Ah, OK.

First sorry for the dup post. My mind is spinning right now getting ready to switch install build products.

I'll switch back to the other Reg post.

So there really is no automatic extraction of reg infor when adding files to the install or compiling the install is there? I should go through any files needing to be registered and mark them Register in the visual view. ?? What if I include an Assembly in Files. If I mark that as Register, what wi...

In IA 9, how are actions handled that are to Execute a program from the installations--not on target machine or currently installed as part of the app, but from the package itself during runtime?

Oh, yes this builds a single .exe then Group Policy Wiz needed to pull out the .msi. I get it now. IA should try to make that an option to build single .msi. I believe you said the type of compression you use prohibits this, but if they select to build single .msi, just call Group Policy Wiz from co...

With InstallAware, how are Custom Actions created? Is this done by dragging actions into the MSICode and checking the proper settings? Do I have to worry about where they will end up falling in Immediate or Execute sequences when the .msi is compiled? Which of the following Custom Action types, if a...

Hi there, In IA 9, how can I search for a registry entry and set a property = its value? I'm hoping one can do this and then use the property values to pre-populate controls on dialogs during subsequent installs/updates that may be run. ?? .... What I've done is created my dialog control, placed a R...

Hey there again, I just have a question about the copy, move and delete actions that can be added in the Local Files view. Are these actions carried out following the installation of setup files? When setting up a Copy action for example, I can use variables in the source, destination locations? Jus...

Hi All, I'm still unclear really how to deal with file and/or assembly registration. Let's say I have a folder set up in the Files view that contains .dlls, ocx's and some assemblies. Can this be structured in this way or should the assemblies be added in the Assemblies view with a custom destinatio...

Hi there, I'm working through evaluating IA 9 and I'm currently building shortcuts. It appears that the icon is not extracted when I point to the target of the shortcut. If I try to set the Icon file path, it is looking on my local machine and not the installations directory structure as it did for ...

And the single file build mode setting is something set in the Group Policy Wizard correct?

Are these zip file encapsulated in the .msi or not?

I remember coming up with the same question a few years back when I was evaluating an earlier version of IA. With IA 9, is there a Release configuration setting of some sort that will prompt IA to spit out an all encapsulating, standalone .msi file instead of one wrapped in a Setup.exe? With the Gro...

Is there a downloadable users guide? I would like a listing of internal variables ($<variable>$). How are files marked for registration? When creating Registry entries, how is the installation directory saved? By writing the value of $<whatever>$ ? These are just some of the many questions I have an...

Is there a way to edit, directly access the msi tables in InstallAware 9? Or is it that this architecture doesn't support that functionality while actually creating (not building/compiling) the project. There are some times I need to tweak the table before a build. I guess I can just simply ask, how...

I know this may differ based on install options set/selected, but is the footprint of the actual InstallAware 9 application actually always 5 GB or thereabout? I see that, during evaluation installation many support/prerequisite runtimes (SQL, .NET Framework, etc.) are downloaded and placed on the b...
