    <p>I have seen many solutions for automating my InstallShield build, but I am having issues with each one. I am using InstallShield Professional 2013. Sorry for the lengthy question, but I am clueless on which direction to go to solve my issues.</p> <p>1) <a href="http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield15helplib/ISCmdBldParam.htm" rel="nofollow">IsCmdBld.exe</a> - I have a script that runs and will build my installer. BUT, when the installer runs, I get an error message that says <code>"The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"</code>. I am not sure why this is happening, but I do not get the same error message if I build the installer through the designer. EDIT: Here is my command (%guid% is a Guid I generate to set the Product Code):</p> <pre><code>for /f %%i in ('"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\uuidgen.exe"') do set guid=%%i "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2013 SP1 SAB\System\ISCmdBld.exe" -p "MyInstaller.ism" -r SingleImage -y "1.0.0.13" -z ProductCode=%guid% </code></pre> <p>2) <a href="http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalID=Q110820" rel="nofollow">InstallShield Automation Interface</a> - I have followed numerous examples and tutorials on this, but all end in the same result. When I call the following code:</p> <pre><code> var project = new ISWiAuto20.ISWiProject(); </code></pre> <p>I get this error:</p> <pre><code>Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'ISWiAuto20.ISWiProject'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{872D23A7-C18D-468C-895D-1CF027E4FBB1}' failed due to the following error: Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED)). </code></pre> <p>3) <a href="http://helpnet.installshield.com/installshield16helplib/MSBuild.htm" rel="nofollow">MsBuild.exe</a> - Running MsBuild on my InstallShield project file yields this error:</p> <pre><code>error NSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 1 </code></pre>

    1. CO1) can you show the options you use 2) can you try with `IswiAuto19.ISWiProject()` 3) an ism is binary so there's no way MsBuild can run that

    2. CO@stinj I edited my answer to show the options I am using. Also I do not have `IswiAuto19` because I am using installshield 2013, which is version 20.

    3. COTell me more about your existing build automation system. Are you starting from scratch or do you already have automation in place for other parts of your system. BuildForge, TFS, Jenkins? Nant, MSBuild, Perl, Bat? Nothing? There are many ways to automate InstallShield builds to support the many different systems customers might have in place.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
