Changes in Driver Installation with Windows 8.1?
For the last year, we have been installing our configuration only INF driver for a USB device using this:
rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 MyInf.inf
The advantage of this over PnPUtil was that it did not show the trust dialog and was suitable for silent install.
The alternate
rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 MyInf.inf
never worked for us.
With some recent update of Windows 8.1, this appears to fail. I ended up using PnPUtil, which does work reliably. But I am dealing with the certificate trust dialog.
Does anybody else have any related experience?

Kudos to Ulrich!
I have been using Setup Factory for a few years as a replacement for InstallShield.
InstallShield customer support was not only expensive, but also time consuming and utterly useless, since the Indian support rep usually just repeated what was in the manual already.
I not only prefer the Setup Factory IDE and architecture with LUA, but also the support via these forums. Very easy, responsive and first class. When you get stuck, it holds up a project in the last phases. So a lot of people are waiting to get it resolved.
The main reason why this support is so effective is because of Ulrich!
Ulrich, you are extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, and also patient!
Thank you so much for your efforts!
It is a major reason I keep renewing our contract.

PnPUnattend Registry Path?
Since I cannot do a silent install with PnPUtil (it shows the trust dialog), I am looking to use PnPUNattend:
- Add a required registry pointer to the directory containing the INF and signed CAT files
- Run PnPUnattend
- Delete entries
But in auditing with the command, there is something wrong with the way I interpret the registry entry. This is what I tried:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\UnattendSettings\PnPUnattend\Dri verPaths]
"Path1"="C:\\Temp\\"
(there is no space in DriverPaths - this is just on this web page...)
It results "No Driver Paths found." Can anybody point me to the errors of my ways?

VB6 application will not install on Windows 8.1
I have a VB6 application that my customer has been using for a decade. She recently got a laptop running Windows 8.1 (64-bit). Whenever we attempt to run the installer it fails to load key VB6 runtime files.
This message is in the log file:
[03/06/2015 14:42:03] Info
VB6 SP6 Module: Current version of MSVBVM60.DLL detected.
The VB6 SP6 runtime is already installed.
Dependency Walker, the application breaks saying it cannot find the file MSVBVM60.DLL. I looked for the file and sure enough there it is:
C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_...[boring stuff]...\msvbvm60.dll
How do I properly install this app when I cannot even get passed the preinstalled runtimes...? I am using Setup Factory 9.1 and have attached the installation log and Dependency Walker's results. For this test I chose to include only the first runtime file - msvbvm60.dll. It never gets passed this...
Any help would be appreciated...

VC++ 2010 Sp1 fails OS Dependency under Windows 8.1 ... at times
I have two similar installer for related SKUs that install VC++ 2010 SP1 x86. They use the same module. On Windows 8.1, one works, the other fails due an insufficient version. Puzzling...
Since we require Windows 7 or higher for installation, I am bypassing the version check in the dependency module, since it is not really needed. But I am still wondering, why that is happening.
This is on a system freshly installed with 8.1

getting CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA folder path
Hi
In setup factory is there a way to get the path for CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA ?
I can only see the session variable for CSIDL_APPDATA i.e. %ApplicationDataFolder%
Thanks

Silent Install Madness
My Silent Install is broken. It only passes one parameter, a user serialnumber. Setup.ini has something like this:
[SetupValues]
%UserSerialNumber%=emx100005b1
In preinstall, I have this
local INI_Serial_Number = SessionVar.Expand("%UserSerialNumber%");
...
if ( INI_Serial_Number ~= "%UserSerialNumber%" ) then
SetupData.WriteToLogFile("Info\tINI File entered key: "..INI_Serial_Number..".\r\n",true);
end
Running something like C:\Setup.exe /C:\Setup.ini
I never get the value from the ini file. This used to work...

SF9 Setting a password on a published exe file...
Running into a frustrating issue and getting no real help other than finger pointing.
Using Bitdefender on the computer. Using SF v9.5... Generate a new .exe and Bitdefender will not allow it to pass. Try an older exe made with SF 9.1 and it passes. Tried to scan the new file and end up with a request from Bitdefender to supply a password. Since one was not created by me, I have no idea what to tell it. Tried the same scan on the exe made with 9.1 and I do not get a request for a password. In fact it works exactly as you would expect. btw... Kaspersky does the same thing as we found this evening.
Attachment 12721
It appears that the exe file generated with v9.5 is somehow placing a password on the file. One I never asked for or created any code to have one at all.
So my question is, where would this password get set in the project and how to disable it. I have spent 1.5 days on this and I think I am closer to a resolution but seeing a password request has me stumped.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Is it possible to align text to right in setup factory?
I check the software "setup factory" to see if it is suitable for creating software installation for my program. But I have to align all the texts to right. RTL Language. Is it possible? Because I did not find how to do it.

Use one install multiple times to different folders (side-by-side)
Hi,
I can do an install twice, to different folder names, and using different shortcut folder names, but the desktop shortcuts are replaced with the last install, and the uninstall is replaced by the last install. Then, when the uninstall is run, the second version is uninstalled, but the second desktop items remain and are orphaned.
Any way of getting two sets of desktop icons, one set for each install, and separate uninstalls? The uninstall in particular is fairly critical.
Thanks for any help.

Uninstall.exe
Hey,
I have an older version of Setup factory
In that version, When you try to execute uninstall.exe from the folder of the installed product, you get an error.
I was wondering why this happens and whether it is fixed in newer versions?

drive option
drive option
I use setup factory 9 and have in recent times several request due to incorrect installations and since the question arises why?
the only drive that is properly installed, the drive c: \
the errors relate to drive d, e, f
Then no registry entries are created further!
Unfortunately, I can not adjust because my system does not produce errors!
(Windows XP)
Users have mostly windows 7, 8, 8.1

How do I Take Ownership of an existing file
In my SF9.5 project, I'm trying to take ownership of an existing file, so I can replace it with a different one. I know how to do it manually by going to File Properties, Security tab, Advanced, Owner tab, then Edit. But I'm not sure what processing in SF9.5 would allow me to do this. I have used and am slightly familiar with REGINI.EXE, if this is the way to do it, but I thought I'd make a post to see if there is a nice and easy way to do it in SF. Thanks, MikeT

Warning 7250: Warning: Failed to write permissions manifest to setup w/ Avast AV.
When I have Avast Anti-Virus running, almost every project I write will give me the this warning: Warning 7250: Warning: Failed to write permissions manifest to setup.
If I disable Avast for 10 minutes or longer, I no longer receive this error. My project is using the Require Administrator (default) setting. This only started happening in the last 4 or 5 months, so I believe an Avast updated caused this.
Does anyone know if I need to add an exception into Avast so I don't have to turn it off every time I want to Build my projects.
And I guess I don't know too much about what the "write manifest to setup" function really does for me.
Thx, MikeT

dumb question about if statement
I feel really dumb asking this question, but for some reason I am not getting the syntax correct on this simple script:
if ("%AppFolder%"=="") then
DlgStaticText.SetProperties(CTRL_STATICTEXT_TOPINS TRUCTIONS,{Text="Sample Text"} );
end
If I take the DlgStaticText statement outside of the conditional, it works fine. But for some reason my blank %appFolder% is not being recognized as such, so the statement is never called when within the conditional.
%appFolder% is set on a previous screen using
SessionVar.Set("%AppFolder%","");
and I have verified that it at least appears to be blank when displayed.
What dumb thing am I missing
Thanks.
Scott
