Retry acts as Ignore in Filesinuse dialog on Windows 7
Hi,
I'm trying to create a windows installer package for my application using InstallShield. I've created a FilesinUse dialog with Retry, Ignore and Cancel buttons.
On Windows 7 during installvalidate action if a file is in use then this dialog is displayed but if user clicks Retry then instead of doing the costing again it simply goes ahead with the installation. Entries in ControlEvent table are proper.
I can see following lines in MSI log after user clicks Retry button:
MSI (s) (2C:B8) [07:06:44:680]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: BindImage

Action ended 7:06:45: InstallValidate. Return value 1.
Interestingly problem happens only on Windows 7 (windows installer version 5.0) and Windows XP (Windows Installer Version 4.5) works fine.
Is this a known/documented issue with Windows 7? Why is this happening?

We also faced similar issue on Win 7 , are you using /qn or /q only ?..The trick lies to change this switch it will work.

hey,
thanks for the quick reply.
I dont get your question.
I guess /qn is for silent installtion. But I am not doing it in silent mode.

yes.. we do have all the rights.. but this issue is not related to permission.
We are able to install on windows installer 4.5.. Only 5.0 gives a problem.
Is there any property or key need to be set before building exe??

This is a issue with Windows installer 5.0 and there are no workarounds. You can investigate restart manager if it fits into your requirements (RM is not supported on XP).........

We have opened a case with MS for this. Will post here if MS suggests any workarounds or hotfix.
