Re: Starting a Windows service via VBscript
OK seems like I solved the issue. For future reference for others, here is how I went about it: I decided to remove the function from the VBS script. Instead I went with a batch file like: @ECHO OFF SC START MONGODB I then just added the Launch File custom action like so: 2014-08-12_12h05_18.png

Starting a Windows service via VBscript
Hi, I silently install MongoDB, and configure the database successfully via my vbs script. I can tell from going into Windows services that the MongoDB service is installed properly. I just need to start it. In my script, I attempt to start the service with the following: strComputer = "."...

Re: SignTool Error on aipackagechainer.exe
Thanks Dan, I'll send you the .aip file and go from there. Hopefully will update this thread in case others are running into this.

Re: SignTool Error on aipackagechainer.exe
So apparently removing this line from the .AIP file:
Fixed my issue. Is this a bad thing to do? What does this file do, and why does it need to be signed?
Code: Select all
<ROW Name="aipackagechainer.exe" SourcePath="<AI_CUSTACTS>aipackagechainer.exe"/>

Re: Trying to register a COM dll. What's best practice for t
Hi Eusebiu, So I was able resolve my issue reverting back to my first method (using vbscript). I moved the custom action to the 'Final Dialog Stage', and fixed my script to accomodate whitespace in my paths: regasm64 = Session.Property("REGASM_40_PATH_X64") regasm32 = Session.Property(&quo...

Reporting back. This hasn't fixed my issue unfortunately. Here is my error log message: Action 9:51:54: RegisterComPlus.

Re: Trying to register a COM dll. What's best practice for t
I will try that, and report back. However, according to Cosmin this should have been fixed long ago correct? Hi, Please note that the COM page can register only files which have an 8.3 name format. Currently this is not specified in the User Guide, but it will be starting with the next version. Rega...

Trying to register a COM dll. What's best practice for this?
So I'm attempting to register a COM dll, and having no success at this. I've tried a few different combinations: A) Attempted to use a vbscript: regasm64 = Session.Property("REGASM_40_PATH_X64") regasm32 = Session.Property("REGASM_40_PATH_X86") dllFile = Session.Property("Cl...

How to do a search in uninstall mode?
OK so I'm having an issue that should be easy to do. I do a defined search for regasm.exe during install, and that works just fine. I assume the search is done during uninstall as well since there isn't a place to specify which modes for it be done in. However my property 'REGASM_40_PATH_X64' comes ...

Re: Is there a way to download a prerequisite and not run it
Hi Mihai, Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately we are limited on space on our servers and bandwidth. We are also trying to keep the installer as small as possible. So both won't work for us (I did think about that as well, and I should have mentioned those weren't options for us). In any case, is ...

Is there a way to download a prerequisite and not run it?
So I have an unique scenario where I require Windows Support tools to exist on the machine. This requires me to download two packages from Microsofts website: http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/e/4/6e481b67-54af-4340-a534-25de4229cfc6/support.cab http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/e/4/6e...
