Q. What Windows Operating System (OS) are you using?

Your having the same problem I see. We depend heavily on the command-line feature of InstallAware. Been Using Vista Business x64 and IA-9 Studio successfully until we upgraded to IA-2012 Studio about one month ago, big heartache. Support has been working on this for weeks now without any solution. S...

I'm trying to get our project deployment people back to work quickly so I simply found our old IA-9 folder and temporarily copied it to our Development PC and the error is gone. I think most people upgrade to the latest IA and the prior IA directory is still intact, so they don't experience any erro...

IA-2012:
I suggest including a feature for Code Signing 'Web Media Blocks' much like the IA project Autheticode feature is now.

You can thank me later ;D

Answer: Use a reliable Time Stamp server like Verisign!

Now IA-2012 Authenticode 'Time Stamp URL:' works fine.

Sorry support for my false alarm, hopefully this post will help others like myself.

I'm using the Authenticode Signature feature in IA-2012. It 'Signs' using the correct Cert, however the Time Stamp never shows. Here's the time stamp server we use successfully with other programs.

Help!

No. I tried that idea too. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with this post: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7955

Also built a new project with IA-2012:
- It fails using Command-Line build.
- It builds successfully using GUI.

I don't get it.

Excellent! It finally works after following your advice BobSchaefer:

" Change the value in Element Path to be: Settings\SqlConn "
" Add the $SQLCONN$ variable as the Element Text: value "

Thank You

Okay, for now I found our old IA-9 folder and temporarily copied it to our Development PC and the error is gone. I still have a legitimate complaint though. I still have an unanswered question:

Q. Why does the IA-2012 GUI compile and build successfully, yet the command-line feature does not?

I'm receiving different IA_2012 command-line ERROR now. This time it fails to initialize the MSI database: Error during build: Unable to initialize MSI database, recommend IDE restart (or verify build folder permissions). Build Failed. Note: 1. Again I'm able to successfully build this project using...

I have successfully run IA-9 projects using it's command line feature. However, now I recieve the following error trying to run the same project using IA-2012: ERROR: Include File: "C:\Project Files (x86)\ InstallAware 9 \runtimes\setup20.mia" does not exist. Note: We use this command-line...

Our XML file does not have Key\Value like other postings I've found here on IA forums. Thus I post... Our XML Config.xml: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Settings> <SqlConn>@SQLCONN@</SqlConn> </Settings> We formerly used the EditFile plugin like this: Set Variable EDITFILERESULT to EditFile $TARGE...

I have two projects that will NOT open due to the ‘EditFile’ plug-in used in IA9. I followed the error message window instrutions, but cannot find the EditFile plugin in the IA original build because it was added later. I have searched all the files in the project directory trying to find the proble...

Looks like we will upgrade to IA 2012. Only problem is we rely on the IA 9 EditFile plug to edit a text file upon final installation process.

Q. Does IA 2012 have a way to write to a text file like the IA 9 EditFile plugin did?

Thanks for your help.
