[Yltsä]

Hi again,

this is the situation in the target computer when the setup is OK but the designer mode not in the dev. machine:

Here is the Common.wxs..

This runs ok in the dev. machine..

Maybe this file must be updated in the Common.wxs:

<Merge Id="MStudioCommon" Language="0" SourceFile="$(var.MergeModulesDir)\MStudioCommon.2012_x64.msm" >

What versions of the MStudioCommon merge module do you see here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules on your development machine? If you have versions other than 2012, would you mind posting them here?

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

Here are the MStudioCommon merge modules:

Directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules

Maybe we need 2013 version..?

Can you attach the 2012 ones? I would like to see if they contain the correct version of Common.

Hi Daniel,

Here are the files.

Thanks, Ilkka. After some further investigation, it looks like the 14.2 version of NationalInstrument.Common did not ship with a corresponding merge module that deploys it. I am in the process of tracking down whether one exists internally, and if I find it, I will post it immediately. 

You have several options going forward to solve / work around this issue in the meantime:

1. Upgrade to Measurement Studio 2015. The benefits of this approach are that you will be able to create your installer using Measurement Studio Installer Builder and that the 2015 version of Common will be installed which does have a corresponding merge module.
2. Use your current work around. The idea here is to build your project using the version of NationalInstruments.Common and dependencies you can deploy.

I'll update you again as soon as I can. 

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

Oohh thanks; I did not know that the Measurement Studio 2015 is officially published. I will test it.. We see tomorrow the results. 😉

Have a nice day,

Hi Daniel,

OK.. The Measurement studio is upgraded now to the ver. 2015. It is very good.. The designer mode works and also the old WiX setup project is OK. I do not know what had happened but now the setups in the target computers work with the newest assemblies:

Thanks for the great support.

BR,
Ilkka

PS: I tested the new measurement Studio Installer Builder. It seems to be nice product but I cannot add registry keys for handling the file extensions so that our software will be a default program for our data files. The registry values will not stay in the Installer Builder project.. I will make a new thread about this later.
