InstallAware

Hi,

I have InstallAware Studio and I have created an install kit. This includes the Microsoft Visual Studio runtimes.

When I build it from the command line on the machine where InstallAware is installed, I get those runtimes included.

When I build it from a different machine, using the miabuild from a shared drive where I have copied the files listed as redistributable in a Studio licence, I don't get any runtimes, and the kit is several MB smaller (suggesting it hasn't included them).

If I try building using the public miabuild running on my development machine, I get a messagebox popping up warning that ...\\runtimes\\vc8bin and vc81bin are not found, but it includes the ones from the local install.

I tried adding the runtimes directory to the public miabuild area, but that didn't seem to have any effect.

Any ideas how I can pick up these runtimes from a clean machine? One of our key use cases is for other engineers to be able to run a script and generate a (preconfigured) device-specific installation without having InstallAware installed on their machine. If they don't pick up the runtimes this is clearly going to be a problem.

Cheers,

Ian

Double check the paths to the runtimes in the script file; alternatively, open the script in the IDE and save - this will update the paths.

Recent builds have added relative support for this, and make this easier so you might want to check your version too.

It seems you don't have the plug-ins registered on the build machines. Would be pretty hard to do with a pen-drive...maybe you need to create a .REG file that points to the paths on the pen-drive. At any rate, this is something you need to get done.

Hi Michael,

These files are on a network share and the build is run from a batch file, so I can run regsvr32 or whatever from the batch file first. I tried registering mergemod.dll but that didn't help.

What do I need to do to register the plugins?

Thanks,

Ian
