InstallShield: How to read write delete registry key?

Read from registry  (key value of  company_name):
function readFromRegistry(hMSI)
STRING isMajor;
STRING isMinor;
STRING netBios;
STRING szUninstallKey;
STRING szKey, szName, svValue, szMsg, strOurVersion;
STRING szNumName, szNumValue, svNumValue, TITLE, svTargetVer, szPropertyValue;
INT nvType, nvSize, nType, nSize, numSize, nResult;
begin
nvSize= 256;
REGDB_OPTIONS = REGDB_OPTIONS | REGDB_OPTION_WOW64_64KEY;
RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) ;
RegDBGetKeyValueEx(szKey, szName, nvType, svValue, nvSize);
if (RegDBGetKeyValueEx "SOFTWARE\\COMPANYNAME\\PRODUCTNAME",   "company_name", nvType, svNumValue,
nvSize) < 0) then
//Failed
else
//Success;
endif;
end;

Write to registry (i.e. only write during upgrade I_Am_Upgrading key with value “True”):
function WriteUpgradeRegistry(hMSI)
STRING isMajor;
STRING isMinor;
STRING netBios;
STRING szUninstallKey;
STRING szKey, szName, svValue, szMsg, strOurVersion;
STRING szNumName, szNumValue, svNumValue, TITLE, svTargetVer, szPropertyValue;
INT nvType, nvSize, nType, nSize, numSize, nResult;
begin
nvSize= 256;
MsiGetProperty(hMSI, "IS_MAJOR_UPGRADE", isMajor, nvSize);
MsiGetProperty(hMSI, "IS_MINOR_UPGRADE", isMinor, nvSize);
REGDB_OPTIONS = REGDB_OPTIONS | REGDB_OPTION_WOW64_64KEY;
RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) ;
RegDBGetKeyValueEx(szKey, szName, nvType, svValue, nvSize);
if(isMajor == "1" || isMinor == "1") then
if (RegDBSetKeyValueEx ("SOFTWARE\\COMPANYNAME\\PRODUCTNAME",   "I_Am_Upgrading",
REGDB_STRING, "True",-1) < 0) then
//Failed
else
//Success
endif;
endif;
end;

Remove Key from registry:
function RemoveRegistryKey(hMSI)
STRING isMajor;
STRING isMinor;
STRING netBios;
STRING szUninstallKey;
STRING szKey, szName, svValue, szMsg, strOurVersion;
STRING szNumName, szNumValue, svNumValue, TITLE, svTargetVer, szPropertyValue;
INT nvType, nvSize, nType, nSize, numSize, nResult;
begin
nvSize= 256;
REGDB_OPTIONS = REGDB_OPTIONS | REGDB_OPTION_WOW64_64KEY;
RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) ;
RegDBGetKeyValueEx(szKey, szName, nvType, svValue, nvSize);

if (RegDBDeleteValue (“SOFTWARE\\COMPANYNAME\\PRODUCTNAME”,   “I_Am_Upgrading”) < 0) then
//Failed
else
//Success
endif;
end;

 

InstallShield: Detect why my installer asks for restart

Leave a comment
  • How do I detect why my installer asks for restart during execution?

Few suggestions:

  1. Run your installer with logs (from command line)
    YourInstaller.exe /debuglog"C:\PathToLog\myLogFile.log" /V"/L*v c:\PathToLog\myMSI.log"
    Open the log file and look for: (1)restart messages (2) [file-name] is being held in use… etc.
  2. Use WhyReboot tool: WhyReboot tool
  3. Look in the registry for other operations which cannot be performed during the installation and will be executed after the restart: RegistryKeysAfterRestart

Good luck…

  • How to fix this error on your automated build?

MSBuild: error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the  declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

This error appears usually when a project was created in a newer visual studio version than the one installed in your build machine  (using a different v… build tools). You can check your version by going into this path and looking for a v… folder:  C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\.

For example, if the projects requires V120 and your build machine has v110 installed, do the following in order to fix the build:

  1.  On your MSBuild command add property VCTargetsPath with the correct path: /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=Win32 /t:Rebuild  /property:VCTargetsPath="C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\v110"
  2.  Open your vcxporject and modify all of your PlatformToolset from v120 to v110:<PlatformToolset>v120</PlatformToolset> should be replaced with:  <PlatformToolset>v110</PlatformToolset>

Alternatively,  of course, you could install the correct Visual Studio version:

i.e.:

v110 (build tools) = require installation of Visual Studio 2012

v120 (build tools) = require installation of Visual Studio 2013
