Installshield Setup Inx



We are moving our InstallShield projects into a GIT repository. Most of the projects are either Merge Module or InstallScript MSI projects. While inspecting the InstallScript MSI projects it appears that there are a number of binary files in the project directory, specifically 'Setup.dbg', 'Setup.inx', and 'Setup.obs'.

Installshield Setup Windows 10

After the installation has been completed, the Computer must be restarted.

Now, the setup has completed the installation of TwinCAT.

Silent installation


You have the option of letting InstallShield create the response file for you. Simply run your setup with theSetup.exe-r command line parameter. InstallShield will record all your setup choices in Setup.iss and place the file in the Windows folder.

All InstallShield built-in and Sd dialog box functions are designed to write values into the Setup.iss file when InstallShield runs in record mode (Setup -r). If you are creating custom dialog boxes, you will need to call SdMakeName and SilentWriteData to add sections and dialog box data to the response file when setup runs in record mode. Refer to the Sd dialogs' source code in the <InstallShield location>Include folder for examples of using these functions to write to Setup.iss. Please read the following section for more information about what data to add to Setup.iss when calling SdMakeName and SilentWriteData.

After you have created the setup and the response file, do the following:

  1. Place the response file (which is located in your Windows folder) in the Setup Files pane's AdvancedDisk 1 folder.
  2. Build your media. If you are creating a self-extracting executable for your setup, enter -s in the Setup Command Line Parameters edit box of the Media Wizard's Self-Extracting Package panel or the media property sheet's Packaging page.

Decompile Installshield Setup.inx

Now you are ready to run the setup in silent mode using InstallShield Silent. When running an setup in silent mode, be aware that no messages are displayed. Instead, a log file namedSetup.logcaptures setup information, including whether the setup was successful. You can review the log file and determine the result of the setup. (Note that for certain setup initialization errors, the log file may instead be named Setupexe.log and be created in SUPPORTDIR if the setup is run from the Internet or in SRCDIR otherwise.)

Installshield Setup.inx

To launch InstallShield Silent, runSetup.exewith the -s option.

Installshield setup uninstall quiet mode

InstallShield also provides the -f1 and -f2 switches so you can specify the name and location of the response file and the location of the log file.

To verify if a silent setup succeeded, look at the ResultCode value in the [ResponseResult] section of Setup.log. InstallShield writes an appropriate return value after the ResultCode keyname.

Installshield Setup Inx Not Found

Setup.log is the default name for the silent setup log file, and its default location is Disk1 (in the same folder as Setup.inx). You can specify a different name and location for Setup.log using the -f1 and -f2 switches with Setup.exe

The second section, [Application], identifies the installed application's name and version, and the company name.
The third section, [ResponseResult], contains the result code indicating whether or not the silent setup succeeded. An integer value is assigned to the ResultCode keyname in the [ResponseResult] section. InstallShield places one of the following return values after the ResultCode keyname:

Installshield setup extract0 Success.
-1 General error.
-2 Invalid mode.
-3 Required data not found in the Setup.iss file.
-4 Not enough memory available.
