Unexpected Directory Opens after install

An odd event is now occuring after an install completes. It started after I added a Custom vbs DoAction via Published Event on the Install Button on the VerifyReadyDlg Dialog (as referenced in http://www.advancedinstaller.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1274&highlight=conditional+features , Everythin...

That was it!! I guess I never knew about the public - private property, and I especially did not know that case would have made a difference in my variable names. I will have to read more about this. I renamed my failing entry to ALL CAPS and it works now!!! :lol: What I still don't understand thoug...

Some Registry key values from AI variable not getting set

I cannot get a value to update in the registry-even though it displays properly in a dialog. Other values from the same dialog update fine. I have two custom dialogs (Ent ver) that collect several bits of info from the human installer. The goal is to set an app to use a specific IP address depending...

Make Add User/Group conditional

I realize from the help file that when adding a user or group, that the installation will fail if the user or group already exists. Can you add a condition that will check to see if the user or group exists already and not attempt to add it again if so. I have a lot of systems, where some of them ha...

Not for AI but for the Forum

Enable the ability to embed images without having to reference an external url, I think it would make it easier to get the message across about dialogs, both from the users and the responses from support as well. Just a thought...:idea: Thanks http://www.advancedinstaller.com/images/logo-search.gif

Environment Variable not avail to Batch file via Installer

Using custom Dialogs, I set various Registry settings and Environment variables. One of the last steps in my install is to execute a batch file. My batch file uses these environment variables to take certain actions depending on the choices made in the dialogs. But the variables don't exist for my b...

Dialog Tester

I would like to be able to test my dialogs (custom-ent. version) for functionality and flow without having to execute the built installer package. It would be especially nice if this testing could include the functionality to set Registry values, Environment Values, or at least variables within AI t...

Test Mode Installer

Perhaps include a Test Mode for a compiled package. A flag or option that you can set on certain events that when you run in 'Test" mode , the events only simulate or skip and not actually run. I found that when I am designing an installer that modifies Windows Security settings or registry val...

Better Checkbox handling

Better design the checkboxes-make them easier to use: Instead of just having a value when its checked and no value when its not checked, set the value to true or 1 or -1 when checked and 0 or false when not checked. I ask this as I just went through a confusing process, in order to allow me to set a...

v 4.1.2--Exception error in some projects created in v3.3.1

I was running AI v 3.3.1. I created a project to install an app (in Pro Mode). The resultant MSI installed fine. No problem there. Anyway, recently I upgraded to v4.1.2. But when I open my old Project file, I get the following error: "Exception - A row with this key [id APPDIR\Scanner\WASP\DTCo...

Thanks. That worked. I didn't even think of that. Now if that were my only registry problem I would be good to go. The second issue I have (and I detailed in another topic), specifically relates to how characters are being stripped from my registry entries everytime the AIP/project is loaded. Which ...

Importing registry entries with Variables issue

I have another registry issue in this forum, but its not directly related, but my workaround is compounded by this issue: Its a two-fold problem with the lack of a find-and replace and and importing issue. :arrow: Scenario: I have a simple registry entry. A reg_SZ type. When my end app is installed ...
