InstallAware

Our IT department recently moved all of the installaware project from one server to another and now none of my prjects will build. I believe this is due to the setup looking for the "included" scripts in the previous location of the project. Is there a way that I can change the sepecified path of these scripts without having to remove and add them from all of my projects?

I created a simple script and added it to a test project. It was saved in the same folder as the project file itself. When I edited the mpr file I can see the name of the script file inside it and there's no pathname involved. In other words, the script is in the same place as the mpr file and without a pathname it should find it when the project is loaded. Have you looked in the mpr file to see if there's an inconsistency?

I have looked but did not see any problems. I can see that the mpr has the mia for the main project in the right place it is the other scripts that are not right.

The scripts that I am talking about are the runtime scripts such as .NET 3.5

Are you able to update the paths, then?

Relative paths are supported in IA 10.

The problem that I am having is where do you find the path for the included scripts? I know where the path for the main .mia is but how am I able to see where the runtime scripts are being called from?

Look in the project .mpr file...

This is was the .mpr has in it:

• \\Computer\Install-Aware Projects\Mt Project x64\My Project x64.mia
  componentstree.dfm
  componentstree.dfm.miaf
  destination.dfm
  destination.dfm.miaf
  finish.dfm
  finish.dfm.miaf
  licensecheck.dfm
  licensecheck.dfm.miaf
  maintenance.dfm
  maintenance.dfm.miaf
  prereq.dfm
  prereq.dfm.miaf
  progress.dfm
  progress.dfm.miaf
  progressprereq.dfm
  progressprereq.dfm.miaf
  readme.dfm
  readme.dfm.miaf
  registration.dfm
  registration.dfm.miaf
  registrationwithserial.dfm
  registrationwithserial.dfm.miaf
  setuptype.dfm
  setuptype.dfm.miaf
  startinstallation.dfm
  startinstallation.dfm.miaf
  startmenu.dfm
  startmenu.dfm.miaf
  welcome.dfm
  welcome.dfm.miaf
  wizard.dfm
  wizard.dfm.miaf
  $
  icon.ico
  license.rtf
  $

No where in the .mpr does it even list the scripts that are included in the project let alone the path do them.

They don't appear at the bottom of the .mpr? Something like:

...

$
$


Service Pack
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
TRUE
FALSE
FALSE
FALSE

checkmsi31.mia
setupmsi31.mia
checknet2sp2.mia
setupnet2sp2.mia
$
FALSE

FALSE
FALSE
TRUE
FALSE

No they do not.

The only time the added runtime scripts aren't appearing in the .mpr for me is if I haven't saved it, yet. Tested in IA 9R2 SP3 and IA 10.
