visilogic VisiLogic 9.8.80 install problem

[HexMan]

Hi guys!

I am trying to install the latest version of VisiLogic, but it is not possible in my Windows 10 x64 (PRO) laptop.

Trying in a VM with Windows 7 works fine...

Any idea?

Hi;

Been there , done that.   This is a Windows related issue.

There is an install shield file that has information in it causing the problem, and has to be  moved or deleted.

Here is a solution:

CAUTION :  I Take NO Responsibility for anything that happens ( good or bad)!!!!!

                           Local Administrator privileges may be necessary.

                           KNOW what you are doing!

Open        C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information

There are a few or many very oddly named folders  e.g.  {12AB95C7-C72D-4CF5-9B6D-7452DF048C56}

Starting at the top, click on the folder to open it:

             Each  folder has a group of files.

             Look for the file :   Setup.ini

                    Double click to open the file or open the file in Notepad  ( Notepad ONLY, this is a simple Text File)

                     Top Line               [Startup]

                     2nd line               AppName= If the App name is NOT   VisiLogic, close Notepad ( DO NOT do a Save  or Save As)

                                                      Move on the next folder

                                                      If the Appname=   is VisiLogic,   Close Notepad

                                                       Back out of that folder,

                                                       Cut the Folder and Paste  it into the Downloads Folder  -- Just a safe place to put it for now.

                                                       Also   Rename the Folder  and   ADD       - VisiLogic

                 Restart the VisiLogic Installation, and ( fingers crossed ) it should go smoothly.

 

You can also run a registry cleanup program later to locate and delete unused registry entries.

OK Dan, I have to ask! 

How many times did you bang your head on the wall during finding this answer?

Good stuff.

Hello Guys!

First of all... DanT, thanks!

The solution works ok in this case!

AMAZING.

The problem is with the previus version, I don´t know why, but is impossible to unistall.

Hi Aus;

     Too Many times,  and a bit of research,  registry editing(hacking),  and help from other sources.

     There is a registry entry that has to be removed/bypassed , but this is a safer way.

I know it's a bit late now, but a thing to remember for the future is the use of Revo Uninstaller.  It often solves incomplete uninstall problems.  I always use the portable type, free/$ versions available here:
