Hi, I have been playing around with Installshield 2009 and C# to create a setup project that validates a serial key (the algorithm written in .NET) before installation. It works great. However I have several versions of a product. At the moment I use separate setup projects for each version. However many of the files are the same, with...

Its been a long saga of deploying my .Net uploader but I'm very close. I created my .Net uploader dll in Visual-Studio, generate an installer for it with InstallShield and digitally sign it (in InstallShield). I then put that CAB file on my server and setup the html page like so: uploader.html: <html> <body> <script src="/include...

Ok, this is driving me crazy. I have a CA that needs to know the path of the INSTALLDIR to edit an XML file. So, I set up a set property custom action that sets a property named RemoveAuthTypesNode to [INSTALLDIR]. Then I have a RemoveAuthTypesNode CA that is sequenced after SetConfigFolder (a set property that sets installdir to a sys...
