Looks like you can't use the Maintenance mode _ISMaintenance variable. You just use REMOVE="ALL" instead for the condition and it picks up when you are uninstalling. Then all you have to do is add it to the exec sequence where you want it to run (because form the control panel is just like running in silent "/s" mode). Maybe someone else can use this.

setup.exe /s /v"/qn" /v"PROPERTY=PropertyValue" /v"PROPERTYTWO=PropertyTwoValue" /v"INSTALLDIR=\"c:\Where\ever\"" I could be wrong but I do not think you can change private properties(propertis in Upper and Lower case) in the manner! I forget but i don't even thing you need the multiple "/v": setup.exe /s /v"/qn" /v"PROPERTY=PropertyValue PROPERTYTWO=PropertyTwoValue" and you need to quote if spaces in property values: setup.exe /s /v"/qn" /v"PROPERTY=PropertyValue PROPERTYTWO=\"Property Two Value\""

figured it out... had a CA that was higher in the sequences than the Launch Conditions... the CA needed 4.0 so it was failing before the prereq could catch that 4.0 framework wasn't installed Thanks for everyone who took a look at my post

Hi, Can anybody help me out in this. I am trying to link my custom values of combo box with specific features of my Suite. I am not able to link one specific dropdown value with individual feature. I am unaware of using {Binding Feature} Syntax. If someone can please guide me through step by step process of adding values and conditions to activate my dropbox I would really appreciate it. Regards..

You can target Windows 8 and Windows 8 Server systems (at least the current community versions). There's new UI stuff available for Pro users. Powershell custom actions appear to be supported. You can configure network shares on install. New terminate custom action to help with killing off a process. You use to have to do some custom work to do this.

Well, you see I have been passed the IS portion of my project from another developer. The other developer was using 2009 to build our last release for our product. We just upgraded 2012. I imported the all of the old 2009 projects into 2012 and was using the Project Assistant to select "Single EXE" to export the Project to be used in a Suite project. We had multiple Basic project to install each of our features. I have been given the task of bringing these into one installer. I see now that the original Basic MSI project are not building the EXE files correctly. I thought that maybe it was the way I was building the EXEs through the Project Assistant was causing the EXE to fail... I think maybe it's the transition from 2009 to 2012.

The first answer, answered the second one. I have a command line going from the suite project to the Basic project. Then I have a "second" command line passing the values from the Basic project to the Components through the .NET Installer Class Arguments. That was what I was calling the "second" command line. I think this will work... thanks so much!

Since the Basic MSI project type allows you to output the package as msi or exe , it doesn't matter to me which one I use. Which would be a preferred package type? Is the Suite project type what would suit me better to accomplish my single install or would another project type be better? Thanks

Sure. That's not the way we recommend crafting such a suite, but it can do so. Just be sure to set up your detection and eligibility conditions correctly for the installation in question.

Looks like all of the strange things hapening with my feature tree has to do with two of my features/packages... when I remove the two in question, the tree starts work exactly as you describe... all are checked by default when I run the project and none are installed when I deselect them all (unlike before, it tried to install them all if I deselected all of the features)... I have no idea why the features made the tree to act crazy

yes if you want to create an suite that has multiple features and each pointing to call one exe yes but dont try this because it has many fall backs like you cant set the sequences properly.or else you can create an basic msi this too can do that..

So, I can not continue to use the theme that was created to control the look and feel of my install. I just have to use the styles to make it look like the theme... thanks.
