Re: to run a windows power shell script
Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,
Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.
Our "Run Windows PowerShell Script" predefined custom action uses by default the Bypass Windows PowerShell execution policy. Unfortunately, we don't have support to change the Windows PowerShell execution policy for a script launched using the "Run Windows PowerShell Script" predefined custom action.
The execution time and execution options settings are not specific only to PowerShell custom actions. They are generic settings used by all Windows Installer custom actions. Please take a look on our "Custom Action Properties" article. For example,if you need to access an installer property within your custom action, then you should configure the custom action to run as immediate. If you need to run your custom action after the installation resources (e.g. files, registries, etc) have been deployed on target machine, then you should configure it to run as deferred (scheduled after the "Install Execution Stage -> Add Resources" actions group).
If you have any questions let us know.
All the best,
Daniel

Re: to run a windows power shell script
Hello,
We don't have predefined functionality to send emails (e.g. based on user input address). However, you can develop your own custom action which will get the value of the property associated with your email edit box control and send an email to the extracted address. For example you can create a C# custom action or a C++ custom action. Then you can launch your custom action on a button push.
If you have any questions let us know.

Re: to run a windows power shell script
That one helped me...
But i need to take the text from the email edit box and i need it to use in the code... I took the property associated with the email edit box control, but i dono how to use it in the C# code. If i use the property directly then its generating a error that 'the name "EDIT_2_PROP"(property name) does not exist in the current context'. So how can i fetch the value from the edit control box to the code?

Re: to run a windows power shell script
Hello,
In order to be displayed a publisher name in the UAC prompt you should sign the installation setup. Also, please take a look on the "Why does the "Unknown Publisher" message appear during the install of a digitally signed package?" faq.

Re: to run a windows power shell script
I got a trial code signing certificate and i installed it in my computer and also added it to the digital signature page of Advanced Installer. Its working fine in my PC. It shows the Publisher name during the installation process. But when i try installing the setup in other PC, the publisher name still remains unknown... Can u help me out...
Can u help me out...Re: to run a windows power shell script
Hello,
This may happen if the certificate you are using is issued by a certificate provider which is not in the Member List of the Windows Root Certificate Program. In this case, to avoid this behavior you should import your certificate in the Certificate Store of your target machines. Please take a look on the "Import a Certificate" article.
Also, in order to get more details about the root cause of this behavior you can try to contact the support team of your certificate provider.
Let us know if this helped.
All the best,
Daniel

Re: to run a windows power shell script
Sir i need another clarification...
I need to store the state or session of the installer temporarily. If the user closes the installer in the middle, and if they open the installer again then it should start from the dialog where the installer was closed, it should not start from the beginning. Can i maintain the state or session of the installer? Is this possible?
