Two things you might want to check:
- Does the file need registered with regsever32?
- Check the event viewer. You might be missing VC++ runtime files. The event viewer will tell you what version you need.

Run as Administrator Bug?
Hi. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it tripped me up a bit. I was trying the batch file regsvr32 code as described by Daniel here: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29748&start=30 I used the "LaunchFile" custom action (deferred) to launch a batch...

Re: COM extraction from .ocx .exe does nothing or is incompl
Now the downside, the current AI 12.0 does not seem to like the format of the .reg files that RegSpyUI generates for some reason and resfuses to import them. I will look into this further. You might check the encoding of the registry files. AI seems to require registry files be encoded using "...

Re: COM extraction from .ocx .exe does nothing or is incompl
After having a done a bit of research on COM extraction tools, I discovered that our own InstallShield Express 2012 license shipped with such a utility. It is called RegSpyUI.exe and is located in the Support folder under the InstallShield installation in Program Files. It can be run as a free-stan...

Re: How to organize my installer

Re: How to create an uninstallable update

Re: problem uninstall
I can think of a few things to try:
- Repair the install, then try uninstalling.
- Run the original installation package. It should detect the product is already installed and offer to uninstall it.
- Use msizap to remove it. I believe msizap is included in the windows sdk.

Re: COM extraction from .ocx .exe does nothing or is incompl
I want to chime in here, in hopes that this COM extraction issue might be bumped up in priority. Our company uses a lot of COM dlls/exes (.Net and native). A while ago, I reported an issue with COM extraction here: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30016 In summary, the...

Feature Install States and ADDLOCAL
Hello! My Problem: I have a deferred custom action that runs code based on the install state of a feature. For example: If (FeatureA is installed) Run this code elseif (FeatureA is installed AND FeatureB is NOT installed) Run this code etc. Since deferred custom actions can't access the install stat...

Re: Folders remain after uninstalling
If the service is creating these files after install, then the installer will not uninstall those files (since the installer did not install them). For this scenario, you might try using a new "File Removal" operation as described here: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/file-remo...

Re: Installer stuck on "Extracting files from archive"
A few things you might try: - Make sure you have admin rights. - Verify that C:\Users\RANDY\AppData\Roaming\DSDCS\InputMapper 1.5.29.0\install\disk1.cab exists throughout the installation. This will at least tell you if the cab file is being extracted correctly and the antivirus isn't removing it. -...
