Inno Setup Code

[Kylee Evancho]

Whatis the equivalent for Visual studio installer upgrade code in Inno Setup? I found this article How do I uninstall related products in Inno Setup using an InstallShield Upgrade Code GUID to search for products using the upgrade code. Is AppId same as UpgradeCode? I'm new to Inno setup, could anyone help me out here?

The AppId is sort of related; given two installers (or more commonly two versions of the same installer) with the same id, by default Inno will offer to install into the same folder as the previous install, and the two will share uninstall information.

Generally, when releasing an upgraded version of the same application all you need to do is to ensure that the AppId (or the AppName if you didn't specify an id) is the same as in the older version, and everything will just work.

This will let the user select where to install on first install, but hide the selection on subsequent installs/upgrades. Since Inno defaults to the previous location anyway, this avoids any possible confusion (and leftover files) that can result from changing the install location from one install to the next.

Beyond that there is rarely any need to do anything else. On rare occasions you might make a particular file used in a prior version redundant (eg. no longer using a particular library); if you wish you can deal with this by using an [InstallDelete] entry to remove any files from prior versions that are no longer required. (Always ensure that you only delete specific files by name -- using wildcards is extremely dangerous.) There's usually not much harm in leaving redundant files behind, though (unless they're huge) -- they'll still eventually get cleaned up if the user uninstalls.

I want to dynamically derive the source folder (and destination folder) for 32/64 bit installations. So how can I specify that in the [Files] section of Inno setup.The following gives a compilation error:->

The source path needs to be used at compile time (unless you have the external flag) which means you must use ISPP and a #define. The [Code] section is only for run/install time code so will work for the target path.

I have just purchased a code signing certificate from Comodo. I have built a small MS Access database that I want to deploy with Inno Setup Installer. The script runs fine but I am completely new to code signing.

Note the $p at the end, Inno Setup needs this...You should now have this, and note that I have added the path to signtool.exe in my path variables and that I am using DigiCert's time server to time-stamp my signature.

Now this works for me because I have prepared my signature store in such a way that the command line can get the signature and I have only one code sign signature so I will not need to name it, your parameters may be different than mine are, and that's okay as long as in the end, your setup works and your code gets signed.

Once you download and install signtool.exe from Microsoft, put the full path of the signtool.exe into the command of the sign tool if it is not added to the path variables at step three of the previous answer:

Paste in the text you use to sign your executables from the command line. Replace the name of the file to sign with $f. Inno Setup will replace the $f variable with the file that is being signed.

I have tryed this in wondiws 10 cna not et it to work i installed the sdk the singtool is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x64\signtool.exe inno complie fails with

Sign Tool command failed (Failed to execute Sign Tool command.

run the signtool command as shown in this guide, from the command line, but replace $f with some other file. I recommend adding /debug after the sign parameter. But more importantly, Win SDK 10 and up require to add (also after "sign") the following parameter /fd SHA256

Without it, the tool would fail. Another gotcha is to make sure the certificate was created with code signing usage. If not, the tool won't use it for signing code.

I sign VBA-Code. I'm using in Word -> developer -> VisualBasic

Here I go to Tools -> Digital Signature

What do I have to use as "Command for the sing tool?" in this case?

Thanks for help

So, I'd added the inno setup script to automatically deactivate the program when it gets uninstalled. However, the script which came out of the box didn't work.I then edited the script as shown below, but it still doesn't work. My app remains activated even after uninstallation (to test it, I just re-install the app after uninstallation, and the previous activation is still active).

Well, if you look at the code you'll see that if the Deactivation fails then it just continues on like nothing happened. So, you need to modify the script to use the "ret" value from Deactivate(), and prompt the user to either cancel the installation, warn them that no deactivation took place, or to let them connect to the internet and/or unblock the LimeLM activation servers to allow the deactivation to take place.

I don't distinctly call out to include the dat and dll files in the code, since they are already included in the 'Files' section of inno setup as part of my program. Also, I've renamed the turboactivate.dat and .dll files, hopefully that isn't the issue?

My guess is that because you've renamed TurboActivate.dat, you haven't passed the new filename to TurboActivate.dll so that it know where the file actually is. And thus Deactivate is giving you an error "8" (which is 0x8 in hexadecimal, which you can then look up in TurboActivate.h and see this:

Of course this is just speculation. You need to read the actual error codes to know what is actually happening. If that is what's happening, and you want you continue to use custom filenames, then you'll have to use "PDetsFromPath()".

I'm not talking about the exit code of the installer or uninstaller. I'm talking about the return codes for the functions. Use message boxes to print out what the return code for the TurboActivate functions (without the return codes you're just flying blind changing things that don't matter).

3. If renaming turboactivate.dat is the problem, I understand I'll need to pass in the PDetsFromPath function. However, while I was able to use this function in my vb application, I don't know how to use this in my inno set up program, since the PDetsFromPath function isn't part of the inno setup API. I'm not sure of the syntax or how I'd need to pass this function in.

The fascination with vibrations and the phenomena measurable through them gave rise to the development of a piezoelectric sensor and, quite literally, paved its way into existence. This innovative sensor found application in the far north within the Aurora Intelligent Road Project initiated by the Transport Agency. Utilizing machine learning, this sensor distinguished between cars based on their measurements, evolving to a point where it achieved a remarkable level of precision, even recognizing pedestrians with an accuracy approaching that of well-known automobile brands.

A noteworthy incident during the sensor's operation occurred when uncertainty arose about one of the pedestrians that was detected. Upon closer inspection, a video from the measurement site revealed that the identified pedestrian was, in fact, a squirrel crossing the road. This amusing revelation underscored the remarkable sensitivity of the sensor and hinted at the diverse possibilities it offered.

In these contemporary times, we have come to recognize the vast potential of machine learning in predictive maintenance. Previously absent from our toolkit was the abiliti to predict equipment failures and forecast their timing. Today, our system is equipped to alert us to the smallest deviations detected in a device's operation. It not only monitors the unfolding situation but also provides an opportunity for timely repairs. This proactive approach allows for the scheduling of maintenance downtime during periods of low criticality, mitigating the impact of possible production interruptions.

As a side note...you have a potential latent bug in your code. It's not a good idea to use exceptions as a control flow mechanism. If you call to sqlcmd.exe does some work in the database but still exits with an error you could potentially run some database commands a second time with the call using osql in your except block. I would recommend employing a different approach to determining when to osql versus sqlcmd.
