I had installed IA 9.0 last year, it added the key. I uninstalled IA 9, removed the key, reinstalled IA 8. Yesterday, I installed IA 9 R2 SP3 over IA 8, with a freshly generated license file. I checked the registry, and the key was back. Is there some piece of IA 9 that does periodic checks for upda...

I just did a clean install of R2 SP3 with a newly generated license file. ReceiveTimeout is still being set to 10000 on my development box. How can I keep the machine that I author the installer projects from being changed?

Have you verified that the code signature was valid? In other words, have you run "signtool.exe verify /v /pa" on your signed executabled? I've never played around with self-signed certificates, but I have never had a problem with the ones from VeriSign and InstallAware.

Is there an anticipated date for the next update? I have held off on migrating from IA8 to IA9 because of this and I need to coordinate with my QA department when I upgrade a development tool. Knowing an approximate release date would allow me to schedule the upgrade at the right time.

thank you,

I will need this feature too. I have clients where the default .NET runtime is still set to 2.0.

thanks!

A .NET app should not need write access on that folder. What are you doing that needs that level of access? ASP.NET apps do need read/write/modify rights on "%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files", but that should be already handled by the registration of ...

You could write a DLL that logs entries to the Windows Event log. Which requirement specifically requires that the installer write to the event log for Vista logo compliance? I know that the application is supposed to write to the eventlog, but I don't know of any requirement for the installer to do...

For what it's worth, I can duplicate the problem with IA8.

I wanted to say that I can reproduce this problem as described. I'm running Windows 7 64bit on a Dell Precision T5500. The video card is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295.

I can get a similar problem switching from Design to MSIcode and back to Design.

I would run the Sysinternals Process Monitor (procmon.exe), a free download from Microsoft. That will show you which process are accessing the files in question. It could be an antivirus app, a indexing utility, or something in your own script. I had some code that did some housekeeping in one of my...

I would prefer the text format too. Much easier to resolve the diffs.

Thank you. Is there a specific reason why you read from HKCU rather than HKLM? For example, [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Office\\11.0\\Excel\\InstallRoot\\Path] looks like a place to check. Furthermore, AFAIK Office 2003 is 11.0, not 10.0. It's probably 11, I just didn't have any Offic...

Is there a reliable way to detect whether Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007 are installed on the target machine? I am using InstallAware 7 R2 Developer Edition. There is an old MSDN article that included some sample code in ComponentCheck.cpp for a component that would telll you which version was insta...

QA has reported that Google Desktop is installed on a computer where this issue occurs. Is it known that installations could fail if indexing software such as this is running? I've seen that happen with Microsoft's indexing service. It's possible that Google's service could trying to trying access ...

Can you do something like this with the "Run Program" MSIcode command:
