installation on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 systems. The PCA dialog box indicated that the program
might not have installed correctly. This dialog box was displayed if the installation did not create the application
uninstallation key. This may happen if the end user cancels the installation or the installation fails to complete
successfully.
Updated Visual Studio Merge Modules
InstallShield includes updated versions of the Visual Studio 2008 SP1, Visual Studio 2005 SP1, and Visual Studio
.NET 2003 SP1 merge modules that are installed in
default. The updates include changes that were made for
Visual Studio Active Template Library Could Allow Remote Code Execution (969706)).
Windows Installer 5 Support for Configuring New Customization Options for Windows Services,
Plus Other Service-Related Improvements
InstallShield now includes support for configuring extended customization options for Windows services. The
customization options include a new delayed auto-start capability to help system startup performance, improved
failure detection and recovery options to improve system reliability, and more. Windows Installer 5 supports these
new options; earlier versions of Windows Installer ignore them.
To configure the new service-related settings, use the new Services node in the Advanced Settings area for a
component in the Setup Design view (in installation projects) or the Components view. All of the services for a
component are now grouped and listed by service name under the Services node. In addition, the previously
available service-related settings are now consolidated in the same grid with the new settings. In earlier versions of
InstallShield, these previously available service-related settings were split among separate subviews for the Install
NT Services and Control NT Services nodes. The consolidated grid of settings makes it easier to create a
component that installs, configures, starts, stops, or deletes a new or existing service during installation or
uninstallation.
Validation for the Windows 7 Logo Program
InstallShield includes two new validation suites: InstallShield Validation Suite for Windows 7 and InstallShield
Merge Module Validation Suite for Windows 7. These validation suites can help you verify that your Windows
Installer–based installation or merge module meets the installation requirements of the Compatible with Windows 7
logo program. If you want to be able to use the Windows 7 logo artwork, your product's installation must meet the
program's requirements.
If you want to configure InstallShield to perform validation with these validation suites each time that a release is
successfully built: On the Tools menu, click Options. On the Validation tab, select the appropriate check boxes.
If you want to perform validation separately from the build process: On the Build menu, point to Validation, and
then click the appropriate new suite.
Windows Installer 5 Support for Setting Windows Shell Properties for a Shortcut
The Shortcuts view in InstallShield now lets you specify one or more shortcut properties that need to be set by the
Windows Shell at run time. For example, if you do not want the Start menu entry for one of your shortcuts to be
highlighted as newly installed after end users install your product, you can set a property for that shortcut. You
might want to use this property with shortcuts that are for tools and secondary products.
