I’m trying to change the destination of a merge module at run time... Let me explain: I have a merge module, which its destination is set to the [SystemFolder] folder. And I have a lot of MSI projects point to this one merge module, all pointing the merge module (Component) destination to ‘(Use merge module's default destination)’. The Issue: One of the MSI Projects needs to install the merge module to the ‘Common File’ location (not the systyem32 folder). So if I change the merge module (Component) destination in the MSI project to [CommonFileFolder] nothing happens (because merge module

I am working on a task not to prompt a normal user a popup(UAC) for approval to install windows Addin application while registering a .net assembly during installation using instalshield. On windows xp, its working fine but during installation on vista and windows 7, a popup comes up for approval. As per the requirement, it shouldnt come. Is there any way to bypass this pop up on vista and windows 7 if UAC is on and registered the assembly per user without administrator privileges? Kindly help? Thank You. Christopher Painter Actually, COM can be registered per-user or per-machine as HKEY

Question: I am struggling trying to figure out how to update some attributes in an XML file using InstallScript. I would like to use proper XML parsing functions, but I can't find anything that suggests this version of InstallScript is capable of it. How can I do this? Should I just attempt falling back on a combination of FileInsertLine and FileGrep? Is there a library I'm missing? Background: What software versions? I am using InstallShield 11 on Windows Server 2003 R2. Why am I not just using the existing 'XML File Changes' feature? Because I am doing an upgrade and running into this bug .

I am creating a basic msi project using installsheild 2012 premier. I have two problems. 1.) The MSI needs to run a custom exe after it has created the folders and files of the application being installed. It needs to do this only once when the application is being installed. 2.) The MSI also needs to tell the custom exe being run, what language the user selected to run the MSI in. I have no clue about problem 2. With regards to problem 1 here is my attempt as described below: The way I have it setup now, it is running once right at the start before even creating the product's files and

I have recently installed Installshield LE on my local PC for vs2010, built a package and now wanting it to be built on our build server. I have also installed it on our build server. I am getting the error: error : -7159: The product license has expired or has not yet been initialized. I have logged onto the build server, started vs and entered in my licence code. However, this has has not resolved the error. I have read about the stand alone version but that appears to be only available for premium edition. Anyone have any ideas? FlyerMM if you are using the 2012 Spring edition of

I can create setup file in InstallShield 2009 I don't know how to add the .NET Framework 3.5 and other prerequisites to the InstallShield project. i creae installscript project in instalshield2009 it has not "Redistributables view." InstallShield provides the prerequisites functionality. You can use this in your MSI project. This would ensure that these prerequisites are only installed if they are not already present in the target machine. If you do not want to include these components like .NET Framework 3.5 into your installer then you can use the redistributable setup installer. .net 3.5

Here's the situation: I have an InstallShield LE setup project (a couple actually) which have been working well for the last year. Recently I configured a new laptop, thus reinstalled Visual Studio 2010 and Installshield LE. Apparently, then updated InstallShield LE to the Spring 2012 edition. Now when I attempt to build I get errors about missing setup prerequisites: Error 7 -1007: Cannot copy source 'C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2012SpringLE\SetupPrerequisites\Windows Installer\3.1\x86\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe' to target 'C:\Users\Erik\myProject\Server Install\Express

I'm having a little trouble understanding how InstallShield treats upgrades. What I want is to be able to increment the version number on the installer, recompile, and distribute my installer. This should automatically remove any previous version of the application, and install the latest version (and it should be presented to the user as an "upgrade"). This is a very straightforward installer, it just takes output from a few Visual Studio projects (an application EXE, some DLLs and so forth) and installs them all into Program Files. There is only one feature and it is always installed. I don
