Hi,
We are having a 32bit installer and we used to install in 64bit machines with the same 32bit installer. Now we want to have a 64bit installer.
For changing to 64bit installer, can i go and change the settings in 'Setup Editor > Product Tab > Summary Icon '. Under that Template Summary property to x64;1033, to change the installer to 64bit.
One more question is, Should i need to have two different projects for 32bit and 64bit? Or is it possible to have one project and by changing the settings, can we generate both 32bit and 64bit installer?
Thanks for the Help,
Panneer.

I have a package that can not install with Outlook opened. I display a dialog if Outlook is opened with a continue and exit buttons. The dialog explains that the user should save work & exit out of Outlook.
The events on the continue button are:
DoAction, sequenced first, executes a script to check if Outlook is closed and setting property OUTLOOK_CHECK = 0 if it is
EndDialog, sequenced second, with a condition of OUTLOOK_CHECK = 0 (also tried Not OUTLOOK_CHECK)
I placed a message box showing the property is indeed set ; but the dialog never "continues". The installation only continues if I click the continue button a second time.
How can I get the installation to continue without clicking the continue button twice?

Hi,
I have created a MST install file for an MS access installer, the installer is working with the transfor file command but I want to have this in a package file.
The purpose is to download the package.exe from a web link or ftp server and run the file. This would extract the package and run the setup command with the mst file.
My stroggle is now how to combine the MS access (or office)install files, msi ... into one package exe that will extract and run the setup?
Can this be done by wise package suite or do I need to use an other tool (the tools in WPS look more to create a complete new package)

I unregistered the vbscript .dll and attempted to run an install I'm working on and it immediately hit a fatal error. The reason was to test if vbscript needs to be installed. Does Wise require that vbscript be installed in order to run an installation? The installation being tested does run a vbscript from a custom action, but not until later in the install. This error was instant.
A related question: I need to run a vbscript that uses ADO. How can I make the install add ADO as a prerequisite?
Thanks,

We need to move our WPS installation to another server. The database is running on a different server that is not being touched. Is there a 'Best Practice/How To' out there, or does anyone have any experience doing this?
Thanks.

Hi!
The only problem I'm still experiencing with WPS is the fact that performing SetupCapture of 64bit native apps on a 64bit OS doesn't seem to work all that well.
Does anyone know if this is solved in WPS 8, or if there is a reasonable workaround yet?

Above dialog box appears when some applications are running while uninstallation.
I dont want this dialog even if mentioned applications are running.
I dont see any custom action for this. I have encountered this issue before but i killed error causing application in those cases( not recommended).
Is FileInUse control event responsible for this?
If we go to switches, I dont want to use /qb- as it will show cancel button. I guess /passive and /qb! are one and the same. Will /qn suppress this dialog?

Hi,
I've got a little project which i've compiled into a MSI with WISE. The project very small -just a few MB of files for a Windows service. I've compiled it into an MSI with WISE, and am pretty unsure as to how I should be managing the source.
The problem is when the MSI moves for example from version 0.1 to 0.2, is the best way to copy the 0.1 tree to a new folder structure for the 0.2 branch and then change all the file locations in the MSI to root from the 0.2 branch?
I ask as the interface allows you to simply change the MSI version and create new GUIDs, so I'm just checking that i'm not overcomplicating things on the source tree side.
Kind Regards,
Ian./

Hi,
I am getting this new error on the silent install.-> You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this installation for all users
The situation is like that ...
On a windows 2008 server box (with a User having admin privilege [Not the default administrator]), if I try to install MSI in UI mode it prompts for the Admin approval just before the Progress Bar Dialog (or just before execute immediate/deferred section.) . I have to make the install to work for all admin users and after install the product should work for each user.
Now when i try to do a silent install using msiexec /qn /i switch it does not prompt for the Admin Approval, and hence fails.
How can I add an UAC admin approval prompt box for the silent mode installation?
If this requires some policy registry changes then we have to inform end user about this.
As per MSDN suggest I have alerady tried "User Account Control: Detect application...

I'm using Wise Installation Studio to install an application that uses a SQL Server database. I'd like the user to be able to create the database during the install or select an existing database to use if the database already exists. I modified the Database Dialog by adding a textbox for the database name. With that, I have been able to pass the information to a SQL script and successfully create a new database.
Problem:
If the user enters a database name, and it already exists on the server, the SQL scripts that run duing the installation return numerous errors. It would be really helpful to be able to handle it in the Database Dialog, but I'm not sure how to do it.
Questions:
1. If the user wants to install a new database and a database with the same named already exists on the server, how can I return a message to them that the database already exists and they need to enter a different name for the database they are going to create?

While repackaging a package in one of the custom action which sets permissions to registry the condition used is REMOVE <> "ALL".
I don't know when it is used. Any information about this condition is appreciable.
Can anyone explain in detail what are all the conditions used in custom action and when do we need to use them.

We have 3 servers that RefMan needs to point too and there are many registry entries per location (server), when trying to perform a setupcapture and executing from the \\server\share\.exe it installs during the setup capture but when running a test off of wise share point it does not install and returns an error code. I then tried several other installs and all the shortcuts are blank. Trying to figure out the best way to capture the installations for 3 different servers, but all being the same application.
Does anyone know the best way to create a setupcapture using the \\server\share\.exe in the execute?
thank you very much

Hi,
I was just looking into the MSDN for properties to find out whether there is any specific property that tells me about the OS used (Means Vista, Win2k3, XP, Win2K or Win2K8).
The property I found is MSIWin32AssemblySupport which sets the version of the OS.
Two questions :
AnyBody who can tell me how to map the versions into Specific OS name?
and
if this property is available in all MSIexec Versions?
Regards
Rohit

I want to copy 2 dirs to the installation directory on the C:\program files\INSTALLDIR after the installation has finished.
How do I set this in the MSI file?? The files/dirs should be copied from the sourcepath (UNC \\) to the source destination on the client computer.

Hi,
I have a custom action "Run wisescript from Installed files" scheduled after InstallFinalize in Execute Immediate. This custom action calls an exe, which basically does a couple of things:
1. Gets registry keys and sets a few variables with the paths from the registry.
2. Runs a bat file, that takes an argument as the path retrieved from the registry.
Now, the issue is that the install runs fine when I run it from command line using msiexec /i "path to msi" /l*v c:\log.txt
But when I try running the install by double clicking the exe or msi, the install hangs at the Custom Action. I have put in a couple of display messages just to make sure it gets into various conditions. These message boxes dont et displayed at all when running the exe or msi directly but then work fine from cmd line.
I am not sure whats the problem here, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Does anyone know of a way to run an executable in wise script and ensure it is run from the ‘System’ account when run? We need to deploy a package and have it run with the SYSTEM rights.
We cannot find a method to do this through SCCM 2007 either.
If anyone could help out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony
