Hi everybody, I have a problem with installing an MSI package. First I put the msi for postgre into a filebag, and then I run the "Install/Remove MSI Package" command with the following arguments: package : $POSTGREFILES$postgresql-8.3-int.msi or $POSTGREFILES$\\postgresql-8.3-int.msi (sam...

Hi Antoine, I'm not sure if I'm on the rigth track, as I don't really understand the problem you're describing. What exactly do you refer to by "BUILDMODE PATCH error"? When reading "BUILDMODE PATCH error" I would check again the compiler variable checks in the script. can you al...

Actually, there is a whitepaper on patching. On http://www.installaware.com -> Support-> Publications -> WhitePapers -> Using InstallAware to Patch Software Products. To use patching, your script needs to be pretty stable (least amount of changes), that's why I did only some tests so far and am not ...

Hi antoinebrunel, looks like the translation files are corrupt. If you compile the installer without localization (remove all the localization files from the project), does it work correctly? Can you compare the different language files with a diff viewer like examDiff or BeyondCompare to see if the...

Hi Steve,

check the script "checksql2005" that was automatically added to your project.
The first line checks if a windows service by a given name is installed. I guess, it does this with the windows service API without directly reading the registry.

It also worked correctly on my machine: Write into Text File show.bat from Value echo %1$NEWLINE$pause (at end of file) Set Variable TARGETDIR to C:\\program files\\install aware Run Program show.bat "$TARGETDIR$" (WAIT) shows in the commandline as "C:\\program files\\...

The command "Extract Path" in the scripting section has an option to "replace \\\\ with \\"

That should fix your problem.

(Too bad we can't use boost::filesystem in msi script

Hi Erik, I don't think compiler variables can be set from the script. Are you sure the commandline is too short to set all your options? If it works over the commandline, you can use batch files to build certain configurations, or even better a build tool like FinalBuilder. If the commandline is ind...

Can you switch to the code view and have a look, or are you using the express edition?

There's an img tag in your post. Did you post a printscreen? If so, please retry, as I don't see the image.

Hi d.g how exactly did you create the shortcuts? I create multiple shortcuts one after one like this: Create Shortcut $SHORTCUTFOLDER$\\Uninstall PointLine2D to $UNINSTALLLINK$ Create Shortcut $SHORTCUTFOLDER$\\PointLine2D to $TARGETDIR$\\bin\\PointLine2D.exe Create Shortcut $DESKTOPDIR$\\PointLine2...

ups, sorry that was the answer to another question in another thread.

Hi fsloredo,

you can also first write to a textfile (*.bat) what you want to do, and then execute the batch.

Hi Eugen,

sounds like you didn't generate a new revision code GUID for revision 5?

hi Gerard,

is it possible, that one of the two folders is for all users and the other is for the specific user?

Hi danj6, it took me three attempts to get a solution that is also localized correctly. so here it is: Set Variable ServicePathName to Service Create Shortcut $SHORTCUTFOLDER$\\$ServicePathName$\\Uninstall PointLine2D to $UNINSTALLLINK$ where link location is "$SHORTCUTFOLDER$\\$ServicePathName...
