLDIR] as [ProgramFilesFolder]\myfolder. During installing, installer can reslove install directory as c:\program files\myfolder. However, if i used function MsiSetProperty set [INSTALLDIR] to "[ProgramFilesFolder]\myfolder", during installing, installer always complained cannot find path "[ProgramFilesFolder]\myfolder". Seems like, installer cannot resolve [ProgramFilesFolder] in the second way. I didn't why! How can I solve this problem, if I really want to use some methods just like second way? Thanks a lot!

I used MsiSetProperty to set [INSTALLDIR]. If I used this function set installdir as a full path, it works. But can I use this function set INSTALLDIR to [ProgramFilesFolder]\..... or something like that. What is set-a-directory custom action ? Did you the action ResolveSource?
