Hi There, we've hit a problem where users are unable to perform remote installs using apps like Remote Desktop Connection because we have a minimum screen resolution of 1024x768 set. The users in question manage a large number of remote systems and so typically have their remote sessions running at ...

Hmm, very strange - I deleted the MSI etc. and it still refused. I reverted all of my changes, re-applied them and it worked fine.

Has anyone seen the following error when trying to compile an MSI before? it was working earlier today - all I've done since then is: o add a new custom action to the InstallIIS step of a merge module & build it. o import the new merge module into a current project o add a new custom action to t...

Thanks Cosmin, I'll give that a try. While I'm trying, though - InstallFinalize won't let me select "Deferred with no impersonation" - from my experiences so far, won't that cause me problems on a vista pc?

Hi There, I'm hoping someone can provide me with some best practice on preventing the repair/modify options for my installer. Basically, I do not want the user to be able to repair or modify my package - all they can do is install it and then uninstall it. A bit draconian maybe, but it's what we're ...

Hi There, I'm running 2 types of custom actions - in one case, a simply command line application, the other a batch file that performs more complex work. However, each time the action runs, it flashes up (albeit briefly) a command window. Is there any way to prevent this, or at least have the comman...

Hi.

I've attached a zipped up aip file that has a simple combobox & custom action - hope this helps.

Hi There, I've been hitting some problems populating a static combo box and have been unable to find solutions in the help or forum. So, here's my need - I want to display a static combo box (i.e. the user has to select one of the options, no typing) with two options. These are fixed options (i.e. n...

Hi Cosmin,

that looks like it has solved it.

thanks for the help with this - I appreciate the quick response!

Brian
