Good day,
Kindly I'm looking for the VSeWSSv13 x64 as I couldn't find a source for the executable file and it is not exist in Microsoft as I need it for old SharePoint solution.
I couldn't find a source for the executable file.
According to my research, unfortunately, there is no source or method to install VSeWSSv13.Since it is too old, I recommend that you use the new version of SharePoint instead of the old version of SharePoint. Thanks for your understanding.
I have an old InstallShield installer which i believe was made using InstallShield 2012. I don't have the install script code for the same. I only have exe of the installer with me.
I need to create a new installer containing some of the same features from old installer, so is there any way by which i can get the setup.rul file of the installer from its exe?
I did some googling but got no help.
Setup.exe Extraction: If you run an extraction of your setup.exe, do you get an *.ins file?
Programmatically extract contents of InstallShield setup.exe
Extract MSI from EXE
Decompiler: I believe there are some hacky solutions to decompile *.ins to *.rul. I do not have such a tool, nor have I ever tried one and I can't recall seeing any trace of them for a whole decade. Perhaps Installshield support can help?
Alternatives: Off the top of my head: Contact Installshield support, they might have better advice? Check with Installshield community? Check with Stefan Kruger - Installshield consultant? Check any source repositories you can find based on setup.exe timestamp? (search for *.rul, *.ism, or similar as relevant). Check backups? Check backups of setup developer PC? Check github.com even? (for samples of similar tasks). Check external media, email attachments, network shares, etc...
After installing Slow Cheeath (v. 2.5.10.3) to two projects in my solution, I am receiving the following error:
"The "SlowCheetah.Xdt.TransformXml" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Users
\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah\v2.5.10.2\SlowCheetah.Xdt.dll. Could
not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild
\SlowCheetah\v2.5.10.2\SlowCheetah.Xdt.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot
find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the
assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public
class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask. ISA.IMPD.FalseAlarm.Web.Portal"
I have removed both projects in their entirety (along with Slow Cheetah), re-installed both projects (along with Slow Cheetah), and Rebuilt the solution to no avail. Can anyone help with this type of error?
In my case the error occured while compiling a web project. The folder
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah\v2.5.10.2
was empty. All the SlowCheetah components were in SlowCheetah\v1 folder instead. I've copied all files from V1 folder to v2.5.10.2 and everything compiled and transformed fine. To make non web projects compile, I also had to delete V1 folder as suggested by Whoever in this thread.
This was a brand new installation of the SlowCheetah Extension and I did not expect the v1 folder to exist at all. I believe this was a bug in the extension installation for Visual Studio 2012.
delete
AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah\v1
I seem to have found to solution to this problem.
Here's what I did:
You need to close Visual Studio, then navigate to:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Extensions
Delete the cache file that has the latest date and time
Open Visual Studio and remove Slow Cheetah from the Solution level
Re-install Slow Cheetah from the solution level to the desired projects.
This was failing on our build server, so I changed the revision number from:
<sc-MSBuildLibPathLocal Condition=" '$(sc-MSBuildLibPathLocal)'=='' ">$(LocalAppData)\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah\v2.5.10.2\</sc-MSBuildLibPathLocal>
To:
<sc-MSBuildLibPathLocal Condition=" '$(sc-MSBuildLibPathLocal)'=='' ">$(LocalAppData)\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah\v2.5.10.3\</sc-MSBuildLibPathLocal>
Why it was pointed to v2.5.10.2 is a mystery, but I'm definitely using v2.5.10.3! Looks like the nuget package itself has the bug in it.
I resolved it like this:
Uninstall slowcheetah => Tools>Extensions and Updates
click OK when VS asks you to restart VS.
in "C:\Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah" remove the 'v1' folder (which windows automatically creates when restarting your VS) (here be dragons..)
reïnstall slowcheetah (see step 1) => a new folder v2.5.10.2 will be created.
Again, click OK when he asks to restart
Build your solution

This problem went away for me after using the preview transformation feature in the context menu. Originally suggested here.
FYI this was on VS 2010 Premium.
Having multiple versions can lead to conflicts.
