I'm currently signing my compressed single-file installer externally with signcode because I only have a .pfx file. This works just fine. However I've noticed that after using the signed installer, the CACHED copy - used by the Start menu uninstall shortcut created by IA - is NOT SIGNED. I imagine t...

Hello, I have an IA 9 installer that requires admin privs, and which uses "Run Program." On vista/win7 some "Run Program" calls fail due to insufficient privs UNLESS the user launches the installer using "Run as Administrator." In both the success and failure cases the ...

Steve, As far as I know there isn't really a way to "replace" the official SQL2008 prereq with the one with Advanced Services. However, you could include the SQL2008 w/AS installer inside of your IA installer and run it when needed using modified versions of the MSICode scripts used to ins...

Hello, If "Cancel" is clicked and confirmed ("Are you sure...") while the SQL 2005 prereq is being installed, the install neither completes nor terminates. The prereq progress dialog just continues on indefinitely (I let it run for a hour). This is not the behavior I would expect...

Lilan, Without seeing the actual error message (it would be helpful if you posted it) I would guess that you need to explicitly remove the virtual folder and subfolders. If you used "Create Virtual Folder" to create your IIS folder then you probably need to use the "Delete Virtual Fol...

bokkie, Thanks for the reply. Yes, hacking the registry works to prevent an app from appearing in ARP; I hadn't thought of doing that so your suggestion was very helpful. Strangely, the key you need to delete is NOT the one named after the Package GUID, but rather the name of the product itself. I s...

Hello, I'd like to set the ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT MSI configuration property for some of my IA projects. I have been unsuccessful trying to set it from the cmd line (setup.exe ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT=1) or in MSICode (Set VARIABLE ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT to 1). I'd rather not have to use Orca or call MsiSetProper...

[quote="MichaelNesmith"]Easily done. Set a variable in script to whatever value you like, set a label on the form to "hidden" and set its caption property to dereference the value of this variable, and define a dialog rule based on that caption property. Ex: Call your variable [i...

Hello,

I would like to disable the "Next" button in the componentstree dialog if no features have been selected. I can't see how I can do that using the component properties available in the rule builder of the dialog editor.

Suggestions?

OK, I have a main installer whose features are installed by IA installers added as Creatives. This works OK as long as the main installer is used to modify/uninstall the features. If, however, a feature is removed/uninstalled using Add/Remove Programs (remember it has its own installer) the main ins...

It would. I believe the first request for it was back in '05.

[quote="MichaelNesmith"]Wow, a three year old setup compiler, running on a not-yet-released operating system :) You're traveling on extremes there :D Use [b]Set Component Space[/b]. Of course, I don't know if that is available with your old version, honestly...[/quote] Ha! I like to think ...

OK, [IA 6.5 on Win7 x64] I have a main installer whose features are installed by sub-installers added as Creatives. On the whole this works pretty good. However, when selecting what features to install the "Space Required" information is blank, zero, or a garbled string (which I think is a...

Hello, [Using IA 6.5 on Win7] Here's the situation: I have two files (other IA installers) that I include as Creatives in a top-level project, and all are under active development. But when you add Creatives they are copied into the IA project directory immediately and are never updated unless you r...

I don't think SQL express 2008 SP1 is out yet; I was just using that as an example...fishing around a bit I guess ;-)

Any word on upcoming features and release though?
