[DUG] InstallAware Questions

RE: [DUG] InstallAware Questions
Howdi, I have the same question but with Microsoft SQL Server (ie MSDE equivalent). Good experiences? Bad? Is it hard to customise so that for example the installer checks whether an default instance of SQL Server is already installed (can be done by checking registry) and offers the user a choice of whether to use that or install a new one? Can you run SQL from within the installer (eg to attach/restore a database)? Lots of questions I know. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Another alternative is to fully script it yourself using Inno Setup (which is written in Delphi). The scripting language it provides is very similar to Delphi, and you should be able to find references in the Inno Setup forums to other posters using Inno Setup to deploy database stuff, although I haven't done it myself. http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php BTW, it's free and open-source.

Re: [DUG] InstallAware Questions
Sinan's response (he doesn't subscribe to this list). Apologies if this comes through a couple of times. Hey Jeremy, Great questions! 1. Sure, InstallAware itself is a Delphi app :) And I believe some Interbase apps have been deployed also. 2. Good :) 3. Able to install SQL Server Express (any instance), able to run SQL scripts on Oracle, MySQL, and MSSQL platforms. 4. Quite easy to install a custom instance. Just check the runtime and then click the Options button! That's all it takes. You can test for a custom instance. You get 40% better compression on the SQL installer size. You can web deploy just the SQL installer. The instance checking looks for the service name so its more reliable too! 5. You can check for an existing instance. A pre-built dialog shows you how. You can of course run scripts and attach databases. Sincerely, Sinan On 1/30/07, Cheng Wei (FMI) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Has anyone used InstallAware to deploy their Delphi/Interbase apps?

RE: [DUG] InstallAware Questions
Thanks for that! - I will have to read up more on this and do some
experimenting!
The specific need I have for it is in this distribution update section:
[Files]
;only send files put in the JBCLDIST folder
Source: C:\JBCLDIST\*.exe; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion
And the files I send vary from one distribution to another - I just put the
files I want into the distribution folder and the Inno compiler picks up
whatever is there. Will the suggestion you made or the flag calling a
script..
; BeforeInstall: MyBeforeInstall
Added at the end of the line allow me to call a procedure to only backup the
files distributed in this setup? I will have to play with how it interprets
wild cards
