Hi, I am sorry to hear that. The very reason we are making releases so often is to discover problems like these as early as possible and fix them. If you are not satisfied, we can refund your license at any time. Just let us know. We are working very hard on making AI as robust as possible but indee...

Hi, The problem is that when uninstalling the application the DLLs are not being unregistered. There is no other application using the DLLs. You can generate an uninstall log in order to determine what might cause this. http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/qa-log.html What I need to know is h...

Hi,

Please send the AIP file (or a simple test case) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can reproduce this behavior and determine what causes it.

Hi Jorge,

Please send the AIP fie and the installation logs to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate this.

Hi,

I'm accessing the property in my vbscript using Session.Property("APPDIR").

You should not retrieve the APPDIR property but CustomActionData. It will contain the value of APPDIR.

Code: Select all

Session.Property("CustomActionData")

Hi Satya,

Is it advanced updater working successfully while launching with application only not with system service?

The updater was not designed to be launched from a system service. I have added this on our list of improvements. I'm afraid that there is no workaround for this.

Hi, Firstly, the property that I’d like to ‘send’ to my vbscript is the application directory (formatted as [ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer]\[ProductName] as per the Product Details view). This is not getting passed to my script. How is this achieved? I assume the property should be deferr3d as we...

Hi,

Please note that this custom action will fail during installation. It should be:

Code: Select all

MsgBox Session.Property("APPDIR")

Also you cannot access properties from a deferred custom action. You should set it to "Immediate execution".

Hi, My question is: is there a way to enable the "Always overwrite" by default? Like a project property or something? I'm afraid not. You will have to manually add the flag. Please note that can add the flag using multiple selection on files. In the next version of AI this option will be a...

Hi,

In order to to this just enable the "Always Overwrite" option in the file properties dialog (Version tab).

That I would always need to set the name of the ODBC in the AI ODBC view AND the same text in the Install params to be used anywhere else?

Yes for the moment. I have added on our to do list to improve this in the future.

Best regards,
Ciprian

This is possible. Just create a property in the "Install Parameters" with the desired value. You can then use that property in all formatted and pseudo-formatted fields.

Hi Patrick,

Enclose the prerequisite name in quotes as it contains spaces, ("Borland C") and there shouldn't be any more problems.

Hi,

What do you mean by "ODBC setup scrren"? If you are referring to the data entered in the AI ODBC view, I'm afraid that it cannot be stored in a property because those fields are not formatted.

Best regards,
Ciprian

Hi, First and the most obvious: if you import and then save the project - you can't open it anymore (different errors may appear, most probably similar to this "row with id TARGET already exists") The error appears because of a AI bug. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. It shall b...
