hevnbnd Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I am installing from a dvd. Ok i have got about 10 installshield apps that are throwing me for a loop. I just can't get them to work. All of my non installshield apps work fine, i have created setup.iss files for all of my installshield apps. Quicken 2004 installs for me with an installshield setup.iss file just fine. Anyone got any ideas what i could possibly be doing wrong. Below are two ways that i have tried to install.I have tried this:<items> <item display='InterVideo DVDCopy2' image="%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\images\DVDCopy.jpg"> <execute display='Installing InterVideo DVDCopy2...' program='%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\Applications\DVDCopy2\setup.exe' arguments='-s' /> </item> <item display='Ulead DVD Workshop' image="%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\images\DVDWorkshop.jpg"> <execute display='Installing Ulead DVD Workshop...' program='%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\Applications\DVDWorkshop\setup.exe' arguments='-s' /> </item> <item display='RAIDCore Management Application' image="%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\images\RAIDCore.jpg"> <execute display='Installing RAIDCore Management Application...' program='%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\Applications\RAIDCore\setup.exe' arguments='-s' /> </item> <item display='HP ScanJet 4600' image="%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\images\hp.bmp"> <execute display='Installing I.R.I.S.

XtremeMaC Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 2 copies of this<execute display='Installing diNovo Widcomm...' program='%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\Applications\Logitech\diNovo\Widcomm\BTW.msi' arguments='/qn' />& this<execute display='Installing Belkin Bulldog...' program='%SOURCEPATH%\PostInstall\Applications\bulldog3215\setup.exe' arguments='-s' />other than these my guess is a switch is invalid for 1 of the (probably the first) installshield app and that ends up in a hang? also not all the intallshield apps require an iss fileand maybe one of them prohibits changing a specific thing with an iss file?I dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hevnbnd Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 None of the apps hang, i showed two examples of things that i have tried. I don't have any duplicate entries. They just skip over and dont get installed. I think the problem is in the '%SOURCEPATH%\ that calls the arguments. Anyone have any suggestions?UPDATE:I am almost positive it is the %SOURCEPATH%.... What can be used to replace it TO RUN thes arguments and get the setup.iss from the cd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 hmm well okay i just looked at mine most of my applications are installshield programs (mostly msi's)I'm not sure if it matters that much but I use them like this<item display='Installing'> <execute display='Installing Acdsee 5.0 PowerPack' program='#Sourcedrive#\PROGRAMS\ACDSee 5.0 PowerPack.msi' arguments='/qn' /> </item> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 try adding -f2"%systemdrive%\log.log" to your installshield apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
