"Access is denied" on an .ini file

≪ Previous: Lua5.1.dll is being added to my installer

Hi,

my setup includes an .ini file to be installed on a windows 8; after installation, I try to modify this .ini and when saving, I get an "Access is denied"; if I go the securities properties of this file, "Everyone" with "Full control" is not present ! how can I solve that to give full control on this file and more over to give full control on the parent directory (I recall : on Windows 8)

PS: I have tried the following found somewhere on the net :

Code:

Folder.SetAttributes( SessionVar.Expand("%AppFolder%"), SID_EVERYBODY, SET_ACCESS, ALL_PERMISSIONS, SUB_CONTAINERS_AND_OBJECTS_INHERIT);

but I get this error message while installing :

Code:

On Post Install, Line 1 : attempt to call field 'SetAttributes' (a nil value)



Stack Traceback



...

thanks in advance,
sincerely,
Domi.

Registry Key Name with spaces in it...

≪ Previous: "Access is denied" on an .ini file

I have a registry key whose name is "SereneScreen Marine Aquarium Lite_is1"; It's an uninstall key, which I need to access. I am using the Wow64 plugin, and getting a "the specified sub key does not exist." error.

I've tried a variety of SessionVar.Expand statements, like this:
SessionVar.Expand("%ProductARPRegPath%").."\\"..Se ssionVar.Expand( "\"%ProductARPKeyName%\"" )

with and without extra quotes; can someone tell me how I need to piece this together to get at this key?

Thanks in advance!

Sql Server 2008 R2 password requirements

July 1, 2013, 1:29 pm

≫ Next: First contact with SF9, it's the right thing to do?

≪ Previous: Registry Key Name with spaces in it...

We've built an installer that includes the Sql Server 2008 R2 dependency. It's worked fine on some machines. But in our testing, we've run into one machine where it fails with the following message:

The specified sa password does not meet strong password requirements.

AIUI, the sa password that is being used to create the database is specified within your Sql Server 2008 R2 dependency. I'm not sure why this policy is being enforced on some user machines and not on others, but we need an install that will work on every machine we try it on, and not require that the end user mess about with configuring password requirements prior to install.

Is this something that others have run into before? Is there a recommended way of handling it?

≫ Next: Is it possible to invoke .suf dynamically to create a setup file

≪ Previous: Sql Server 2008 R2 password requirements

Hi! this is my first contact with Setup Factoy, i'm trying to create a draft version installer with Setup Factory trial, I wonder if this is the correct way to perform a check based on previously read a record written by a previous version of it to see if the version installed is above, equal or superior to that petende install.
I'm trying to do it this way and it seems to work but not if it is the right way. At the stage of Actions -> On Startup I use this ...

Code:

valor = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\FAD\\ACNTV", "Version", false);



if valor == "" then

        -- Nothing

else

        if valor == "09" then

        result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Version already install in this PC", MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

        Application.Exit();

        else

                if valor < "09" then

                        result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "There is already a version installed on this computer.", MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

                        Application.Exit();

                else

                        if valor > "09" then

                        result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "There is already a higher version installed on this computer.", MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

                        Application.Exit();

                        end

                end

        end

end

And in the Actions -> On Post Install i use this...

Code:

Registry.CreateKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\FAD\\ACNTV");

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\FAD\\ACNTV", "Version", "09", REG_SZ);

Comment I would appreciate your views on this to see if I am on track.
From already thank you very much!

Trying Setup Factory 9

≫ Next: error on lage multi volume Installs ?

≪ Previous: Remove shortcut icon on desktop / windows 8

I Started Trying SF9 as i could not Create an Installer in AMS with Multiple Disc Extracting Function.
however i Found 2 Problems
1.When I Create a Registry Key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE "Software\\My Application"
it is created instead in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE "Software\\Wow6432Node\\My Application"
Code used:

Code:

Registry.CreateKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\My Application");

Registry.SetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\My Application", "MyValue", "My Data", REG_SZ);

Well I Use a 64bit Windows 7 System but i should be able to choose where to Create The Key in Wow6432 Node or not.

2.My Second Problem is Compression, SF9 use 7zip LZMA Compression (the reason im Actually Trying SF9), so i tried it and found its way less efficient than the actual 7zip (v9.20).
i Tied Compressing Many Random Files in my HDD with 7zip and Setup Factory 9 (Total Size 17.8GB) Settings used in Both Programs:
7Zip: LZMA, 512MB Dictionary, 32word, 2Threads
SF9: LZMA High, 512MB Dictionary, 32word, 2Threads
Results:
7Zip: 4.31GB
SF9: 6.68GB
I tried everything with LZMA2 on Both Programs and Got Exact Same Results.

This one is More Important for me Than The Registry Problem so Please Anyone Can Tell how to Make SF9 as Efficient as 7zip as It Actually use 7Zip Compression.
Because not only Deploying Installers if am Getting SF9 i may use it as a Fancy Hard Drive to DVD Backup Tool :)

Another minor thing, when i use

Code:

Application.SetInstallLanguage(12, 1);

i have to click next for the language to Change to French is there a way to Change the Language Immediately on the same Page ? (im using radio buttons to choose the Language.) i want the Launguage to Change as soon i click the Radio Button.
Thanks.

in the help file it say

Code:

Note: If you are generating a multi-segment install (not Web (Single File)), you must use the /W command line option if you want the setup to wait for return (Web (Single File) installs always wait for return). Generally you shouldn't wait for return on very large multi-segment installs as memory errors may occur.

what does this mean ? what is wait for return ? what is muti segment install ? dont want error to happen :huh

I'm sure this is something very simple, but I can't seem to get Screen.Jump to work. The Help File syntax is:

Screen.Jump (string ScreenName)

I assume that by ScreenName they mean the Screen ID in the designer? In any case, I want to jump to the PreLoad section of the current screen. I expect that when calling Screen.Jump it will go to the Preload section of the target screen? But the jump does not seem to be happening.

Am I missing something?

Hello to everyone,
I have a setup compiled and distributed with SF9.1 that runs on this scenario :
Windows 8 Pro 64bit with two accounts :

Tester (standard user)
Developer (administrator user)

Now, I'm testing this setup logged as standard user.

When I execute uninstall process (from installed programs list) SessionVar %LaunchUserMyDocumentsFolder% return "C:\Users\Developer\Documents" instead "C:\Users\Tester\Documents".

The problem is that I'm installing my program in '%LaunchUserMyDocumentsFolder%\\%ProductName%' so when I execute uninstall, the process fails to load WOW64 plugin stored by the install process in "C:\Users\Tester\Documents\%ProductName%\Uninstall".

I don't know why but the uninstall process search WOW64 plugin in "C:\Users\Developer\Documents\%ProductName%\Uninstall" (administrator user) instead "C:\Users\Tester\Documents\%ProductName%\Uninstall" (launch user).

Any ideas ?
