Hello, May I ask if we have an option of removing IA branding, for those not wishing to have it as part of the setup. I saw a different post discussing the same thing titled: Getting rid of \" - InstallAware Wizard\" in window Title Please let us know if this planned for atleast the ADMIN ...

Hello, I would like to use my FTP site for web updates. I have not been successful in getting the web updates to work - I noticed that the updates fails because of the login details that one needs to enter to gain access to the FTP site.(This was not so with the HTTP site I successfully tested with ...

Hello, I managed to get the web updates to work although I had to settle for a text file rather than the ini file which is created by default for the updates. Anyway, I am interested in finding out about the mime types for ini files Bar_BQ, I would appreciate it if you could shed some more light int...

Patching can get sticky if you dont do it right - while going through the help, pay close attention to Product Codes as well as the Revision Codes.
Also consider looking into Web Updates

You may want to clear your Temp folder before you start on building and testing your setups.

Hello, I have been trying to build the web based setups so that I can use the patch feature for updating over the web. (so far this seems the better option) However, my updates are not running as expected - having provided the url for the updates. ini file in the Properties page. I tried to download...

Richard , I had a look at the web updates pdf file Yes, the Product Code and Revision Codes are two different things but for the update to be successful I need to maintain the same Product Code and change the Revision Code with every build. I have no problem with this - my worry is about the fact t...

Hello, I have an application for which I am building the setup using IA 7. I have five (5) different companies/users using my application - the implication of this is I ship them the same version when I have a major release but each one may need some features to be added or maybe have issues based o...

I had the same issues with IA 7 while using Norton Antivirus.
I changed to Avira Antivirus and have never had that problem again
You can try the free version of Avira:

Damocles, I think you were right all along... I was just not putting in the variables in the right places but after rereading your post I finally made it work: i use: Run Program $targetdir$\\unwise.exe $targetdir$\\INSTALL.LOG (WAIT) So far with tests am doing all is well - just need to make a live...

We are together so far until this point: Run Program $TARGET$ (WAIT) when i reach this point, the command pops up a dialog box prompting for a file location. Unless am mistaken, i cannot put in a variable - it has to be a path which points to a location on my pc. The READ REGISTRY and PARSE commands...

Yes, this will work ok but its not suitable for my case You see, this executable file(the wise setup i want to uninstall) is already installed and I do not have setup file itself - it was built and deployed by a different person to many different PCs I manually uninstall the wise setups before insta...

Jim, I have tried your suggestion and managed to read the the wise installer exe file path from the registry However, I have not been able to launch the setup - the Run Program command doesnt accept variables The MSI command for Install/Uninstall gives an error message - BTW, do i give an .msi path ...

Yes, I have had a look at the blog - but as i said, this file i want to run is already installed/existing on the PC I need to call this file and run it using the IA setup rather than double clicking on it to run it manually. The example given on the blog works ok but only for files/setups included w...

Am not sure about your IA version but in Version 7, there is a Web Update feature where you can use the Update Packs to set the url for your updates After running your setup, then you will have the option of setting the time when the updates will occur - daily,weekly,monthly....but i doubt you can s...

Have tried cleaning the registry - there may be some hanging registry values caused by unsuccessful installs/uninstalls
The temp data folder may also be a culprit.

Try a registry cleaning tool i.e regfixer, ccleaner


All the best
