We are having this same issue now that we are providing both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of our app.

After installing TPC 2023 R1 64-bit, TPC 2023 R0 64-bit is still in Install Apps like before.

I've attached the project files for TPC 2023 R0 and R1.

Figured it out. Using Run Program As instead of Run Program.

1. We use [filename].dat files \ProgramData\ to store user settings. 2. These files are provided by both installed .cab files that are extracted to \ProgramData\ and installed default .dat files that are copied to \ProgramData\. 3. If the user chooses [x] Run $title$ Now in the finish dialog, all of...

This morning (the next day) 2 of the Start Menu shortcuts are missing - TPC Desktop 2019 and TPC Desktop 2022. 1. both are still installed 2. both still have icons on the desktop that work 3. both are still included in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Traverse PC Missing 2019 and...

I figured it out. As soon as I changed the circled Pin options from Yes to No the TPC Desktop 2019 shortcut stays in the Startup Menu for Windows 11 and doesn't disappear. Don't pin desktop shortcut.png I have to say that once again, I spent way too much time figuring this out. This is worked in Ins...

Update We just tested install on another Win 11 computer and it worked OK there. To on my Win 11 test computer 1. Our old InstallShield install create the start menu shortcuts properly 2. Our new IA installs do not 3. Same results for our IA projects and the test project you sent me. Any suggestion...

I built your testprj and installed it. I changed a few variables to mimic what we want. When the start menu is first opened, I see the shortcut Test Project is there.png Then, without doing anything, after about 5 seconds, the short cut disappears Test Project is not there.png Reopening the start me...

It looks like you are sending the link to the shortcut folder, but it doesn't show up in the pulldown list in the properties dialog. No Shortcutfolder.png 1. Do I enter $SHORTCUTFOLDER$ manually? 2. Why isn't it in the pulldown list? 3. Where does your documentation tell me what $SHORTCUTFOLDER$? is...

I can't get a shortcut to show up in Windows 11 Start Menu. Tested OK in Windows 10. InstallShield created the TPC Desktop 2020 link shown here under the Traverse PC folder. They make it so simple. I want IA to do the same thing. Traverse PC Folder in Start Menu.png I've added the shortcuts I want t...

We everything working now. Thanks for your help. You had commented that "If you modify/alter the default behavior of the install project, you must then be totally aware of the changes you intend to apply to the project functionality." We imported InstallShield (IS) projects and just had to...

The zipped folders are too big for your attachements.

Here is a DropBox link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r3gmbpxg7rzg ... 16nJa?dl=0

It has subfolders for both shared and separate Product codes for the versions. We could get either option to work properly.

1. I created an IA IDE setup in the \InstallAwareApp\ folder shown on the top when I evaluated IA. 2. Now I have purchased IA and want to integrate my existing IA setup into VS 2019 3. The IA extension in VS 2019 created the \InstallAware\ folder on the bottom with the TPC20R1_Mixed Platforms.iaext....

I made that change and get the same results.

I'll attach my 3 project files for versions 2020 R0, R1 and R2.

I put in the script you showed, making the change for \WOW6432Node\ and I get this message when line 41 executes.



Here is my script



What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for you help. We can manually remove it under Control Panel as you stated. That solution will mean users of our app will have to post to our forum or contact technical support to clean up an old install. Yikes! We don't want to do that for something that should happen automatically. We never ...
