My installer is checking if the program is already installed and I would like to skip the "Enter the path" page in that case.
How can I script that in NSIS 2.0 ?
Hello,
I am using Visual Studio 2008 to create an MSI installer. I currently have all the files installed in the main directory. Is there a way to select some files to go in a subdirectory?
I can find an option in Visual Studio to do that.
Thanks
Tony
Hi all,
I have come code that reads the registry and looks for a value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\App\ but when running on 64bit versions of Windows the value is under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\App. How should I best approach this? Do I need a 64bit installer or should I rewrite my code to detect both places?
Thanks
We have a product that has been installed with multiple UpgradeCodes in the past. There's a big red box in the documentation saying not to do that, but the developer somehow overlooked it.
I'd like to move this installer to a Setup Project. How can I install over all of the previous UpgradeCodes installed by the various WIX installers?
I am planning to use py2exe to make an application developped with Python 2.6.
It seems that my app need the VC redistribuables : http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial#Step5
I've read this tutorial and the redistribuables license agreement and I am not sure if I can freely redistribute these files with my program. (I don't have VS2008 license)
Can I bundle the redistribs into an installer and make the installation transparent for the user or do they have to download the files by their own from Microsoft website?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Something, maybe the windows sdk or visual studio installer, has defined the Platform environment variable and given it the value BNB.
What does BNB mean, and why is Platform set to BNB?
Thanks.
I've seen this, but it doesn't answer my question:

I open-sourced a tool I created to scratch an itch. From the downloads for the installer on the project page I can see I'm not the only one interested. About 5 people seem to have upgraded from the previous version. But I know next to nothing about them.
Do I need a news group? A mailing list? Or how would you start to build a (little) community?

I know mysql, and I'd like to learn sqlserver.
I'm currently stuck on the basics of basics:
How to install and configure sql server
How to connect to it
I installed Sql Server through Web Platform Installer, and have Visual Studio 2008 installed. Still, I can't understand how to connect to my server:
I see that the SQL service itself (SQLEXPRESS) is running in both in services.msc and Sql Server Configuration Manager
I try to connect to it via the Management Studio, but I don't understand what to do.
Where do I begin?
I can't run a debug sdk application because it requires both VC 8 and VC 9 versions of the CRT. But it only requires visual studio 2008 for plugin dev, which is what I need.
How do I install the debug runtimes from 2005 on to a Windows7 machine? I can't figure out how to make them run app local nor can I copy anything into the winSxS folder without a trusted installer.
I'm looking for a "SINGLE INSTALLER" solution for PHP Development.
Is there anything out there which will give me a nice IDE, Web Server, Debugger, Database, etc, on a single install image (*.msi or *.exe)?
This of course would be completely opposite of Eclipse PDT, which requires you to search and locate a bunch of additional components which never quite work together.
I've used a few F/OSS libraries in my commercial application. As per their licenses, I am obligated to include their source codes along with my VS2008 application. This is my first time making a "real" commercial application, and I would appreciate some advice on how best to go about including their source codes.
I don't want to package them as zip files alongside my installed. I still want my installer to be a single file.
Hello,
Since when I installed Screwturn I used Web Plateform Installer, I though I'd need to go through Control Panel to uninstall it. But, I saw nothing in the Install/Uninstall section of the control. Rather, I found all the ScrewTurn resources inside the C:\inetpub folder.
Clearing everything inside that folder would help get rid of SrewTurn as I didn't copy/paste it there but the WPI did it for me? No side effect to be feared?
Thanks for helping
Hi so I am trying to create a deb package for a web application written in Java (it uses Apache Tomcat). My eventual goal is to start a repository that people can add to apt-get the software, but
How do I make it so that the package knows to look for dependencies like tomcat, sun-java6-bin, and ant?
How do I write an installer script to place the files and folders in the right place?
Hi,
We are using WiX to create a setup. The installation works fine, but during uninstallation an error says that the [FileName].msi is missing in C:\Windows\Installer and the setup starts rolling back. It is not reproduced in all the machines. It happens only in few machines. Could someone please give a solution to this ? What may be the reason that this happens only in 5 machines out of some 100 machines ?
Thanks and Regards,
Varun

I have a machine which doesn't give me local admin rights. Is it still possible to run erlang on it, as I cannot run a windows .exe installer to install erlang?
I know it's possible to deploy earlier versions of the .NET framework using AD deployment, for example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc160717.aspx.
How do it do this for .NET 4? I tried unpacking the standalone .NET 4 installer and deploying the netfx_Extended_x86.msi package. This didn't work. After a reboot the event log shows that it tried but it failed to install with a message saying to run setup.exe.
I am currently adding a deployment project to my C# solution which
installs a windows service and I have been trying to find a property
that will make the installer prompt the user to reboot the system once
installation has completed. I would prefer to simply set a property
rather than create a small application that I run at the end of the
install.
I am new to .Net framework.
I want to develop a PC application, probably in .net framework 2.0. I will create an installer and want to run it in another machine which has windows 7 OS.
Which is the .net version i need to install on windows 7, so that I can run my application.
I'm using the following code to get the path where Word stores its templates:
WordTemplatePath:=WordApp.Options.DefaultFilePath[$00000002];
The problem is that this returns the path for the actual, logged-in user.
Is there a way to get the path for another user of the same Windows instance?
I need it so my installer program can install the templates used by my program for other users as well.
