What are the steps to make it seamless for a customer to use the install program and then use the installed program?

I wrote an install program (.exe) that is downloaded from a website.  When run, it 1) leads a customer to browse to a directory, and 2) copies files (.exe, .dll, etc.) from a website to that directory.  When I run, the installed program works.

This site https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/2kt85ked%28v=vs.110%29.aspx provides a basic description of the Visual Studio Windows Installer. 
Near the bottom of the page is "You can unlock all the features of InstallShield by paying to upgrade to the full version of InstallShield."  Where do I find info that describes the differences between the "free" and the "full"
versions?

Hello,
The default feature does support the task for your requirement, so there is no need to pay for the other features unless you want to use some feature which is not free.
In addition, as this thread
InstallShield LE not available with VS 2012 RTM? shared, even through there is a link to InstallShield LE in the New Project dialog under Deployment solutions, but it belongs to third-party that I would recommend you consider posting this issue
at the following forum to get supports about InstallShield.

  • [Automator] Using an ls command and then getting the finder items?

    So i want to make an automator app that looks for all external hard drives and then ejects them. Unfortunatly to my experimentation you cant use the finder actions to search in the root directory so i simply added a shell script with
    ls /Volumes
    which works.
    then i have a Filter finder items so it doesnt try to eject the Macintosh HD
    then i have eject Disk.
    The problem lies in that the shell script does not spit out finder items to the filter so the filter throws a warning because it isnt supplied the required data.
    My question is, how do i get the shell script to pass down finder items to the filter so everything else runs through smoothly?
    EDIT: i have python installed if that helps for simplicity i also know a small bit of C
    Thanks
    Tom Copcutt

    Where did he say that? He only stated that he wanted to avoid ejecting the HD, which isn't possible in any case.
    If avoiding .dmg is the issue, one way would be to hard code the possible disk names by using a list like this:
    Replace the example volume names with your own volume names inside the curly brackets below;
    Names must be quoted and comma separated as shown.
    Spaces in names ARE allowed. You can name as many or as few volumes as you wish.
    set gDiskList to {"External1 500GB", "Time Machine HD", "External2 HD", "External3 45GB"}
    repeat with i in gDiskList
              set i to quoted form of i
          try
                        do shell script "diskutil umount " & i
              end try
    end repeat

  • If I have 2 TVs at home and want to buy 2 apple TVs to connect my current TVs, can I use 1 new iPad and then play the movies on the 2 apple TVs at the same time?

    as title...

    iWork is universal, so it will work full-res on the iPad. This is true for any app which has the plus sign symbol (in the App Store in iTunes it will say "This app is designed for iPhone and iPad".

  • What is the best workflow procedure for importing DV SP 16x9 footage into FCP7 and then exporting the best quality 16x9 to standard DVD so that it looks great (or at least good) on a 50" Samsung LCD TV ?????? Please help! anybody?? Thanks!

    We are using a Sony HDV-Z7U camera for acquisition. We recently recorded an event using the camera's non HD capabilities. We set the camera to record "DV SP" 16x9 settings on both Mini-DV tape and CF card.
    To import the DV SP footage into FCP7 we chose the "DV NTSC anamorphic" setting in the log and transfer settings window. After a successful transfer from the CF card (the CF card held approximately 83 minutes) we checked the size of the file and found it to be 16 Gigs! Why so big? An 83 miniDV tape shot in SD should easily fit on a standard 4.7 gig MPEG2 DVD.
    We need to burn DVDs of this show - we sent it to compressor and got horrible quality.
    What is the best setting to use in FCP7's log and transfer settings window to import DV SP 16x9 standard def. footage and what is the best method for exporting for outputting this footage to DVD that preserves the original quality of the DV SP footage?? Anyone? Many thanks

    > Why so big? An 83 miniDV tape shot in SD should easily fit on a standard 4.7 gig MPEG2 DVD.
    No it doesn't. DV is 13GB per hour.
    In any case, a Video DVD uses the MPEG 2 codec, not DV.
    >What is the best setting to use in FCP7's log and transfer settings window to import DV SP 16x9 standard def.
    DV NTSC anamorphic.
    >what is the best method for exporting for outputting this footage to DVD...
    Use the Compressor DVD preset "Best Quality 90 mins".
    >...that preserves the original quality of the DV SP footage?
    Not going to happen, you are compressing by a factor of 1:4. Shooting as HDV would have given you better quality material to start with. DV is at the bottom end of the scale.

  • I use the iPad to play backing tracks for my work. I need separate playlist and then to be able to select album just within that so I can play one track at a time. iOS 5 has clumped all my music together and I can no longer do this in playlist. WHY?

    To be honest I don't need a lot of people commenting on this.  I need Apple to comment because too many people have complained and they seem not to give a stuff.  So will I be buying an Apple iPad 2 or 3? NOOOOOO!  I suppose the only way is to protest with what I buy and sadly it won't be Apple.

    This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.
    Try Groove for iPad. People seem to think it's a great replacement to the previous music app.

  • Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

    I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks.  The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed.  I wish
    to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8.  Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation? 
    If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
    This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

    Technically, no.  The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system.  It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
    You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM.  A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
    Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
    Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
    A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
    for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
    You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
    The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.

  • Is there a way to authenticate an iPad to our WLAN using a digital certificate and then authorize the user in Active Directory?

    We want to authenticate both a device (iPad) to our corporate WLAN, but after authenticating the device we would also like to authentiate the user in Active Directory if possible.  Has anyone had any experience with this?

    You need to make sure that the server sends the "GeoTrust DV SSL CA" intermediate certificate.

  • When using firefox to search and then print, the printing is very small. This doesn't happen when using another browzer? Can I fix?

    When visiting different web sites (fidelity, sutter health , etc) from the Firefox browzer and I try and print, the printing always comes out very small like maybe a size 4 or 6. When I use another browzer it comes out normal size. Is there a way I can correct this? Also you should know I'm not real computer smart.
    Thanks for any help you can provide

    Once you set that preference it should hold that setting. You could try 125% but it might clip the right-side of the page.

  • When iTunes Match, matches the incorrect song, is there a way of removing that song from iTunes Match and then choosing the correct song?

    I have had iTunes Match now for a year. It's great. However the more I listen to my library the more songs I come across dodgy sounding songs, incorrect songs and censored songs.  Especially when listening to a Kings of Leon album and the main song is incorrect on in iTunes Match!  I've read that there is no cure, but when will Apple be making it correct (all in needs is a "get info" kind of thing).  If deleting the albums off iTunes and iTunes Match then re-adding them in to the cloud then I can do that. In the grand scheme of things it's only a handful of songs in 20k - but albums I listen to regularly!

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

  • I can't install on uninstall iTunes on my laptop; running Windows XP.  I've tried all the steps in Apple Support as well as Windows support.  Can anyone help?  I fet the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable

    I can't install or uninstall iTunes on my laptop.  I've followed all the steps on Apple Support as well as Microsoft support.  I get the error "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Pick an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi".  This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and I'm very frustrated.  From what I can see, I'm not the only one with this problem, but I have yet to see anyone post a solution that works.  Microsoft wants to charge me $99 to troubleshoot it for me and Apple will charge $20.  I think both are ridiculous as this is obviously not "operator error".

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
    I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
    I hope that makes sense.