In my case I have installed both Microsoft.VisualStudio.SlowCheetah by Microsoft and SlowCheetah by Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi. After uninstalling the package from Microsoft everything went well.
I have deleted the old files in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah\v1. I also needed to upgrade Visual Studio 2012 to update 4 to make it work.
I was able to fix this issue by doing the following:
Uninstalling the SlowCheetah extension from the TOOLS > Extensions and Updates... menu
Closing Visual Studio
Deleting all files in the "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Extensions" folder
Opening Visual Studio
Reinstalling SlowCheetah from the TOOLS > Extensions and Updates... menu (which requires a Visual Studio restart)
This is using Visual Studio 2012 Premium with Update 4 and SlowCheetah version 2.5.10.
If you're getting this error on a TFS Build Server (in my case TFS Express 2013) then you will need to copy over the files from your local machine
C:\Users\SWEAVER\AppData\local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah
on your machine to whichever user your TFS build is running under
C:\users\TFSBuild\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah
Please note AppData is a hidden directory that you may not see, but just type the name and hit enter and it will come up.
I'm using VS2013 so I didn't copy v1 (I think v1 is for VS2012).
The original TFS error I got was :
C:\Builds\1\www.XXXXX.com\RRStore - XXXXX
Silverlight\Sources\RRStore.AdminConsole\Properties\SlowCheetah\SlowCheetah.Transforms.targets
(150): The "SlowCheetah.Xdt.TransformXml" task could not be loaded
from the assembly
C:\Users\TFSBuild\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah\v2.5.10.2\SlowCheetah.Xdt.dll.
Could not load file or assembly
'file:///C:\Users\TFSBuild\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSBuild\SlowCheetah\v2.5.10.2\SlowCheetah.Xdt.dll'
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Confirm that the declaration is correct, that the assembly
and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a
public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
Fortunately this error told me exactly where to place the files.
I had the same problem in Visual Studio 2013. Just install SlowCheetah NuGet package:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/SlowCheetah
They've released a new version which brings the installation procedure up to date:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2017/05/25/whats-new-and-improved-with-the-slowcheetah-extension/
Tired of having to install your NuGet packages manually to get
SlowCheetah to work? We’ve added automatic NuGet installation to help
streamline your process. All you need to install is the latest
extension and SlowCheetah will take care of the rest. When you use
SlowCheetah for the first time in a project, it will prompt you to
install or update NuGet packages. Agree and you’re ready to go!
Close Visual Studio
Install the VISX extension
Open your project.
This version detects if you already have it installed and offers to upgrade.
I would recommend checking in to source control and then doing a compare of your .csproj file to see what changes it made.
I need to execute the microsoft visual studio redistributable 2005 and 2010 as a prerequisite. I added the two files in Suport Files/Billboards section:
But now, I don't know how to run the distributables files. In a older version where only ran the 2005 version I saw the line in the install script file:
// Install the Visual C++ 2005 SP 1 Redistributable Package
LaunchAppAndWait ( SUPPORTDIR ^ "vcredist_x86.exe", "\q", WAIT );
What I have to do to run the two redistributable files?
Thanks in advance.
LaunchAppAndWait (or better yet LaunchApplication these days) can handle two files in two folders fine, but the support files view does not. You can either rename them; place them in folders next to setup.exe and use something like PACKAGE_LOCATION; or download them at install time with XCopyFile.
If you're using a recent enough version of InstallShield, you can instead use prerequisites in an InstallScript project which will just handle these details for you. I forget quite when that was added. InstallShield 2009 is pretty old now.
Being forced to use the garbage version of LE in VS 2012, I cannot get things to build because it is telling me that my install folder path is too long. It literally looks like it is creating the same path, verbatim, inside of another folder. First this fails on the DVD so can I disable that? Second, this appears to be controlled by the variable ISProductFolder but I cannot find how to modify that location.
Can somebody please help?
Well, it is not surprise that each setup tool has its problems. Please note that there are no tools which can accurately detect your application dependencies. The best a tool can do is make suggestions. This is why most setup developers determine the dependencies themselves and manually include them in the installer.
If you're not happy with InstallShield, you can try a different setup tool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_installation_software
The free version of Advanced Installer includes a Visual Studio setup project which may help.
