I am compiling using Installaware X2 v19.06.0.2014 on a Windows 8.1 machine. I am attempting to create and use the filebag plugin pointing to a local path that contains spaces in the subfolders. 8dot3 is enabled. The setup compiles correctly, but I receive a runtime error on the file bag command whe...

I am compiling using Installaware X2 v19.06.0.2014 on a Windows 8.1 machine. I am attempting to create and use the filebag plugin pointing to a UNC path that contains spaces in the share name and subfolders. The fsutil solution is useless in this case. Long file names have been around since Windows ...

This is a serious oversight for the IA developers. When writing to new text file, there must be a way to distinguish whether the file will be UTF or ANSI format. Is this still a problem as of version 18.05? The Installaware Blog does not indicate that the problem has been resolved. Until this is res...

If Installaware doesn't currently support this feature, then please add this as an enhancement request.
The code signing feature within Installaware should support all available options rather than just the bare minimum Installaware chooses to implement.

A recent update to IE9 and IE10 (KB2870699) causes digitally signed EXE files to be marked as "corrupt or invalid" when downloading with Internet Explorer 9 or 10. For more info, see: http://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/800433/kb2870699-breaks-ie-msi-signature-validation I use...

Recently upgraded from IA15 to IA17.0.4. I believe the problem regarding compression still exists, at least on Windows XP. I am not able to replicate this error on Windows 7, Vista, or Windows 8. My main setup calls a second setup prior to the Finish screen. Both setups have been updated to include ...

I just purchased virtualization 5 and am attempting to virtualize my app using a Windows 7 computer. To isolate the changes, I created an offline project. I ran the PackageAware program to capture the setup changes, and the resulting .miv file was 1.75 MB. (encompasing 415 files, 173 folders, 235Mb)...

I have several EXE files in the same folder that I would like to access within the same virtual environment.
While your reply explains how to add additonal folders to a virtual app, it does not explain how to provide multiple entry points into a single virtual app.

Just to reiterate...
If you're going to use two different version naming conventions, please provide both of them on the Version screen.

I recompiled the setups 100 more times (with 1 to 100 length encryption passwords) and tested them.

Using NX 14.02, the problem is resolved.

I am trying to hide icons that appear in a subfolder of the All Users Start Menu. I am using Installaware NX 14.02. Even though the shortcut is configured so that the "Inclusion on Start Screen" is checked in "Disable Shortcut Feature", the icon still appears on the Metro interfa...

In the pinned topics, you mention new features and bug fixes for Installaware version 14.02. How do I determine whether or not I have version 14.02? When I open Installaware, go to to the Project tab, and click the Version button, I see "Installaware NX (Build 8.19.12) Mooooya" If you're g...

I recompiled the same setup 100 times, with differing length passwords. I used the /p=<password> to encrypt the setup. I then ran setup /k=<password> for each of those 100 setups to see which ones failed. Here are my findings: Setups compilied with the following password lengths failed: 8, 12, 16, 2...

Digitally signed or unsigned, the setups (built with IA NX) crash when the setup password length is greater than 11 characters. This error can be replicated in both Windows XP and Windows 8 Pro. setup.exe /k=<password> * password that works (11 char): ABC123abc12 * password that crashes setup (12 ch...

I've discovered a limitation of the installer password feature. (The password you enter to run setup). My setups have been built with both Installaware 11 and Installaware NX. Setups are digitally signed, but not encrypted. Windows XP SP3 AND Windows 8 Pro: * Running setup without parameters: enteri...
