Just tried with your attached prereq's and it worked in my InstallShield 2015. May be the files are "blocked" because you received from the internet ? regards Markus

Okay, I have attached a suite example with the check of the "Detected" state. In the suite I use two msi examples from the "InstallShield samples". But you can include also your own samples. I also created a short film to demonstrate the use. I hope this illustrates the use. I've done that in a hurry now, so it's not perfect. You should not install the example on a "real" pc, because I have not tested if you can do an uninstall ! regards Markus

I will prepare a small sample project tomorrow ... regards Markus

After the install of each package I check with a InstallScript function the "DetectedState" of the appropriate ParcelObject. The results are stored in a list. This allows me to analyze the results, etc. svSuiteObjExpr = "[@Parcel(" + svPackagGuid + ").DetectedState]"; SuiteFormatString(svSuiteObjExpr, svProperty) regards Markus

There is a different "sign" process needed. See here: .NET - How to Sign an Assembly in Visual Studio 2019 (christianfindlay.com) regards Markus

msix is relatively new to me and I don't know much about it yet. But now I have the requirement to modify an existing msix package so that it is not installed to "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ ...". Instead it should install to "C:\Program files\...". Is this in general possible with a MSIX modification package ? regards Markus

Okay just found this in my "InstallShield KB archive" regards Markus

MarkusLatz · ‎May 30, 2022

Yes this is possible. I've never needed this, but I have an old book from InstallShield Press (2003) with an example in cpp how to read a table from within a custom action. I'm not sure if it is allowed to post this here (copyright), but if this is in principle what you are looking for, I can try to write a "similiar" example and post it here. Or someone from InstallShield give permission to post here. regards Markus

In my opinion, the "prerequisites" that "InstallShield" provides are only examples, since it is impossible to provide "prerequisites" for all runtime environments for all versions. For this there is the "Prerequisite Editor" so you can create everything you need yourself and it is really very easy. Here can you download the runtimes from Microsoft to create the prereq's Die "Prerequisites" die "InstallShield" zur Verfügung stellt sind meines Erachtens nur Beispiele, da es unmöglich ist für alle Laufzeitumgebungen für alle Versionen "Prerequisites" zur Verfügung zu stellen. Dafür gibt es den "Prerequisite-Editor" damit kann man sich selbst alles erstellen was man braucht und es geht wirklich sehr einfach. Gruß Markus

You can download the latest version here: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe But before you install read the info here ... And check your "Programs and Features" panel, you should have both (x86 and x64). If "x86" is missing, install it from the link above. regards Markus

For the InstallShield 2020 Prof./Premier installation the "Merge Module Object" is still part of the installation. Only for the InstallShield 2020 SAB installation you have to explicitly select the "InstallScript Objects Support". To check if the "Merge module object"-holder is available on your pc take a look to the folder: regards Markus

What you show in the screenshot is, that the 64-Bit version of mfc140u.dll is installed. But because IsCmdBld.exe is a 32-Bit program you should check if the 32-Bit version of mfc140u.dll is installed. Check your SysWOW64 folder. regards Markus

Do you see the call to your script function "GetWindowsInstallerProperty" in the msi log file ? regards Markus
