Web-media-Block needed?

Hello,
I'm evaluating the Installaware Studio Admin 9. I want to build a package with 2 USB-Driver for a Device manufactured by us.
So I start a now Project, configured two features (can I have 2 USB-Drivers in one Feature?), selected the Inf-Files under "Drivers" and tried to build that package.
But I always get the error "Error during build: At least one Web Media Block must be defined before installation commands that may require media".
Why that? I only build a Single-File-Package.
Can anybody help me?
Regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Check that you have none of the pre-requisites enabled, then check that your driver files are included in your project.
Finally, check that the Install Files MSI Code functions have a header titled [OFFLINE CONTENT].
Then you should be good to go

Hello Andy,
Where can I find the pre-requisites? Can't find anything about that.
The driver-Files (each Driver has its one feature with its own folder) are included.
Regards
Daniel

Hmmm, Ok. Added an empty web-media-block in msi-code, seems to work.
I have a problem with installing drivers, but I think I will start another Thread about this.

Ok, new Project for testing, same error. It always wants a web-media-block. But I don't want any.
I defined again a empty web-media-block, but I still can't build the projekt.
Can anybody help me out here?

If i'm correct you are trying to build a Web Deployed setup.
Therefore you need at least one Web media Block.
Simply add one named [Off line content]
and put your files and logics below that.
Hope this helps.

No, no Web-Deployed-Setup. It's a normal "Basic Setup".
Thats why im wondering that a Web Media Block is needed.

ALL setup projects need at least an OFFLINE block defined - this is just how the compiler works.

But why does the Installaware Insatller Studio not define a Offline COntent when I build a normal Setup (not a websetup)? Why do I have to do this by hand?
I posted the msi-Code. Can you tell me whats wrong with it?

Hi Daniel,
InstallAware DOES normally create this construct.
E.g. (From a new project:)
[OFFLINE CONTENT]
[DEFINE WEB MEDIA New Project]
Get Component New Project Selection State into Variable SELECTED
if Variable SELECTED Equals TRUE
end

See ?
If you are not seeing this, prehaps you can say which template you used so I can log a change request.

Hello Neillans,
if you look at my posted MSI-Code you can see that there is a [OFFLINE CONTENT]
If you mean that.....

Try removing the slashes from the media block names.

Ok, tried the project in anotrher way: Only 2 Features, no slashes in the FEature-Names, same result:
Code: Select all

Set Variable PROGRESS to 100

So, the slahes could not be the Problem.
