Alt Key Accelerator Not Working

Hello, My requirement is for all buttons to have an Alt key accelerator. To be clear, this is when the caption of the button shows an underlined character. Pressing Alt + <the underlined character> will activate the button the same as a left mouse click would. Do do this, just add an ampersand "...

Re: ASLR / DEP in Installer

John, It's not a matter of redistribution or personal concern. It's a matter of corporate security not allowing any program to exist on a corporate issued machine unless it has the appropriate modern security features (ASLR, DEP, signed, etc.). Since we need to install InstallAware, those files exis...

Re: Setup file(.mia) in temp folder blocking to start the setup

John, I hear what you are saying, and I agree that that should take care of it. However, I can duplicate and resolve with 100% consistency with the steps I provided on any machine - all I need to do is delete the contents of %TEMP%. It's the difference between theory and practice. So, something must...

Re: Changing the Setup Temp Folder?

I work for a large company. It has a security policy to lock down running EXE's from locations that aren't controlled by UAC and/or meet certain criteria. One of the problems we are having is the installer running code from the %TEMP%\MIA### folders. Even though these files are signed, hashed, and s...

Re: Setup file(.mia) in temp folder blocking to start the setup

I know I'm late to the game here, but we have seen the same issue. We are using InstallAware version X15, only create single EXE installers, and only test on/support Windows 10 and 11. We see this issue when the install crashes for some reason. When the install is started again, then it will go thro...

Re: ASLR / DEP in Installer

That's good for InstallAware to know to put security on their IDE and related programs. Hopefully, it will also help with the Setup.exe's that are created by their IDE when one compiles the installer project, which is what I would like to see happen.

Thanks,
Bond

Re: ASLR / DEP in Installer

I want to be clear - I'm asking about the EXE that InstallAware creates, not the ones that are included in the installer. The Setup.exe that InstallAware creates is a compiled EXE file and gets run on customer's systems too, just like the programs that the Setup.exe drops. Please consider this as a ...

ASLR / DEP in Installer

I was using X13 for my last release. When testing the Setup.EXE generated by InstallAware, we found that ASLR and DEP were not enabled on them. ⋅ Has this be resolved by the latest X15 release? ⋅ Is there a setting in the InstallAware IDE to enable this? A command line switch may...

Installer Crashing without Logs

Background: Our installer in IAx13 is around 500 MB in size (lots of files). We use Azure VM's (Windows 10) for testing our installs so as to prevent bad installs from messing up our personal machines. The only AV running is the built-in Windows Defender. We use single file compilation with compress...

Re: .NET Framework 4.7.1

Since the link is expired, is there anyway you re-post the contents of that link? I really need a .NET 4.7.2 runtime package installed, and it would be nice if it was either included in IA or there was something on the forums about it. The forum search feature removes all references to "net&quo...

Patching: Label undefined error

I'm testing out patching with IA 18. I started with an existing project that was released. I set the power tweak on balanced and always cache sources checked. I build the project as a single EXE and moved the EXE to another folder. I then added a simple EXE to the project in a existing folder. I add...

Re: dll string parameter

For those that use Delphi instead of C++, here is how you make it work: Delphi code (a complete working DLL with a single entry point): library MySetupHelper; uses SysUtils, Classes, Windows; {$R *.res} function MyFunc (someINParam : PAnsiChar; someOUTParam : PAnsiChar; ) LongInt; stdcall; var MyINV...

Re: Can I have text as resultvalues from Call DLL Function?

I can not get this to work in IA18. I've searched these forums for over an hour. I'm sure I just don't have something configured correctly. Is there a clear solution/example/guide for doing this with Delphi? It should show the IA and the Delphi side of things. Thanks.

I'm getting the exact same error on IA 18. What was the resolution to this issue?
