I don't think so, how would I know if I used the native engine? Still confused on that concept. I know there are two engines but not sure which is which and how to know if you are invoking Native Engine.
Thanks!

Re: Uninstall is not clean
Yes, so when we run the uninstall from add/remove programs, the uninstall part of installaware finishes without errors. But the icon remains in add/remove programs and must be removed again, when I did that, Windows generates an error to the effect "the uninstall was not clean, want me to remov...

Uninstall is not clean
I am having an issue with IA 18 where the uninstall would go smoothly but the icon is still present in the add/remove programs dialog in windows, and there are still references in the regedit to the program. Is there a check list of what needs to occur for a clean uninstall? One thing that is occuri...

Can't download Runtimes
I have IA 18 and would look to deploy SQL Compact v 3.5 to my project. I want to add these runtimes via the installaware installer/setup program. But it gives me a web deploy error. "Extraction of installation data downloaded from the web has failed. What would you like to do: 1) Download a fre...

Do I need to add code before/after Install/Remove MSI Package $PRODUCTCODE$ If so, my installer has several branches (component tree) and installs 3 different services depending on what the user selects. How can I ...

Re: Encrypting string in config file
I solved this by re-working my wrapper program to handle output to a file - this now saves the encrypted password directly to the config file. Here is the encrypt class http://stackoverflow.com/questions/202011/encrypt-and-decrypt-a-string And here is my wrapper class attached. Also here is the inst...

Encrypting string in config file
I am installing a .NET program that has database credentials. I want to encrypt the password within the config file for obvious reasons. I don't see a great way to do this from installaware though. I have a dialog that gets the database information from the user, and that works just fine, populating...

Set Access to "Everyone" to that folder, and try again. I suspect that the Installation Process (Service) does not have access to the folder, to write or sth.. Try putting a rule for "Everyone" and allow everything and try again. Or if you don't want to create it for everyone ma...

Re: Passing paramaters to SQL files
Yes it works. Previously I had a batch file running the script. However since I am incorporating it into installaware I am passing IA variables. Therein lies the problem. Is it possible to view the SQL output through installaware, ie through a message box or maybe write to a log file? If there is no...

Re: Passing paramaters to SQL files
Yes this is very helpful. However, when I create the MSI code and test the installer, I just get the return status instead of the full dialog from SQLCMD. What I am trying to do is generate a database with specific parameters and attach ownership to a specific user. However, it doesn't work and I do...

Passing paramaters to SQL files
Hi all,
For our installer we are making database modifications that require parameters, mainly the name of the database. So far i have this working with batch files calling SQLCMD. I can't figure out how to make the SQL script portion of IA to pass parameters.
Thanks
Rob
