installshield

Currently my installer is need user to choose which type of setting they want to use when install. Lets say got setting A,B and C. If want to make this in silent installer. Is there any method can use? I'm using install shield. Thanks in advanced. :) You can set PUBLIC PROPERTIES inside the MSI file from the msiexec.exe command line like this: msiexec /i test.msi /qn TESTPROPERTY=1 These properties are the ones you have hooked up to values input in the GUI. They are now set by the command line (or defaults are used from the Property table) and the entire GUI section of the MSI gets skipped on

I am seeing an unusual sporadic failure of one of our patches at several customer sites. The final error code is 1648 (No valid sequence could be found for the set of patches), which is occurring because error 2219 (Invalid Installer database format) occurs when attempting to read the summary information stream from one of the patch transforms. But I suspect this is only a side effect of an earlier silent error. Our patches all use the MinorUpdateTargetRTM property so there is really nothing to sequence, as any previously installed patched are automatically superseded. Our customers typically

I would like to create an installer of my program. However because the installation is quite complicated, I need something more advanced than installshield limited edition. I have to run another installer from my current one. It doesn't matter if the user press "cancel" or installs the program, I just need to run it. I have to install a directory structure on user computer which has a lot of files, that's why i'm going mad with wix: 100 files and I should write all of them with my hands in that xml file? Are we mad? I have to install files from point 2 into a registry key. That's why I was

I have an Installshield project .ism and I want to be able to run it by command line. It's there a possible way to generate a new Product Code by CommadnLine using IsCmdBld.exe Note: Can't use another build software Thanks in advance As @Steve mention you cannot generate new Product Code via command line, but what you can is set new product code with command line. What you need is generate random GUID with a 3rd party application (or use automation) and you may set this new GUID in command line as follow ... IsCmdBld.exe -z "ProductCode={D1B1C3E2-AA6F-455C-8533-C642EED0512D}" Yet another thing

I am using Installshield 2018 Express edition to make my setup and I wanted to include some custom actions coded in .NET, but I can't find the way to reference a custom action in .NET. I guess Installshield would have an option to refer to the assembly, class and public method to be invoked for the custom action but I can't find any option to do that. ¿Is there any way to achieve this? I'd prefer to use a dll instead of an exe and having to deal with the command line args, etc. Express Edition : I am not sure the Express edition of Installshield supports custom actions or Installscript (custom

I trigger an c# application by an custom action: On failing condition, my application tells Install Shield to abort the installation process using an exit code: static void Main(string[] args) { if(false) { Environment.ExitCode = 1; } } Using this approach, Install shield´s setup displays an error message like expected: How can I overwrite that error message by a custom text? Reading between the lines here, it appears your custom action launches an EXE. If that is so, there is no way to do what you ask. You could show a message from your EXE before returning a non-zero exit code, but then
