Just updated to AI 15.8 - still no merge modules for MSVC 2017.

Hello

I am wondering why aren't there Visual Studio 2017 merge modules in the Advanced Installer (I have AI 5.5.1)?

I can see only Visual C++ 14.0 CRT in the list.

This script repeatedly shows the message until 'Yes' is pressed, but the desired behavior is to show this message while the process is running. Is it possible to do that? while (process_is_running("program.exe")) { if (message("Do you want to automatically close the X application?&quo...

I think that you should not worry about such case, since I doubt it is possible. The custom action should successfully stop the process. Are you facing such an issue? Maybe you have incorrectly configured the custom action. So far I have not faced issues about stopping the process. However, I would...

Hello We use an external application (player) in our software. In order to install it correctly it should not be running. Is it possible to ask a user to close it if it's running? I have read this article and watched this tutorial, but it looks like this way can show the message only once. But what ...

Hello Some users experience issues with the installer giving the error message "'Documenten' is geen geldige naam" (that is "'Documents' is not a valid name" in English). The issue occurs during the preparation step when it asks to wait while Setup Wizard prepares to guide you th...

The old version was created a long time ago, so I am not sure whether I have the project that was used for that. Also I can't tell precisely which version of AI I was using at that moment, supposedly 10.7 or 10.9. But I noticed the issue doesn't seem to occur if I create an update with the same vers...

After installing the new version of my product (major update) I noticed the following. When I double click the file associated with my program for the first time after update it shows this window: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45873423/files-assoc-after-update.png Is that a normal behavior? It...

Maybe it's not a bad idea to check whether the updater process is already in memory before running it? Or do you think it's a faulty approach? The problem would not be that painful if MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx/WaitForSingleObject returned in that case, but it doesn't (updater and the installer han...

Digging deeper into the issue I've found the following: 1) When the updated application is launched from the update installer it checks for updates. At that moment the updater is still in the memory and the updater process called from the application wrongfully returns 0 (which means updates are ava...

Apologize. I was wrong. I use my installer as an update and I did not check 'Disable Auto Restart' option in the update settings, so it was launched because of this.

Reinstalling AI seems to have fixed the issue. For some reason it started to install something when I was building my installer. Probably, it was something for Visual Studio (as it tried to set up vsvars32.bat) which was open at the moment. Perhaps, it caused the problem.

I've noticed in the latest Advanced Installer (11.8) application launcher works strange. At first, it runs the application even if I did not click the run button, but simply closed the dialog. At second, it runs the application even if I disable that feature in the installer. I went further and trie...

Hello. In my application I need to wait for the updater to finish checking, downloading and installing updates. I am following this guide. Instead of WaitForSingleObject(mutex, INFINITE) I am using MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx(1, hMutexes, INFINITE, QS_POSTMESSAGE, 0) as I have to handle WM_CLOSE eve...
