Hello,

SetupBuilder creates native high-performance Windows executables (.exe). You can embed such an .exe into a .msi using the "#exe2msi" directive (if you have to). Please see the "exe2msi Demo.sbp" Example project.

Have you attached demo sbp file?

I tried using pragma however I am getting below error.

I had given wrong msi output path, it worked now.

If I install exe then entry in Add/Remove programs gets added but not happened when installed msi file, any idea?

I have one sbp for main product and other sbp project to convert exe to msi, so do I have to set settings in exetomsi convert project as well to add entry in add or remove programs? tried this as well, didnt worked.

Please try the "UAC compliant" switch.

Hello,

I have tried that, as in our product we need to install service so we have kept Execution Level to requireAdministartor, and when msi is created with "UAC compliant" switch then while installing msi we get error shown in image. I tried to execute msi file from administrator command prompt then msi gets installed but no entry in Add/Remove programs of windows.

I had set $SB_ALLUSERSFLAG$ to 0 thats why it was not working, sorted now.
