Localized files are now being delivered even though the condition for the feature does not match the language of the machine. Our Chinese runtime files are being delivered and the Arabic files are being delivered to the same location. The machine that the product is being installed on is English. The features that deliver the Chinese and Arabic files test the UserLanguageID against the codes for Chinese and Arabic. It is as if the conditions are always evaluating to True and the files are always delivered. We have isolated the problem to builds after December 2019. Before that we never had this problem. Neither the product .ism file nor the .dim files that contain the localized files have changed. We were wondering if some Windows Update may be causing a problem. Has anyone else seen something similar? ... View more

I created a DIM file by exporting components from an existing .ism file. Then I built the DIM file successfully. The .msi from the DIM file build has the exported components with files and looks good. Ran the unit test .msi file and the files were installed. I then removed exported components from the feature in my .ism and added the DIM refrence to my .ism and associated it with the feature. Built the .ism with no errors. The .msi built from the main installer .ism does not have the components that are in the DIM file. No one else here has ever tried to export to DIMs. They have always built DIMs from scratch. What is the magic to make exporting components to a DIM file actually work and install files? ... View more

I add MyTestProperty in Property Manager and initialize to the value true. In the User Interface sequence (before the SetupProgress dialog): I set MyTestProperty via a Set Property custom action to the value false. I display MyTestProperty via InstallScript custom action using SprintfBox() and I see that the value is false. In the Execute sequence (first action): I display MyTestProperty via InstallScript custom action using SprintfBox() and I see that the value is true. Is there no way to set a property in the UI sequence and be able to use that value in the Execute sequence? ... View more

I get a dialog (attached) at run time if I include the redistributable for DCOM95. The dialog appears twice and must be dismissed each time in order for the setup to continue. This does not happen in IS 11.5 but does happen in IS 2008. This is annoying but not critical. I just have no explanation for this behavior. Can anyone else reproduce this? The title in the dialog is the product name. ... View more
