After rebuilding the setup now it doesn't work anymore, the files are again not installed.

So I ask, how should I upgrade a legacy WISE installation, if the Native Code is not able to do it?

So I excluded the two files from the wildcard install command and made an extra command for these two files.

Now they are installed correctly.
Maybe a little bug within IA or a Microsoft issue.

Hi Francesco,

thank you for the tip with the user mappings, that could be the reason.

But if I understood right, the administrator user will not be able to see the mapping, so the function WNetGetConnectionW will also fail to get the path because it is running as administrator. Right?

Yes, the setup should update files on the target computer, these files were installed from another non-Native Code setup.

I thought by using these Native Code variables I can be sure that all files are updated.

Hi Francesco, I have strange behaviour of a Native Code setup. Some files are not installed/updated although they are definetly compressed into the setup (saw it in build window). I have a simple command: Install Files C:\Setup\*.RPT to $REPORTFOLDER$ The strange thing is that most of the .rpt files...

Hi Francesco, the setup sometimes has problems with the function "Does File/Folder Exist" if the file to be checked is on a network path (mapped drive). On some systems it is working and on others not - although the file is always there. Do you have an idea? How could I solve it? Thank you!

no, if I start the setup and then the .exe both from one batch file, then they are running in the same process. At least the environment variable created in the setup is not visibe to the .exe. But I don't want to use a batch, this was just for illustration. I want to call the .exe in the IA setup a...

The problem is that this environment variable is created in the same 'process', so this variable is not visible to the function. only in a new process the newly created env. variable is visible. For example, if I start the IA setup from a batch: The setup creates the env variable and afterwards in t...

My IA is working well again. I am quite sure that is related to Adaware or Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Because I did a system cleaning with this two programs and afterwards IA brought the above error. After reinstalling InstallAware is was working well again.

Since today I get the error: "Unable to merge Windows Installer database with module Microsoft_VC100_ATL_x86" On monday the setup builds fine and the merge modules were intergrated correct. I have not changed anything in the project. I also tried to reintegrate the MergeModules but always ...
