Re: Script Required Could Not Be Run

We have two options on our installer, 1) Extract the website files and set up the database, 2) Extract the website files and SQL files for installing the database manually. If they choose option 1, the SQL scripts are still being installed in a folder. Consequently, I was hoping we could use a ...

MSI Naming

Is there a way that I can format the MSI name to include the date in which it was built? I tried the Date property, but all I got was an empty string. Consequently, my name looks like Tracker-3.1.4-.msi. I would like it to read Tracker-3.1.4-2013-12-05 11:22:15.MSI.

I would like to use some kind of ...

.NET CA Deleting Folder Failing on Server but Not on Desktop

I have a very simple C# custom action that deletes a folder at the very end of the installation on the "Finish" button click. The folder is deleted when I run the installer on a desktop, but not when it is run on a server. I am logged in as the Administrator. A VBScript that renames a file on the ...

Re: Conditionally adding a folder and three files

By creating DB_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY's condition, it still creates the directory and adds the file. I notice that DB_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY value is always, at least, the SaveSQLFiles dialog's FolderEdit value. This is assigned whether the user gets to this dialogue or not, therefore the folder and file are ...

Re: Conditionally adding a folder and three files

I've never really gotten this to work properly. I have the condition for DB_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY component to only be installed when SETUP_OPTIONS = 3, but even when SETUP_OPTIONS is set to 1, the DB_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY is still created. I have even gone so far as to create a VBScript that deletes that ...

I have my application set up where it writes to the registry a number of keys. When I run an auto or manual install my registry keys get wiped out even when they are set to not get deleted on uninstall.

Re: Windows Authentication/Web.Config and Conditions

Thanks, I was hoping I could get away from creating EXE and just going with the MSI. I already have it set up as a launch condition where a search for the sqlncli.dll. We are, however, about the point where we need to start thinking about installing a native client and Microsoft report viewer ...

Re: Windows Authentication/Web.Config and Conditions

I'm not quite sure I follow how to include the SQL Native Client. I added a folder "Common Files" under my Application Files folder and included the sqlncli.dll and gave it the name SQL Native Client.

I'm kind of thinking that I need to include the SQL Native Client setup package instead. Any help ...

Re: Return Value from Database Server

Can I create this as a UI Custom Action so I can have it fire on a button click or some other predefined event of a dialogue box? This way, on the next dialog, In the sequence or otherwise, I can do specific things on an expression/check of a property assigned by the vbs?
