8.4 Problem with Path Variables set to Environment Variables

[bryanmanwaring]

I am having a problem since I upgraded to 8.4. I have a project specific path variable called PluginBuildOutput set to the environment variable %PLUGIN_BUILD_OUTPUT%. The environment variable on my computer is set to D:\PluginBuildOutput. When advanced installer loads or when it tries to build, it is appending the environment variable incorrectly. The path variable is set to be D:\Code\plugins\%PLUGIN_BUILD_OUTPUT%. (which resolves to D:\Code\plugins\D:\PluginBuildOutput)

D:\Code\plugins is the value of my project root path.

Any suggestions? I had not been having any problems with my projects before I upgraded.

Hello,

Can you please send us the .AIP (project) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it?

All the best,
Mihai

Hi,

The problem is caused by a bug in Advanced Installer, thank you for bringing it to our attention. A fix will be included in version 8.5 of Advanced Installer which is scheduled for
release in the next weeks.

Until then you have two options:
1) delete the project path variable and create as a global variable
2) use and a version of Advanced Installer older then 8.2, for example 8.1.3.

Regards,
Bogdan

Thank you for letting me know. I will anxiously await 8.5. For now, I will have to roll back to the older version as I need to have per project variables.
