Installshield problems

[ColinParker]

Hi there,

i am trying to automate the drive install and have run into a few problems. As the parameters required by the install.exe program are in quotes, installshield throws an exception. Is there anyway of passing the licence information using the install.ini file? I notice there is a
[Default]
PrinterName=""

is there one for licence?

cheers

Hello Colin,

Yes, there is a way to pass the information in the .ini file. Please contact our Support support@amyuni.com for more information.

Joan,

The answer to this question would be of interest to many of us on this forum. Can the information be posted here please?

Hello,

Below are the contents of isntall.ini file.

[Default]
PrinterName="Amyuni PDF Converter"
Licensee="Evaluation Version"
LicCode="07EFC...010001"

Please note that the licCode value is just an illustration and you should add the complete string.

Hi,

I just want to add a reminder: as you know the Activation key is confidential, so install.ini is confidential as well and can not be distributed to your customers.

Install.ini is used mainly with a Corporate license when installed on different workstations inside the same company.

Have a nice day !

Hello,

Try using the escape character '\' to escape double quotes in your Installshield script

szAppName = TARGETDIR ^ "Install.exe";
szPrinterName = "\"My PDF Printer\"";
szLicensee = "\"Evaluation Developer License\"";
szActivationCode = "\"ABCDEFG\"";
szAppCmdLine = szPrinterName + " -n " + szLicensee + " -c " + szActivationCode;

LaunchAppAndWait(szAppName, szAppCmdLine, LAAW_OPTION_WAIT);

Hope this helps someone (even if it is 8 months since the last post)
