I am trying to install a print server with a SETUP.exe that bears a copyright
date of 1997. I get an error message, 105, that reads that setup cannot find
install languages in setup.lid. There is no .lid file, of course.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Old Installshield is 16 bit, and doesn't run in 64 bit Windows.

Thought that was the problem.

What is the solution?

I wouldn't know, unless you can find the drivers on of the 32 bit
machines and install them in the 64 bit machine.
Or best call the company and ask them for 32 bit setup.
I did that on one of my 1997 programs, and they immediately
changed ad send me 32 bit setup.

Assuming for the moment that the company is no longer in that business, is
there a way of using a 32-bit installer with the files intended to be used by
the 16-bit installer?

I have had luck substituting the 32-bit installer from another program with
WISE installer and UNWISE uninstaller. I haven't tried with installShield.

In my case for the install, I was able to copy the installation to hard
disk, open the folder with WISE.exe in it and I copied another version of it
from a program which had installed previously, I had to rename it, then I
was able to do the install. If I recall, InstallShield usually unpacks the
files in the first step, so maybe you can start the process in x86, find the
temporary files that are being extracted and work from there. I don't know
as I haven't tried that.

16bit installer work arrounds.
Sounds Likes an 16bit installer. i get round those by installing a program
called WinInstall LE on XP Home (i kept installed for some functions like
this or my TV card and some other hardware to work)

I install it then run a scan for my current settings. and it makes a note.
install the software and then scans for changes and makes an MSI installer
with the files so then it can be install on XP X64. but make sure the that
the program being installed is 32bit as since it will not work with 16bit
programs.

Its all done with a wizard so its not hard to use.

Hey John,

I am still working on this, unsuccessfully. I copied the files to a folder
and copied a copy of installshield to the folder and still get an error
message.

But the question I have, where is the folder that has wise.exe in it? I ran
a search and cannot find it. I find a lot of unwise's, but not wise.exe.

Ned
