Re: Create a .MST File
Thanks. So if we need to create a .MST file we need to use Orca? That seems like a pretty big limitation of your tool. Wise and AdminStudio both allow you to create a .MST based off your .MSI file. Once I create a .MST file with Orca I know I can call it with your (un)Msi command, but where do I pla...

Re: Create a .MST File
Hi Aviv, thanks for the reply. If I understand you InstallAware is not designed to modify .MST files at all. Correct? If we have a .MSI file that requires a serial number we can of course run msiexec /i "acme.msi" SERIALNUMBER=123.321.123 from a command line but users can then see that ser...

Create a .MST File
I have looked at the white papers and I don't see one that covers .MST, unless I missed it. I saw these files. InstallAware Software Corporation has published the following technical articles that present in-depth studies of unique InstallAware technologies: MSIcode Scripting Technology for Windows ...

Re: copy files?
Ok, I picked APPLY CHANGES from the drop down dialog, I did a BUILD and then I RUN the script. Nothing gets copied. And I've tried different things in my copy local files command. I've used variables, I've used wildcards etc.... and nothing ever gets copied. I've added the Set 64-Bit Mode command an...

Re: copy files?
Hello. My script is this: ~InstallAware Clipboard Data~ ~Copy/Move Local Files~ ~{55B169EC-37A1-4F65-8E0D-4E5CDBC6A4D4}~ ~c:\temp~ ~test.txt~ ~c:\tools~ ~~ ~TRUE~ ~FALSE|FALSE~ That is all I had for the copy package. I understand that things happen at Runtime but it "can't" be this hard to...

Re: copy files?
Yes, I did read what you wrote in the white paper. I have this 1 line of code: ~InstallAware Clipboard Data~ ~Copy/Move Local Files~ ~{55B169EC-37A1-4F65-8E0D-4E5CDBC6A4D4}~ ~c:\temp~ ~test.txt~ ~c:\tools~ ~~ ~TRUE~ ~FALSE|FALSE~ I have compiled this and done a Build Singe File. I then press RUN and...

copy files?
I have this command: ~InstallAware Clipboard Data~ ~Copy/Move Local Files~ ~{1A3957FD-2DD8-4ADB-AFE3-EB50CA46AC68}~ ~c:\temp\tmp~ ~*.exe~ ~C:\IA~ ~~ ~TRUE~ ~FALSE|FALSE~ And it copies nothing. I've changed this around too and it never copies anything. Copy Local Files c:\temp\tmp\*.* to C:\IACopy Lo...

Re: (Un)Install MSI Package
Hello. I can covert my script from .WSE into an IA file as well. But I can't compile or run it. I am using IA 10.x and I am running it on a Windows 7 64bit OS

Re: (Un)Install MSI Package
Sorry if I was unclear. A few years ago I wrote a Wise Script Editor routine that did this. In the .wse file I create variables called STRING_VAR and DUMPFILE I install scanreg.exe I set STRING_VAR to what i want to install as it appears in Add/Remove Programs. In this case Silverlight I set DUMPFIL...

Re: Project Size
I think I found what I was looking for. In the folder with 41 items is a folder called Release and inside of that I hav my file called Testing1.exe. Now, when I run this I am prompted with far too many dialogs. So I went into my project and unchecked all of the dialogs and it ran in silent mode. I d...

Re: Project Size
Yes, I see all of the files. I guess what I am really asking is why? Why are there 41 files for 3 lines of code? And can IA scripts be compiled into .EXE's/.MSI's? If I write a custom script in IA I'd need to run it on target machines as either an .EXE or .MSI, how/where is that done? Thank you.

Re: How do you.....
Yes, I am using Windows 7 64bit. Is IA reading from the Wow64 reg key and not hklm\software\etc... ?? If that is the case when will it support Windows 7 64bit? We are in the middle of rolling out Windows 7 64bit to our company so this is a big deal to us.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: How do you.....
Okay, now I see the Regions link :roll: About your other problem, are you sure that HKLM\software\1111\junk has a value? Try regedit.exe (Start -> Run -> regedit) and make sure that this registry value even exists. Yes, it is there since I manually created the registry key just for this test. And I ...

Project Size
On the MSIcode tab I created a 3 line script. I called it My Setup. By default when I press SAVE it is saved too C:\Users\Me\Documents\My Setup on my Windows 7 machine. I looked in this folder and I have 41 items that total over 7mb in size. 41 items for a 3 line script? That seems a bit much. And o...
