Trying to install a MSI that requires ISscript

Hi there,

I am trying to install: Microsoft VSNet integrations for C++ and Fortran
This integrates the Intel Fortran Compiler into Visual Studio .NET.

When I run the MSI which should integrate the program, but in stead, I get this error message:

The InstallScript engine is missing from this machine. If available, please run ISScript.msi, or contact your support personnel for further assistance.

I installed the ISscript 8 msi delivered with the installation package, but no luck yet.

Anyone some advice?

Kind regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis!

The different ISScript Engines is, for some reason not backward-compatible, so if you need ISScript 9, you have to install ISScript 9...

But if you took it from the installation, it's supposed to work...

Maybe you can try download the other ISScripts versions and see if any of those works.

I tried different version, but no succes yet.

Isn't it possible to strip the ISscript check from the package?

Follow those instructions and it should work as long as the correct version of ISSCRIPT is already installed on the workstations or gets installed before the package.

Hi again!

You can usually remove the ISScript check, but I would not recommend you to do it.
If your install can't find the ISScript Engine, your installation might fail because it probably needs the ISScript file thats missing.

@ComfortablySad

I tried your solution, but the OnCheckSilentInstall custom action does not exist. Can I create it, and what value shout it get?

Guys the original versions of ISScript.msi cannot be installed in local system account(thru tools like landdesk or scheduling thru 'at' command) . Make sure that you remove the property RunasUser thru ORCA in the Isscript.msi to enable its installation in LSA account.

The ISscript that is delivered with the installer does not contain a RunasUser property in the property table.

Opps !! it is the RunAs name key in the registry table that you have to delete
