Appreciate you posting the resolution to this problem. You just saved me a lot of frustration.

Either that or remove all code that doesn't relate to REMOVEALL. Since you are running program . . . endprogram, you have complete control over the function since Installshield will never automatically execute it.

So when a user launches setup.exe on a machine that already has your product installed, you would like it to behave in the same way as if the user was in Add/Remove Programs (remove only option)? In that case, your best bet may be to modify the OnMaintUIBefore event so it is forced into the REMOVEALL branch of code. Of course, if you are using the program . . . endprogram stream you'll have to call the event explicitly, probably based on the MAINTENANCE property. Hope this helps.

In the General Information section, Add or Remove Programs area, if you set the Disable Change Button property to YES, would this not resolve your issue?

I have the same set up as you are describing and I do not have the same problems you're describing. I know this doesn't help you, but it may not be IS that is the problem.

evan, Installshield is planning to deprecate the use of objects in the future (I have already called, emailed, and posted here my opinion that they should rethink this). I believe you will always get this message if you have a merge module or other object included in your installer, even "new" offerings.

I don't know if I'll be of much help to you but I also migrated an InstallScript project from 2010 to 2011. My prerequisite was the base .NET Framework 3.5 (not SP1), and when I go into Prerequisites I see .NET Framework 3.5 twice in the list in the same places you saw your prereq. I only see .NET 3.5 SP1 once. So I'm suspecting the one at the bottom of the list is there because of the migration of the project. Interestingly, my prerequisite was installed appropriately using the 2011 build, so I'm betting if you have problems with the installer not recognizing your prereq is not installed, it's probably due to the prereq itself rather than the fact you migrated from an earlier version. Also (file this under stupid question), your prerequisite does say "installed locally" rather than "needs to be downloaded"? I had to re-download the prereq after migrating because 2011 looks in a different folder than 2010 by default for its prereqs. As for seeing the same prereq twice, I have not tried this, but I wonder, if you remove the prerequisite and rebuild the project, then go back to Prerequisites, will it still be there twice?

I have upgraded an Installscript project from IS2010 to IS2011. The project includes the DotNetCrystalReports merge module. This was a clean build in IS2010, but now when building the installer in IS2011 I receive multiple warnings about 1) objects being deprecated in the future (okay, thanks for the heads up) and 2) could not locate dependent files that are included in the merge modules. I'd like to know what needs to be done to make the second type of warning go away. Does IS2011 no longer look at the merge modules for dependent files?

Agree with Michael on this, particularly his concern about dynamically determining the need to install an object based on feature selection. It does not appear we have the same flexibility with prerequisites. Or perhaps if we do, a documented approach from InstallShield regarding transitioning from merge modules/objects to prerequisites would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to accomplish what I needed to do by using FileInsertLine. It doesn't format the XML file properly (tabs in the correct places, etc.), but the application takes care of that the first time it references the file anyway. I will use this for now until IS relaxes this requirement in future releases.

Live support has indicated this is a limitation of the software and has logged an item to have the value extended. In the meantime I'm apparently left with the FileGrep and WriteLine as a "possible" workaround. This is not good.

I have an Installscript project where I call SdFeatureTree. I have a condition where I want to be able to install a certain feature (feature B) ONLY if a related feature (feature A) is installed. However, it is acceptable for feature A to be installed and not feature B. My thought was to make feature B a subfeature of feature A, but I'm finding that when I select feature A, feature B is also selected, and vice versa. How can I make this relationship work the way I've described above?

MichaelU, It is both. Ultimately I will use a property to populate the value, but I also went into the interface, typed 259 characters, and the software refused to allow me to add anything beyond that. So I don't think the limitation is with the property (I also did a TextSubSetValue to add the long string to the property, then immediately called TextSubGetValue to verify the property wasn't being truncated).

That's always how it is. The funny this is as I was typing up the reply you posted that you found the problem. Anyway, maybe somebody wiill stumble into this thread and find the information useful. Glad you found what you needed.
