Hi  
  
I’'m using FB 8.0.0.2007  
How can I run InstallShield project action as a different user ?  
Why the Execution Properties are disabled for this action ?

The installshield action was written long ago and that functionality currently only works for newer actions that descend from a newer base action class. I have just retrofitted the functionality into the action, wil post here with a new build shortly.

My apologies, forgot to post the link - [http://downloads.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/800/FB800\_2342.exe](http://downloads.finalbuilder.com/downloads/finalbuilder/800/FB800_2342.exe)   
  
 Note this is not fully tested as we do not have a working copy of Installshield (trial expired).
