New to AI, and have some Questions....

[Ted_Hulick@comcast.net]

* Question 1: Is there some way to just specify Folders and not files and when the build takes place it would automatically find the folders and put them in. Yes, you can do this manually in the wizard - but I'm in development and although my dirs are the same, my files are constantly changing....

* Question 2: AdvancedInstaller\AdvancedInstaller /build rjt.aip is a command line option I am using, it builds rjt.msi...how can I override the name for the .msi file? /msifilename xxx.msi ?

* Question 3: On the Dialogs, is there just a generic dialog that asks you a question (and you supply the text) and then specifies a yes/no/cancel script/etc. to execute? This would be useful as many installs have several options...and could be handled by installer versus a custom setup from the app.

Hi,

Question 1: Is there some way to just specify Folders and not files and when the build takes place it would automatically find the folders and put them in.

This can be done in the "Files and Folders" page by using the synchronization feature. You can read more about this feature here:
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... lders.html

Basically, a synchronized folder in the "Files and Folders" page will contain the files placed in the synchronized folder on the disk.

Question 2: AdvancedInstaller\AdvancedInstaller /build rjt.aip is a command line option I am using, it builds rjt.msi...how can I override the name for the .msi file?

This can be done by using the /SetPackageName command:
http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... -name.html

Question 3: On the Dialogs, is there just a generic dialog that asks you a question (and you supply the text) and then specifies a yes/no/cancel script/etc. to execute?

I'm afraid that this is not supported by Windows Installer. However, you can use the Dialog Editor feature in Advanced Installer to create your own custom dialog:

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
