Hi, You get that behavior because the package UI runs in user context (not elevated). However you can use a "Launch File as Administrator" type of custom action. On how to configure it please see: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/custom-actions-predefined-ui.html#launch-file-adm...

Hi Alec, "File Removal" operations are best choice for resource cleanup. But note that the time when a "File Removal" operation is triggered depends on the "Remove On" selected option, please see: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/file-removal-dialog.html In y...

Hi Phil, Note that the "CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm" merge module has a configurable parameter ("PIDKEY"). Configure this parameter by selecting the module from "Merge Modules" page and choose "Configure" from context menu. Build project again. Let us k...

Hi, I'm afraid that dialog customization feature (adding new controls) is available only for Enterprise type of projects which requires an Enterprise license. However you can upgrade your license here: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/upgrade.html You can change project type to Enterprise here (note...

Hi,

For now you can specify the install location individual for each assembly. But I have added this as improvement on our TODO list and will be available in a future version. Thank you for your suggestion.

Hi, A merge module is linked to a feature. Create a separate feature and add the merge module to that feature. Condition the feature installation by using the "Condition install level" from "Organization" page: http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-guide/feature-properties.html h...

Hi Sunny, It might be a problem with the driver digital signature. If you are not using a digital signature then please use the "Install unsigned driver package and driver package that have missing files" option in "Drivers" page and let me know if the problem still persist. Kind...

Hi,

Have you tried to run the script outside Advanced Installer. Does it work in this case ?

If the problem still persist please sent the AIP file (or a small test project reproducing this behavior) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can take a look.

Hi Steve,

In order to use the Enterprise features you need to have an Enterprise license. You can upgrade your license here:
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/upgrade.html

After that you can convert your project type to Enterprise by using the Project -> Options menu.

Hi Todd, Please make sure the custom actions that set the AKPSOFT property to the desired folder are execute in both sequences (UI and Execute), this is because on silent install (basic UI) the custom actions scheduled under "InstallUISequnce" are skipped. To share the a custom action betw...

Hi, - create a shortcut to cmd.exe - go to the properties of the shortcut. You will see tabs like "layout", "colors" etc. (which a shortcut to a non-console application doesn't have) - modify the color properties etc. If afraid you cannot control those shortcut option tabs from A...

Hi Frank, I'm afraid I don't know much about PowerShell. You need to see what commands for changing the foreground/background colors are supported by Windows PowerShell and set them as arguments for the shortcut. For example to start cmd.exe with foreground/background colors to Blue/Green use follow...

Hi, So far I have tried to create an installer using the Properties->Auto Register File option but it doesn't work on a limited account. This is because HKCR is accessed and DllRegisterServer routines currently do not support the notion of a per-user HKCR key. Read more on how Windows Installer hand...

Hi, The problem is that if the property ([VD_DOMAIN]) is set to [%USERDOMAIN], it doesn't change to the real domain namem but stays [%USERDOMAIN]. Note that this may happen if you hardcode the property value in the "Install Parameters" page. To set the VD_DOMAIN property to the expanded va...
