Need Installshield or Wise to create an MSI/Setup that embeds MSDE, recommendations ?

MJB

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 am running SQLServer 2000 SP3 with MDAC 2.8. On instances created via MSDE, I am unable to create the first step in a job. Instances created with SQLServer 2000, this problem does not occur. The message I am receiving on the instances created with MSDE, the message I get immediately upon pressing the Add button to define a step is "Error 170: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '\'"

Hi folks, I'm currently evaluating a .NET installer platform. Basically, it has come down to either Wise or Installshield. It would be great to hear about your experiences with these product in deploying .NET apps. If you have experience deploying MSDE and the .NET runtime along with your app, that would be great.

Hi, I have got InstallShield with VC++, and I would like to use it to create a setup for various types of project, e.g. a game, activeX control, etc. However the project wizard only allows you to choose an .exe, and it makes you choose between 'database application', 'finance application', etc. What if my product isn't an .exe, say it's an .ocx, or what if it isn't one of these predefined types of program? I've no idea on where to start...

Hi all, I have about 10 books about VB.net, but no book explains anything about setup projects. I need to do some things during setup which are not as straight-forward as copying some files and adding some icons and some documentation would come in very handy. I need to let the user select an extra path (which is not the installation path) at instyallation time and after some modifications write it into a registry key.

I am trying to use the Shell command to run the MSDE setup. Shell("MSDE\setup.exe SAPWD=blah INSTANCENAME=TEST SECURITYMODE=SQL") This works in that it runs the setup, but the setup always pauses with a few seconds to go (as far as I can tell just before the MDAC install). If I then stop my VB.Net app, then the setup continues. Why is this happening and what can I do to resolve it? The same command works perfectly from the command...

All, I've written a "setup" wrapper that calls a sequence of "setup.exe", and all works except when I call the setup.exe for the MSDE, then it gets about half way through and then hangs... The MSDE setup works fine from a CMD prompt... anyone know of articles or known issues with this technique, and what are my alternatives to having my user install several "Commandline parameter intensive" setups to get this installed? :) MTIA wardeaux

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

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
