hi,

 

 I have generated an exe with install-script project and the exe is digitally signed ,when i tried installing exe in windows 10 machine nothing happens after i had agreed yes in UAC prompt. I have tried generating log file with /debuglog command in different machines wih exe's generated from IS12,IS16,IS18 and the result was not an error nor an output file.

setup.exe /a /debuglog"D:\test.log"

so, there is any other way to debug this issue? . Any help is appreciated.

 

 

 

Thanks,

debuglog only works for Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI projects, not for InstallScript projects (without MSI).

In InstallScript projects, you can sue the debugger from the Project menu.

Thanks for the answer Stefan Krueger, but the debugger could be sued only on machine which has IDE and my use case is Like i have generated the exe and rolled out for the release.

 

A user with windows - 10 machine experience an error that Nothing happens after the exe is invoked.

 

I have checked for guid under uninstall key of registry , installation information directory and i cannot find any traces of my product and also we have disabled antivirus and windows defender in the client machine.

 

Apart from all these any other way to debug and generate log file in the client machine for the exe? . Any help is appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

Logesh

Maybe try this. Just lobbing you the link, I don't have time to look at it right now. Remember that you can pass msiexec.exe command lines using the /V switch.

If I understand the original poster correctly, this is an InstallScript project, so no msiexec.exe involved.
