Hi, We have worked around a problem with IA writing BOMs to text files, (and worked around a problem with writing to binary files not creating files like writing to text files does), with the following pseudo-code: Set Variable FILE_DATA to Set Variable NEW_TEXT_VALUE to Lorum Ipsum Read from Text F...

Hiya,

Just chasing up some old problems... was there any updates/fixes on this? Either from IA or MS?

It was reported to us that on MODIFY ing an existing installation, icons for removed components remained on the Desktop and Start Menu. When looking at the log, the reason was obvious, a Variable had not been expanded prior to being used. MODIFY log: MSI: Executing op: SetTargetFolder(Folder=25) MSI...

Hi, Apparently this has been seen in WiX too ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44161526/wix-copying-new-files-file-1-directory-9-size-6-shown-during-instal ), and those that use WiX can fix it or at least work around it? So is there something IA can/will do, or are we stuck waiting for MS to sor...

Follow up, It appears to be something to do with the path lengths. Based on the sample demo attached earlier, I can see: ⋅ #TRUNKWORKSPACE#\Src\Artwork\Icons\PReSApp.ico ==> Bad MSI icon and name ⋅ #TRUNKWORKSPACE#\Src\Artwork\Icons\PReSAppABC.ico ==> Bad MSI icon and name ⋅...

Hi, I found this post in the forum Shortcuts using the wrong icon , which is very similar to the issue I am having. But as that was 7 years ago, I thought I'd ask again in a new thread. So we have 1 setup which is built twice, using Compiler variables to modify various UI and install elements for br...

Has anyone got this plugin working IA X4?

We upgraded recently from IA 18 and now notice that it doesn't seem to write anything to the registry, nor return any errors.

Hi Francesco, I did think of that, but I don't need/want to set the PATH variable permanently. The application I'm attempting to run is "c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe", after "Apply Install" has been executed, against the sole DLL we install. The setup is installing this DLL i...

Just another note: I've also tried adding CODEPAGE=1252 and LOCMODE=VARSONLY, to the compiler variables, and also tried adding "Set Variable CHARSET_OVERRIDE to ANSI_CHARSET" ~InstallAware Clipboard Data~ ~Set Variable~ ~{9F75AA06-352D-4602-AE9A-CB3F50A1AE64}~ ~CHARSET_OVERRIDE$MYAH$MYAH$F...

Hi, I am using InstallAware 18 (Build 10.23.13) and having the following problem. I'm trying to add a directory to the PATH environment variable when running a program using "Run Program As". However, on my Windows 7 (64bit) machine I'm testing on, the application never starts. On a Window...

Hi Francesco, Excellent, thanks. :) I then had another small issue though, the version info was not obtained from the to-be-installed DLL. I put in a debugging prompt which showed the following: --------------------------- DEBUG --------------------------- "C:\Users\tester\AppData\Local\Temp\7z...

Hi, I have a bunch of files common to a few installers. One the files is a DLL, which contains a version number, but the other file do not. What I would like to do is test if the DLL is currently installed and if so test if the DLL file is newer/older than the one about to be installed. If the exist...
