SQL CE 3.5 SP1 installation does not work with InstallAware X15 H2

Postby kaepteniglo » Thu Jan 19, 2023 6:39 am

Dear InstallAware,

we have several applications which are using SQL CE 3.5 SP1 (x86 / x64).

Last year we had to update to the latest version of InstallAware (X15H2) since you had found a security issue.

After we upgraded to the latest version we created new installer of our application.
Now we are facing issues during the installation.

SQL CE 3.5 SP1 is a pre-requisite of our application and should be installed upfront during the setup.

With an installer created by InstallAware X2 this step works without any issue on the target machines (Win 10 / Win 11).

But when I launch the installer created by InstallAware X15 H2 I receive the information that the installation of SQL CE 3.5 SP1 was not possible and should be done manually.

If I launch the SQL CE installer package, which are included in the setup, by hand the installation of SQL CE works, but not when it was launched from the installer.

We haven't changed anything in our installer script for installing SQL CE 3.5 SP1.

Can you please assist us with this issue?

Regards,

Thomas from PATH MEDICAL GmbH

I don't think your issue can be related to the InstallAware upgrade.

I done a quick test and I don't see any issue when installing SQL CE 3.5 pre-requisites. The runtime gets installed as expected.

Probably for some reasons, something went corrupted with your project.
