Error in build using generic Delphi Plug-In...

[jediware]

Background

I am using:
* WIndows 7 64bit
* InstallAware 9 R2 (Moya.sp1.060409)
* Delphi 2007

What I did:
* Created a new project from InstallAware (Plug-Ins>Delphi Plug-In)
* Opened project in Delphi 2007, Compiled both DLLs.
* Added the following to my registry:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MimarSinan\InstallAware\2.0\Plug-Ins\Demo]
@="C:\\Users\\Luke\\Documents\\InstallAwarePlugin\\mIDEPlug.dll"
"Action"="InstallAwarePlugin"
"Execute"="mEXEPlug.dll"
"Script"="Delphi Plug-In"

* Opened InstallAware, created a Blank Project
* Used my newly created "Delphi Plug-In" without a problem (Here is the script:)

Code: Select all

* Did a "Build CD or DVD" and got the following results:

Code: Select all

Error during build: Some plug-ins required by your project are not available.    Please ensure all required plug-ins are installed. Run InstallAware setup and   choose Add or Remove Features, or run the third party plug-in installer.
 

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

P.S. I have attached a zip file with the Delphi project, InstallAware project, registry update, etc.

PluginExample.zip

This is all projects and settings used to reproduce the problem.

In a nutshell, the Plug-In registry Folder name MUST BE THE SAME as the Action

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MimarSinan\InstallAware\2.0\Plug-Ins\InstallAwarePlugin]
@="C:\\Users\\Luke\\Documents\\InstallAwarePlugin\\mIDEPlug.dll"
"Action"="InstallAwarePlugin"
"Execute"="mEXEPlug.dll"
"Script"="Delphi Plug-In"
