We recently released our product under InstallAware 9.0. It passed through QA trying to break the install by interupting the installation at various points and resuming the install later. However, it is apparently possible to put a target machine into the state mentioned above where a repair install...

If I run one of the sample projects and cancel on the first welcome dialog, I do get a "Are you sure you want to cancel?" Yes/No dialog. If the user clicks Yes, then the application ends silently. That is fine with me. What drives me crazy is within my installer, if the user clicks yes to ...

In the invokation of the dialogs I am indeed capturing the return result in the WIZARD variable. This setup is very large, it it possible that size might account for the problem? By the way, cancel is not working for any dialogs. Is it possible that the WIZARD variable is not being properly updated ...

if the user cancels the setup?

See this post - same problem exactly under version 9.

InstallAware 9 (Build Moya.sp1.070409). Is it possible that there is more than one plug-in with Terminate Process in it? Just to prove that it was not "my" installer, I opened one of the sample projects and tossed in a line: Terminate Process : MonitorTaskTray.exe. Got the: Error during bu...

I'm evaluating IA version 9.0. I ran our installer and immediately cancelled. I get an odd MessageBox dialog: "User cancelled". I click OK and it goes away. Is there some way to get rid of this? I can't find any trace of it in the script. Is it an evaluation side-effect?

I'm evaluating version 9.0 with our installer. I defined SINGLEINSTANCE as TRUE in the Compiler variables dialog. I ran the first instance to the welcome screen. The second instance ran and crashed with a peculiar message box (9x) -> "Access violation at address 67054A25. Read of address 67054A...

I'm evaluating version 9.0 and had the Terminate Process plugin working under version 8. Adding it to my version 9 project and I get:
Error during build: Failed to compile plug-in action: Terminate Process.

Is there a fix for this or do I need to roll my own?

The WIZARD variable has "NEXT" for a value, despite the fact that the user JUST said cancel and confirmed it on a confirmation dialog. However, I have noticed that at times it does run correctly. It seems to make some difference how the exe is invoked. If the interactive user does so, no p...

I have 2 custom dialogs in my script - the first one non-modal (progress for checking prerequisites) and the second a modal display of prerequisite status. Both have cancel buttons. If the user clicks on cancel for either, the script just hangs with the dialog there. I verified that the checkingPrer...

I ran process explorer and found that one of the processes has no command line options - presumably the one I launched. The other has /k="" /m="some long path"

I am aware of the mutex solution (which does work for a sample project), but for some reason at runtime there are 2 instances of our setup that always run even though the exe was only invoked once. If I put the mutex solution in place, the second one abandons its process, but that apparently is the ...

When IA presents the notification that a new version is available in the task tray, it uses the installer's icon. Is there some way that we could use an animated icon instead? If we use the animated icon, would that icon appear on the user's desktop if they put the installer on the desktop? In other...

We removed the system menu and took out the cancel button so they are forced to enter the UserName at least.

However, it appears from our testing that only the user that installed ever gets notification of the update. Is there any way that all users can get notification?
