Embarcadero C++ Builder XE3 InstallAware silent install

Postby jhentila » Fri Feb 22, 2013 7:44 am

I'm trying to create Embarcadero C++ Builder XE3 silent installation. Command Line parameter /s works fine but short after the installation starts it gives error message "Invalid Serial Number". MSI property for serial number is SERIAL_NUMBERS and SNVALUE but those doesn't work with InstallAware installer.

Is there anyway to see InstallAware installer custom properties?

Dear User,

I'm sorry but I don't follow you with your question, those variables/properties have been defined by you?

Also, ... have you implemented a serial verification routine with your package?

No...I haven't done the installer. It has been done by Embarcadero. There's no installation documentation at Embarcadero website even about /s parameter. This whole installer seems to be a mess. MSI starts InstallAware installer which requires Serial Number parameter. I don't have any idea what that parameter could be. Why InstallAware installer doesn't accept MSI properties and why there's no way to record response file for InstallAware installers?

Dear User,

unfortunately, I can't help.

You must contact Embarcader that used our tool to develop the package.
Of course Installaware setup packages accept MSI properties, but how these are passed and reconized by the package, depends on how the setup has been developed and In your case, Embarcadero did it.

Regards.
