JohanH commented on: Fresh OS fails to register dll error 1904
It was right in the link on the download page where it says "No download? Check for your browser's security bar at the bottom of the page.or Click here." I just edited the link and took away the unnecessary Brothersoft downloader ...

Evan, there is less work if you just download the file directly http://files.brothersoft.com/software_developer/setup_generators/InstallWatchPro25.exe

JohanH commented on: How to format the Read Me text in Wisescript Editor?
Wisescript supports rich text format. Create an rtf document and format to your liking, but rename the .rtf extension to .txt. The dialog should be able to display it.

JohanH commented on: Installation Studio 7.0 SP1 and .NET 4.0?
The dll (that EdT mentioned) that takes care of scanning the assembly information from .NET dll files is not compatible with .NET 4. .NET 4 has a new runtime version and is not backwards compatible. All .NET versions between 2.0 and 3.5 SP1 have ...

JohanH commented on: Framework 4 & WPS 7 SP2
No, there is no support for .NET Framework 4. Wise cannot populate the MsiAssemblyName table for .NET 4 assemblies.

JohanH commented on: Wisescript bug with CMDLINE, long file names and spaces in temp path
Hi, I think this might be the same bug. "My bug" was observed on a customer PC (I think it was Windows 2003 server) where the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation was enabled in the registry. This means that Windows doesn't create short ...

JohanH commented on: MSI create in WISE is not detect the framework 4.0 during installation
Simple. .NET 4.0 is not backwards compatible with older .NET Frameworks. If you need .NET 2.0, you need to install it first. .NET 3.5 is basically backwards compliant and also installs the required components for .NET 3.0 and 2.0.
New forum discussion 22 Feb 2011
JohanH posted: Wisescript bug with CMDLINE, long file names and spaces in temp path
I need a solution There seems to be a bug in how Wisescript creates/parses the built in CMDLINE variable. I found this in Wise Installation Studio 7 SP2, but the bug is probably also in Package Studio and in stand-alone Wisescrip
discussion comment 02 Feb 2011
JohanH commented on: Can I change the default .exe icon?
It is very important to keep the icon size the same as the default used. And when signing the exe file, an even smaller icon must be used (lower resolution), which Wise does automatically if you use internal or external signing. The header file ...

JohanH commented on: Has anyone else tried creating a local WPS 8.0 Installer for Windows 7?
Just for the record. There is no such thing as SQL Express 2008 R1. Only SQL Server Express 2008 including SP1 and SP2 (so far). R2 is different, because it contains some new features. The naming scheme by Microsoft is not the best in my ...
discussion comment 07 Jan 2011
JohanH commented on: Wise Package Studio 8 & .NET 4 Framework
Please test, but you won't probably get rid of the "Failed to scan .NET..." error. I didn't. The Minimum System Requirements list is different functionality in the Wise tool from it's ability to scan assembly attributes ...
discussion comment 07 Jan 2011
JohanH commented on: Wise Package Studio 8 & .NET 4 Framework
I have tested this and it doesn't work. You need another installation tool that is compatible with .NET 4. Wise is not. And who knows, will it ever become. The .NET 4 Framework is different and has stripped compatibility with the previous ...
discussion comment 07 Jan 2011
JohanH commented on: Signing EXE problem using Wise installation studio
To be able to add an external digital signature, you need to edit the wse script that Wise creates when creating exe-files. And in order to be able to edit the wse script, you must force Wise to create the wse script permanently in the same ...

discussion comment 13 Dec 2010
JohanH commented on: Packaging of msi using linux
I have tried in the past to install Wise under Wine, but was not successful. If I remember correctly, there were problems with the .NET parts. I never got it to run. However, later versions of Wine have received a lot of improvements in the MSI ...
discussion comment 29 Sep 2010
JohanH commented on: gac_msil
I think you are mistaken here. GAC_MSIL is one of the folders in C:\Windows\assembly that contains assembly files, NOT native images. In Wise, just drop assembly files in the Global Assembly Cache folder and they will be installed to the right ...
discussion comment 07 Sep 2010
JohanH commented on: Path Variable for folders
You cannot use Path Variables for this. Read the documentation.
discussion comment 06 Sep 2010
JohanH commented on: Confliction between msi and exe distribution
You cannot edit the Wise script to change the name of the MSI in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Wise Installation Wizard\" directly, because this naming is handled by some internal Wise logic not available in the wise script. You can ...
discussion comment 26 Aug 2010
JohanH commented on: Installation with attached USB drive
I'm quite sure this is a Windows "feature" and not a flaw in Wise (Wise doesn't have anything to do with how Windows Installer determines the drive letters). Windows Installer doesn't care if it is a regular drive or ...
discussion comment 26 Aug 2010
JohanH commented on: Thoughts about .NET Framework 4
That's just the obligatory comment. From experience, those breath pauses keep pushing records every time. Now that I think of it, working with these software tools is kind of an apnea experience.
