I would keep the label and the goto statement outside of the include script. That way you can process the bulk of the task within the include script, and loop the actual task outside of it. Might that help? No -- The *whole* of my task *is* the reading and parsing of the file. (which necessitates t...

Thanks for the reply;

I did put in $LICENSE$ in for Memo.Lines, assigned a value to it with "Set Variable" (just to be sure it wasn't blank) and tested it.

The Memo component loads the pre-populated value just fine.

thanks for your quick reply -- we really enjoy using InstallAware!

Not clear on this one here...are you including the same script multiple times? I don't see why using this from an include script would be a problem. Yes, i was wanting to use "Include Script" multiple times -- that is specifically what causes the problem. For now, I can workaround the iss...

Clarification:

I am already using the *write* capability of the "Memo" component to write to a variable. My question specifically is about a need to *read* from a variable into a Memo component.

thanks!

Another quick question about "Memo" vs "Edit" control. with "Edit" control, i can set it to write its result to a property "LICENSE" and set "[Written Variable Value]" in the Object Behavior dialog (under "Receives Information") so that it ...

Can you clarify what you are referring to by "reading from invalid file option"? Is this a built-in command or a plugin i can download from somewhere? I also have a problem with the "Read From Text File" command--I use it as follows to "Refresh" the list of databases av...

In the Dialog "Object Rules" editor, the Memo component doesn't have a "text" property. Perhaps this is part of a new version that i don't have yet? Both my Memo and my PTShellList write to a property, so i can check whether the user populates them and show the dialog again. I wa...

I installed the latest version (IA 6.0.6 SP3) and verified the bug fix to Run Program As.
Thanks so much for the help!

<cmd.exe piping> The reason piping was not working for me was that there was a bug in the "Run Program As" command that caused it to have a near-empty set of environment variables such that the "echo" command was not found. See http://forums.installaware.com/viewtopic.php?t=1283 ...

Thanks for the help! at first i didn't realize that the account running the SQL Service (which was not an administrator) was the one who had to have access to the backup file, NOT the logged-in account, which was running OSQL. your suggestion took care of the problem easily. thanks again, drew

Hi, <Memo> continuing on this topic, i need to enable the next button based on whether someone has pasted in a license (which might contain line breaks) into a Memo component. Using the following rule does not seem to work: IF (MemoLicense.Lines <> ) THEN Next.Enabled := True; Is there a property ot...

I am having a problem accessing a file i have included via "File Bag" during a "Run Program" call. The program i am trying to run is OSQL (MS SQL Server). Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Server SERVER, Line 1 Cannot open backup device 'C:\\DOCUME~1\\MyUserAccount\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\mi...

To help clear things up, "Run Program" starts with the same set of environment variables as you would have if you opened a command shell on the machine. "Run Program As" does not. This seems to make sense anyway as you might want to carefully control all available environment var...

Hi Candice, thanks so much for your reply. <cmd.exe piping> It seems like this suggestion ought to work; however it still doesn't pipe the output correctly. Sample call from a command shell: cmd /C echo "Hello World" > %TEMP%\\file.log Sample converted into an InstallAware "Run Progra...

Hi, We are doing a proof-of-concept installation package using a trial version (InstallAware 6.0) to make sure the software can do everything we need before purchasing it. As part of our install, I need to do two things: 1. READ the value of IIS metabase property at W3SVC/IIs5IsolationModeEnabled As...
