InstallAware

Hi,

I've just installed InstallAware Studio X3, and am doing a command line build using a batch file. Aside from installing X3 (X2 was working 2 days ago) and so changing the patch to miabuild.exe in my batch file, nothing else has changed.

Miabuild now seems to ignore the /o parameter, and is building the installation file in the project's source folder (where the .mpr is)

My batch file is:
set ProgramVersion=5.04.09
set BuildExe="C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallAware X3\miabuild.exe"
set VCDir=C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\InstallAware Projects

%BuildExe% "%VCDir%\SQLDispONLY\SQLDispONLY.mpr" /o="%CD%\Disp" /b=1 /r PROGRAMVERSION=%ProgramVersion%
if errorlevel 1 pause

I have checked that %CD% is still the folder on my desktop where the batch file is being run from, so I am confident this is an issue in InstallAware X3. The \Disp subfolder does already exist, so it's not needing to be created by the build.

Thanks,

Bob

Dear Bob,

could you please try to replace your version with the one currently available (if you didn't already).

Unfortunately this will require a full product installation and a new re-generated license file.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi Francesco,

Yes, that has done it thanks.

Slightly different topic, but part of the upgrade discussion.... When is the InstallAware installation going to remember the VERSION you installed last time (and have selected the same time, installation after installation, for the last 8 years)?

And also, pulling in settings that are still the same, e.g. "Allow Multiple Instances of the InstallAware IDE" so I don't need to reselect the same options, time after time.

Thanks,

Bob

Dear Bob,

I'll will forward your notes to our dev team.

Thanks!
