For years I have been making installers with innosetup, on Windows XP SP3. I have just installed the latest innosetup, 5.5.6 (u) (for Unicode) on Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit. I made a new installer, successfully, but when I run it, nothing is displayed, then I see 3 instances of the installer in the task manager. I try to End Process, no effect. I have tried pskill and it reports success in killing the process, but it is still there. Then I tried the PowerShell 4 program 'kill' (or 'spps') with -Force and -Id.
Some instances would die, others persisted. Strangely, when I run the installer, the User Access Control challenge does not appear. I have also run installers made months ago with innosetup, with similar results.
Kill Process From Command Line
Do you know if some recent Windows Update has broken things?

I believe that WatchGuard (www.watchguard.com) uses your software in their installation setup for their WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) application suite. Their WSM 11.3.2 suite has a problem when being installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) and gets an error stating “IssProc.x64 has stopped working” shortly after the installer starts to run.
They have not been able to fix it in over ten months, so I started digging, which is how I found this site. WatchGuard says that Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) is a supported OS, but they have this crash problem.
I am not a programmer, so none of the code examples on this site mean anything to me. In case it helps, here are the details I get after a crash of the IssProc.x64 process. Unfortunately, ‘Files in use’ window causes serious condition. While it’s active, if you switch to any other window (if it loses focus), main window and ‘Files in use’ window becomes invisible and unresponsive. Looks like window messages are not processed correctly (the only response sometimes I can get is partial system menu on setup’s taskbar button).
The only way to get it back (make it visible) is to minimize all windows and then switch to it. Tested on Vista and XP, with InnoSetup AND with a “loader” windows application, so I know it’s not a random condition. I hope you can figure it out. Btw, the captcha you are using is totally illegible. Need some help, I would like to use this with another feature but they both use the same function function NextButtonClick(CurPage: Integer): Boolean; So I did this: function NextButtonClick(CurPage: Integer): Boolean; begin if CurPage = wpReady then begin Result:= CheckAppRun and CheckNET; end; end; and created function CheckAppRun: Boolean; with the code from the NextButtonClick minus the if CurPage = wpReady then. But now I when I run the setup program I’m unable to get next click to work.
Any help on why this is please let me know? IssProc is great but I have a small problem. I use IssProcLanguage.ini to show instructions in Polish. It is ok in some WindowsXP and Vista but sometimes in win98 or some XPs instructions are shown in English.
I guest that it is problem with including.ini and finally is shown oryginaly english instuction probably from issProc.dll. It is very important to display all informations in Polish Can I ask for help? May I ask for translated issProc.dll file?
Or any other ways to solve my problem? Hello, I just came across this extension and it does exactly what I was looking for. I’m having an issue with ‘Retry’. When I click it, even though I have exited the process I was checking for, it still shows in the list and I am unable to continue with setup. If I exit setup and re-run, I can continue on fine. Is it possibly something I need to put in to my setup script that controls this behavior? I’m running this on Server 2008 64-Bit and using the latest Inno Setup version.
Thank you, Clark L. Hi, Is it possible to get the name and icon of the file-in-use from the app’s main window, instead of getting it from the FileVersion info? This is what Task Manager does for the 'Applications' tab, as it is generally more useful/correct than just the FileVersion info. The exact problem I’m having is this: when the file-in-use is a Java app, IssProc will display something like 'Java (TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition binary (javaw.exe)' with the ugly default icon. Of course, most users have no idea what that is!
I think that getting the icon and name from the FileVersion info is a good backup strategy for processes that don’t have any windows. Thanks for a nice utility! Hi Neo, For now caption on install/uninstall can not be set from language file but I will add that on my “to do list”. For your translation: in the file IssProcLanguage.ini file create a section called fr (used on install ) and fru (unsinstall) and add your translated variables just like those in english, something like this (you can copy the below code and translate):;. French language Install.
fr;. Labels. TopBoldLabel=Files in use TopSubLabel=Some files that needed to be updated are currently in use.
MoreInfoLabel=The following applications are using files that need to be updated by this setup. Close these applications and then click Retry to continue the installation or Cancel to exit it.;. Buttons. CancelButton=&Cancel IgnoreButton=&Ignore RetryButton=&Retry;.French language Uninstall. fru;. Labels. TopBoldLabel=Files in use TopSubLabel=Some files that needed to be removed are currently in use.
MoreInfoLabel=The following applications are using files that need to be removed by this setup. Close these applications and then click Retry to continue uninstalling or Cancel to exit it.;. Buttons. CancelButton=&Cancel IgnoreButton=&Ignore RetryButton=&Retry After you add (and translate) the above sections use “fr” and “fru” for language param of IssProc function like this: nCode:=IssFindModule(hWnd,sModuleName,’fr’,false,true); and on uninstall like this: nCode:=IssFindModule(hWnd,sModuleName,’fru’,false,true); Please send you translation file at: razvar.at. Com and I will reply you with the working/modified french one.
