Our company recently started to use Advanced Installer, and we ran into a problem.
Our setup is a very simple one with reqs :
1. Install the product, it contains only 1 feature that's always installed, no fancy thins
2. When a new version is created, completely de-install current one, and install new one
So, we have a version 1.0.0 of the package, with 'Automatically upgrade older product versions.' checked. Obviously, we keep
the upgrade code the same, the product code and version will change. We set as Default installation path c:\testapp".
Now, we run the setup, install to "C:\testapp2". It installs and runs perfectly.
After a while, we change the product, and bring out version 1.1.0. We run the setup and have the problem
the installation path is reverted back to default one, not the actual path used in last installation (C:\testapp),
making automatic deployment and upgrading outside the default location a pain in the ass with like thousands of users.
This also prevents silent upgrading of installations.
Any comments/recommendations ?
