Re: Framework 4.0 Install
Sure does!
If you are getting funny script errors (ex: you use include scripts, and it looks like commands from one include script are actually tied to another include script) - run the attached tool on your script files. This will regenerate statement identifiers for all scripts in the given path. Click the Log button to see which files it will run on and BACK ALL YOUR SCRIPTS UP before using it as this tool is NOT officially covered by technical support.
However, it works

Re: Framework 4.0 Install
The runtimes in InstallAware 9 R2 affected by this problem are the 32 bit versions of MSXML versions 4.2 and 6.0.
I have attached updated runtime files. Just replace the old versions in:
C:\Program Files\InstallAware\InstallAware 9 R2\runtimes
(a typical path)
And you're good to go. Apologies for the inconvenience!
PS: If anybody is wondering as to the cause of this error, the CLSIDFromString Microsoft API function accepts the string literal MSXML as a well formed GUID string! Go figure

Re: Framework 4.0 Install
Michael,
Are these updates (with GUIDs and MSXML) inside R2 release, or should we copy provided update for MSXML on top of R2???
I'm not sure that we have problems with GUIDs, does this behavior sporadic?

Re: Framework 4.0 Install
This behavior would not be sporadic but would manifest only on new projects you create, since only they will contain a fresh copy of the runtime installation scripts. We have pushed an update for this through InstallAware's web updates and you may also manually run the GUID regeneration tool on your runtimes folder, or install the hotfix patch.

Re: Framework 4.0 Install
Is there a way I can get an offline version of this Hotfix?
We have build machines which does not have Internet connections.
Correct me if I'm wrong, the problem is inside Runtimes scripts that ships with IA R2 only??

Re: Framework 4.0 Install
Yes, of course.
The corrected files are provided above inside the archive:
msxml42-60.zip
Or if you prefer an installer, download and run:
http://www.installaware.com/gwinnett/In ... Update.exe
This does affect only 9 R2 - please do accept our apologies. The cause for this bug is described above. Pretty insane, if you ask me!

We do apologize about this bug! Still blows me away that MS API's accept MSXML as a well-formed GUID!

Hi Michael,
Could be cool having a runtime for Silverlight 4 for deploying client side applications without internet connection?
Thanks in advanced,
Best regards.

Re: Framework 4.0 Install
Sounds like that'd be a great idea. Got any URLs for us to start investigating?

Hi Michael,
I've found this document around this issue about Silverlight 1, but I've not found it for any later version : http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... 42e5-89e5-
3809386f1316/Silverlight Deployment Guide.doc
I've also found this another link talking about "Offering a Compelling Installation Experience" for Silverlight but It seems not to be upgraded: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazin ... 49.aspx#S2
It's possible that the only one thing we need is launch the silverlight installer because it's very small and it hasn't almost UI. Could be great having a silent option, but at the moment I think that's not possible to do.
Also, here you have got the link to get the latest version of Silverlight: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156
I don't know if I've helped you in anything, but I'm at your disposition if you need something more.
Best regards,

You can also try running PackageAware on the native setup to see what you end up with.
