HELP: Installshield-like installers

I wasn't sure where to post this since it's not 100% programming related. I

need advice on installers to give to my company clients so that it installs:

- .NET 2.0 Framework Run-time (22MB)
- installs some ASP.NET files into specified web/IIS folder
- ensure/set aspnet_wp user account full access on specified web/IIS folder

What installer can do this? Are they free programs, and where to get from?

You can try WiX, it is a free open source installer toolset
The toolset is here

Hello, I want to install the latest Netbeans/jdk1.4.2 combination from Sun but Installshield crashed with the message: Error in Instructions. Invalid jvm file name specified in LAUNCH.

The application (it's a C# app) I'm trying to create the setup for uses MSDE. I want to add the MSDE merge modules to the setup so that it will all get installed at once. Will both InstallShield and Wise handle this? If I go with InstallShield will the Express version suffice, or is the Developer version the better choice? Any suggestions or experience with either product will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt

I have a VB.Net application that I am trying to build an installation package via InstallShield Express 5.0. I go through the new VB.NET Wizard and it collects my info and tells me that it is adding the install project to my solution but just opens the solution without adding any install project. I also tried to manually add an InstallShield Installation project but cannot find a teplate from one when I create a new project.

It seems that the Access 97 ADT and 2000 ODE installers can seriously mess up a customer's computer. Sagekey sells a script to prevent this (~$500) which runs on Wise/Installshield (~$500) for a combined cost of about $1,000. Are there any less expensive installers which handle Access problems/conflicts? Brooks

I have a strong named assembly (.dll) and I need it for com interop. Works on the local machine fine XPSP2. Want to build an install. Put the dll in the GAC and a target local folder, then took the regasm /regfile output and put that in the reg section of installshield express. Installshield installs the dll in the local folder, does the registry stuff but skips the install in the GAC. I do the gacutil /i manually and it works. I...

Hi folks, I have unpacked an all-in-one exe produced by InstallShield. I've made the necessary changes and now I'm ready to repack the files. How can I do that? Which program should I use? For unpacking I used IsXunpack. But which one should I use to repack the files into an all-in-one exe again? Maybe I should use InstallShield itself, but how?

This has happened numerous times in the past and I never can pinpoint what caused it. It has to do with Installshield (either a failed software removal or installation). When a source code is opened, or VB is launched, the Installshield dialog comes up as of it is trying to install a software. It will then err out with a dialog "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD Rom or other removable media..Insert

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
