I'm running into the Windows Vista/7 Program Compatibility Assistant problem described here:
"This program might not have installed correctly" message in Windows 7 RC
The solution (backed-up by similar questions elsewhere, and MSDN), is apparently to add a 'compatibility' section to setup.exe's manifest. InstallShield 10 SP1 does this automatically, but unfortunately I only have InstallShield 2009.
How would I go about editing the manifest? Is there a way to do this programmatically, so I can integrate it into my build?
Look for the files named setupexe.*.manifest (Support or Program subfolder of InstallShield, I think) and edit or replace them. The appropriate one is selected and incorporated into setup.exe during build.
