Summary

Set All Component 64bit option to “YES “using Installshield Automation Interface script

Symptoms

In a project which contains a large amount of components changing 64bit option to YES manually is time consuming.

Resolution

It is possible to use Installshields Automation Interface functionality to automate this process. The example below uses vbscript code to set all the component 64 bit option to YES.

You can run the script using vbs editor or you can run the script using “wscript.exe” in cmdlet.

Path to wscript.exe “C:\Windows\System32>wscript.exe”

'Create project object for InstallShield 2019
Set pProject  = CreateObject("ISWiAuto25.ISWiProject")
 'Open project your project ism file
pProject.OpenProject "<Path to ISM File>"
'set 64 bit option to YES for single component 
Set pComponent = pProject.ISWiComponents.Item("<Your Component name>")
pComponent.Attrib64BitComponent = "True"
'Set 64 bit option to YES for all component in ISM

Set pComponent = pProject.ISWiComponents
‘Msgbox pComponent.Count
For Each pComponent in pProject.ISWiComponents
'Setting Component to 64bit
pComponent.Attrib64BitComponent = "True"
'Setting Dot Scan option to None
pComponent.DotNetScanAtBuild = 0
Next
'Adding a Product Config and Release
pProject.AddProductConfig("Prod config").AddRelease("Release")
'Set an existing product configuration
Set productconfig = pProject.ISWiProductConfigs.Item("Prod config")
'Set and existing release
Set Release = productconfig.ISWiReleases("Release")
'Build the release
 Release.Build()
'Save and close
pProject.SaveProject
pProject.CloseProject
