YOU CAN use compiler variable like the example you said to store paths, but you cannot store UNC paths. Also it would be better if you categorize your files into Directories and use Wildcards to install them eg Set Variable MYPATH to "C:" Set Variable $MYPATH$ to MYPATH C:\\IAPROJECTS\\to...

Thanks Gizmo!!!!! I had (local)\\Instancename. This was left over from when I had (local)\\SQLEXPRESS. I have the login/createdb part working now. Now I am going to include the create tables and sprocs. IF I load the script, it puts this "ÿþI". Is that normal? No i guess you're using an o...

I thought that MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS was the name of the service that it is checking for? Th first dialog has this under the service name entry which is also what I see as the service name under control panel. The default instance is SQLEXPRESS. If I name the instance, where do I enter the check for tha...

Summary: I can't find the 'Else If' command in InstallAware. I have If, Else, and End... but no Else If. Checked everywhere I could logically think of, but no luck on my part. Just looking for a little help. Thanks, Henry J. Actually there is no need to use Else If. You can achieve the same result ...

Can you please be more specific on what exactly your problem is , or even better attach your script so i can review it and help you?

Thank you!

I don't know what library is missing. I am using the sqlexpress application requirement in the install script. It does install sql express with network protocols enabled.... Number 1 works great. I just can't get a login created. I have tried including the MDAC 2.8 refresh as well. BTW all target m...

If you don't want any dialogs to popup at all, you can use the /s command parameter on the <setup.exe>(replace <setup.exe> with your setup name) on the install package to make the setup "silent".

The default name of MSDE is trully MSSQLSERVER or MSSQL$INSTANCENAME.So if you are specifying an INSTANCENAME parameter at your install, you should use that as the Service Name. ~InstallAware Clipboard Data~ ~Control Service~ ~{4CEE83AC-E2A5-49BE-BCB8-BCF1086E7261}~ ~MSSQLSERVER~ ~~ ~0~ ~2~ ~TRUE~ T...

Did you do the update on the plugin package?
Please search the forum, there is an update for the plugin package, which does a fix on this problem.

Actually the best way to do this, is to put a Registry key on the "Run" key section of HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\ or HKLU\\SOFTWARE\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\, depending if you want to start the program only to the user who installed it, or for all of them..Use "Write R...

I've read the previous thread about .Net.. Even if you uninstall .Net the mcoree.dll and the fusion.dll still remain on the system. Also the version is always the LATEST that was installed, and it's NOT donwgraded upon uninstallation.That means if you had .Net 1.1 installed and the mcoree.dll was fr...
