I'm using a build script that calls Wise to create some install files. The problem is that the Wise license only allows it to be run under one particular user account, which is not the same account that my build script will run under. I know Windows has the runas command but this won't work for an automated script as there is no way to e...
Hi, I have a installer developed in Wise. After installation begins, when I press cancel rollback does not happen and installer continues to install. All the Rollback properties are correctly set in installer. Can you please help me in this issue ? ...
I am building an msi using WISE. The Dialogs appear fine when run on a 1280x800 resolution screen.

Hey all, I'm using Wise Package Studio 7.0 SP2 on Windows XP. I've got an MSI Wrapped EXE installation that goes about happily installing some files and then running one of the files from the installation which we can refer to as app.exe. So on the "Execute Deferred" tab of the MSI Editor, I had to add the lines: If Not Installed the...
I've got an MSI based install that I've wrapped in an EXE file as per my installation packaging software (which is Wise Package Studio 7.0 SP2). I've made many changes to the install, and every time I've tested them, they've worked just fine... up until now. I changed some text on a dialog box for when the installation finishes and now...
I have an application that gets installed with a Wise installer (EDIT: Wise creates a Setup.exe file, not an MSI). Upon installation, an icon is set for a certain file type: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.auz\DefaultIcon = C:\Path\To\App\some_icon.ico,0 Right after the installation, however, Explorer chooses to display this icon using the generic...
Does anyone know of any MSBuild or NAnt tasks for controlling Wise Installation Studio? I know, I should probably just use WiX but my current project is already in Wise and all I need to automate is updating of a product code, the upgrade section and a few bits of text. ...
I am upgrading an old Wise for Windows installation to a newer version of Wise Installation Studio, and the WiseCustomCall resource is now marked as <unspecified>. The .wsi compiles into a .msi without issue, but then fails during runtime, not being able to locate "location: WiseCustomCall, command: g0". Can anyone provide some informa...
I've got an existing Wise .wsi script that I would like to convert to using relative paths, but the problem is that it includes about 330 files and the only way I've found to fix the paths are to go into each file's Details and adjust the path manually (from Installation Expert: Files screen, right click and select Details). Am I going t...

Our application installer needs to run a setup exe from a third party after installing our files. Their setup exe was tested using Visual Studio's deployment tools, but we're using Wise for Windows Installer. They say I need to add a command line call to their setup.exe to the setup.ini file that Wise generates, but they can't tell me th...
I am working on a WISE Installer that needs to run on Java Version 1.5 or greater. So I have it read the registry for the Java Runtime Environment and get the "CurrentVersion" variable - for example 1.6, and place it in a WISE property. I am attempting to build a Launch Condition that prevents the Installer from continuing if it is run ...

I'm working on an installer that, among other things, installs a web server. As part of the setup, I'm setting up an ODBC driver and data source. I'm trying to put a bunch of utility files, including the third party ODBC driver DLL, into a certain folder, but when I run the installer, it insists on changing that directory to the SystemFo...
I need to adapt existing WISE installers for 64-bit, but don't want to make copies of the existing installers. For future maintenance purposes, I want one project that produces both 32-bit and 64-bit installers.
