Re: multiple mia*.tmp folders in %programdata% folder
This matter was brought back to my attention today and I've determined at least one case where it happens every time. If I reboot the computer at the end of the installation (SUCCESS=REBOOT, REBOOTCOMPUTER=TRUE), then that folder gets left behind. I reproduced this with a very simple wizard-generate...

Issues with Intune, Controlling TEMPDIR
We are working with a client who is trying to install our IA generated setup via Microsoft Intune as SYSTEM. When running the install as ALLUSERS=TRUE it is failing saying it cannot create the TARGETDIR folder, that a folder or file of the same name already exists. Troubleshooting with the client sh...

Re: Problem with REG_MULTI_SZ Strings
I do have a saved .reg as it made it easier to test myself. I've attached RegTest.zip, which contains RegTest.txt. Just change the extension from .txt to .reg. It contains a multi_sz key that exhibits the issue. The contents of this key were created while uninstalling/upgrading/installing using our ...

Re: Problem with REG_MULTI_SZ Strings
This looked promising but still did not allow me to get at the strings after the blank line. My message box displayed the first line, once at the outside reading the key, and once in the for each loop, then left. Set Variable NATIVE_ENGINE to TRUE Set Variable NEEDSREBOOTFROMDRIVER to 0 Set Variable...

Problem with REG_MULTI_SZ Strings
I am having issues reading a REG_MULTI_SZ string from the registry. I need to test this string for certain values. The issue seems to be if there is an empty string in the middle of the list of strings, all other strings after that get ignored. I am not in control of the contents of this string, I j...

Pasword Protected Install with Reboot Prompts for Password
I have an install that is password protected. It also has some runtime requirements that can cause a reboot during the the install. After rebooting, the install requests the password again -> is this something that I can change? They've already entered the password in once - is there a way to rememb...

Re: Conditionally install files
Franscesco, Aha! That was what I was missing. I'll keep that knowledge for future use. I had to get the new build version ready for testing yesterday. I worked around it by copying the underlying .mia file and changing the script file set for each project in the MSICode tab. I only need to do that w...

Re: Conditionally install files
I have created a single underlying .mia script used by each versioned project. I need to be able to continue building a "release" version along with a "development" version and was trying to reduce the number of files and editing I needed to do. As well, the mia script is used by...

Conditionally install files
I have versioned install projects that all use the same underlying mia script. I want to include/install a collection of files only if a version number (it could be any variable, really) is greater than a set value. Can I do this? Right now it throws an error that the older project version cannot fi...

Aero Theme and Caption Bar
I'm using the Aero dialog theme and it looked great until I tested on a system where the Windows Settings for Personalization -> Colors had the option to use the accent color on Title bars and Window borders checked. Then, instead of the nice white area, the accent color is now drawn - making my ico...

Adding PNG images to dialogs
I've updated some of the IA branded images on the dialog theme Aero to our company icon, and added another image along the bottom. Both are PNG images and the results look jaggy when the install dialogs are displayed. Both images are larger than the actual area; would regenerating at the matching si...

Re: Uninstall Program as Prerequisite of Another
I didn't have an entry under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall matching the DisplayName, only the PRODUCTCODE GUID, then realised that as I'm in 64-bit mode, I needed to look into the 32-bit hive under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mic...

Uninstall Program as Prerequisite of Another
I have three setups, only one of which can be installed at a time. Each setup has it's own product code. I need to check for and remove the other program if it is installed. At the beginning of my script, using the product codes, I determine if any of the other two are installed, and following what ...
