Cosmin, I have finally worked out what is causing this issue, if i dont have the services running of our application, it does not pop up the dialog box. My guess is that the Windows Installer is verifying that all files are ready to be deleted (ie not locked etc), and if any file is in a state it ca...

Hi Cosmin, Thank you for your response, but is there anything we can do about it, as the programs it complains about that are still running have no files in use that we are going to install. I am not sure how it works out that there is files in use that our application does not touch? I tested other...

Hi, What I would like to acheive is as follows : As the build machine builds our product, we increment it from ie 3.0.0.1 to 3.0.0.2 However, this is not really an upgrade as such, it is just a testing version, and we would like to just simply overwrite the existing files (except for ones flagged as...

Cosmin, Is there a particular format for the VBS script. The un-installer always fails with : "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." All I did was create a ...

Hi cosmin, [quote="cosmin"] Note that the multi-language support should also be done from inside the custom action (get the language of the OS and show the appropriate message). [/quote] What if the installer is running in a different language, I would need to retreive the languge the user...

Hi, I have found how you can specify a minium os version, and the message in this case is generally very basic error reported to the user. What I would like to acheive is if the os is of version a,b,c these are supported. If the version id defg, we would like to pop up a message stating the product ...

Hi,

Is it possible to not have the UserExit dialog to not appear if the user cancels the install. Ultimately, the user has already said yes to cancelDlg Dialog, so we feel the install should just close immediately?

Cheers

Hi Cosmin, This is a great feature and would like to ask if it is possible to have the drop down box actual display the language name in the language itself. Cheers Jason [quote="cosmin"]Hi, This feature is already supported by Advanced Installer. To use it you can go to the "Media&qu...

Hi, We have a data file in the install, and is installed into Common Application Data. When the user has used our program, we dont want the file to be deleted at un-install automatically, But we would like this to be optional, based on asking the user first. This will also require the same question ...

Hi, Just wondering how I can make a certain file that was installed, be optional on the uninstall process. I would like to ask the user a question, and make a decision on whether to remove there database file, or not. And also on the flip side, if the file already exists (ie upgrading) we dont want ...

Hi, I have setup a search for component {A49F249F-0C91-497F-86DF-B2585E8E76B7} which is VC 2005 Redistributable. I then would like to use the outcome of this search to decide on if I should install or not to install the vc2005 redist. The problem is I cannot see how I can use this variable name. The...

[quote="cosmin"]Hi,

Please try to use the "Deffered with no impersonation" option in the "Execution Options" section in the "Properties" page of the custom action.

Let me know if the problem persists.

Hi, I have a custom action that gets executed in the WriteIniValues. It is a DLL, and on XP works like a charm. However, in Vista, it does not let me alter the files after they have been installed. How should one go about correctly doing this. Just for the record, the reason for me changing the file...
